Professional Bull Riders Announce NFT Trading Card Game
Professional Bull Riders (PBR) has partnered with SmartMedia Technologies (SMT) to introduce digital collectible cards. These will be for riders in the individual competition titled ‘Unleash the Beast’ for the 2022 season. It was finished a few months ago in May. To clarify, the PBR is an international professional bull riding organization, with events televised on CBS and CBS Sports.
PBR NFT details
Professional Bull Riders have announced their new digital cards as collectable NFTs representing riders in their individual category. The NFTs will be offered to fans along with a fantasy leaderboard.
The PBR Team NFT Card Collection allows fans to select seven riders to create a personal fantasy team that will award them points based on the performance of riders throughout the PBR Team Series season, which began July 25 in Cheyenne, Wyoming and will finish with a championship in Las Vegas November 4-6.
This fantasy concept is somewhat similar to Sorare, where association football fans can compete with their players, who they have as NFTs, to earn points based on real-life stats and performances.
In the 8 Second Drop challenges that started on August 8fans can collect trading cards, which include exclusive stills and 3D animations, for each team.
Tyler Moebius, CEO of SmartMedia Technologies stated, “We are excited to launch the new PBR Team Series and expand the capabilities of the company’s Web3 platform by adding a new play-to-earn fantasy component, with 20K PBR wallets already under management, our partnership with PBR continues to prove how SMT makes Web3 easy and how brands can leverage it to acquire, engage and drive loyalty across a mobile-first audience.
Users can participate in PBR’s NFTs through their PBR Stockyard website.
