RotoWire.com Acquires MockDraftCentral.com

Madison, WI, January 11, 2010 – RotoWire.com, the leading fantasy sports web site for content and games, has acquired MockDraftCentral.com, the leading destination for mock drafts and real-time draft software.

"Adding the web's leading outlet for mock drafts to our best-of-breed content will give fantasy users increased advantages when preparing for fantasy drafts," said RotoWire.com president Peter Schoenke. "It's a great fit because both businesses have subscription models that focus on customer service and offering products that are worth paying for to give a fantasy owner a competitive advantage."

RotoWire.com will continue to operate MockDraftCentral.com as a stand-alone site with the same business model and subscription packages for customers.

"We want to assure MockDraftCentral's customers that we'll continue to operate the site as before with the same high level of customer service and ease of use," said Schoenke. "And we plan to continue the site's history of being on the leading edge of development of new technology to facilitate mock and league drafts."

MockDraftCentral's founder Jason Pliml will continue to work with the site to ensure a smooth transition.

"RotoWire and MockDraftCentral are a great combination because RotoWire's approach to fantasy has always been similar to our approach in that they continually innovate and place customer service at the top of their priorities," said Pliml. "RotoWire has a great history of developing new ideas and technology for fantasy sports. I'm confident that MockDraftCentral's customers will not only be in great hands, but the web site and software will become an even more powerful tool going forward."
