About RootZoo

So here’s the deal.  For years, we sports fans have been spoon-fed with information.  We get our stats online and read what the experts have to say, but have little room to express our own opinions.  As sports fans, not only are we opinionated, but very often our opinions are the right ones, aren’t they?  We fans have lacked a unifying website that allows us to talk freely with each other.  Sometimes we've heard enough of the so-called experts because sometimes they just don't get it.  It’s time for the fans to speak. 

And so RootZoo was born. It’s all yours from here. Talk sports on fast-paced threads without having to wait hours and days for responses.  Connect with fans of your teams.  Talk smack to rival fans to rub in the pain of the burn when their team fails.  Write articles and put yourself on the map as a knowledgeable fan.  Create the polls that you want to see, to get the answers you want to know.  See the best sports video highlights around the web. Find tickets straight from fellow fans, and so much more. 

But that's not all.  To sweeten the deal, we've got rewards for you.  To ensure that our biggest and best contributors are rewarded for their efforts, we've created a point system.  As you earn points and hit new levels, privileges are unlocked and your influence as a fan becomes that much stronger.  Not bad, huh?  There’s more though.  As you hit higher levels, there are prizes for you.  T-shirts.  Free tickets (no, not the nosebleeds). 

To celebrate our launch, RootZoo is giving away $100 ticket gift certificates (to be used to see any team you please – even the Grand Rapids rampage if that’s your thing) to the first 250 fans to reach 10,000 points.  Through a combination of participation, quality posts, spreading the word about our site and more, you'll be there before you can say Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo (yes, that's his real full name). 

RootZoo will continue the tradition of its contests beyond this, so be on the lookout for plenty more to come (both contests and new features) because you never know what's next.  So go on. Indulge yourself.  From this day forward, your experience as a sports fan has been permanently enriched.  It’s a new day in the life of the fan.  Enjoy your newfound power.  We apologize to any significant others who may not be happy about this, but we think you'll be ok with that ;-) 

As always, use good judgment and enjoy the site.  Welcome home.
