We haven't officially announced this contest yet because we are still working on a few unique angles to make this contest special. We'd like to tie it into the Main Event with an insurance policy to give it extra juice and really give everyone a chance to win both overall titles and the cash bonus....

John, congrats on an amazing year. Truly dominating season all around. Hopefully our Brewers can follow your lead and bring home the championship.

The majority of this thread has been about the prize payouts and structure, with some FAAB discussion. So maybe this is a little off topic, but Greg did mention how he wanted ideas to make the Cutline better. My suggestion has to deal with the number of cuts themselves. For a contest called 'Cutline...

This should be fixed now and all stats for yesterday have been re-run. If there are any issues please let us know. Thanks and our apologies again for the delay with this. The League Standings and the Team Stats all look corrected/updated. But the Overall Standings pages don't appear to have been re...

Just a heads up that we topped 1,000 teams this weekend, but could fall a little short of our goals. Last year we finished with 1,500 teams in the Online Championship, so we have a ways to go yet. This is the one contest that could provide even better ROI for the players than we expected. We sure h...

TEN spots left for Friday night's Express NFBC $150 Draft Champions Express League All 50 Rounds In One Night; 1 Minute Per Pick Friday, March 13 8 pm ET 1. John Dadurian, Concord, Massachusetts 2. Mead Loop, Ithaca, New York 3. Michael OBrien, Brighton, Colorado 4. RICHARD DIMONDO, New Rochelle, N...

I cant imagine he's available in any NFBC league... possible an OC league, but I doubt it. Would be curious why he would not have been drafted, at least by the 25th round. Maybe I am wrong. Not sure how completely accurate the % owned is on the team pages, but from both my ME and one of my OC lineu...

I know the stats from the Pirates/Reds game from yesterday that was suspended, and just completed today, are not in our team stats/standings until the stats run tonight. But, will they not appear on the live scoring either? So the live scoring is going to be inaccurate all day for any team that had ...

Last year when this offer was in place for the NFBC, team owners were able to cash in their insurance policies for the following players: Matt Kemp Jose Reyes Roy Halladay Johnny Cueto Josh Johnson Jason Motte Greg, just emailed you my list. You forgot a name on the list from last year. I cashed in...

Crickets...bump.
Maybe now that the Friday and Sunday Primetimes have been shut off or filled this one can gain some traction? According to Countdown, it looks like 2 extra online to supplement the 4 in Vegas. Only 6 more spots to fill!

Come on, there must be some players doing a Main Event in the morning that want to do a Primetime at 4pm in Vegas (or online) isn't there? How can there only be 4 signed up for this draft? Let's fill this up! There must be some guys that want/need one last chance at the $100,000. Here's the 4 so far...

This is the last available First Weekend Primetime Online and now there are ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT!! I know it's a goofy start time on Friday, but we're close to filling it now. Is the Sunday, March 23 9pm Primetime a dead stick now? I would have thought this would have been a hot time with the FBPC goi...

I'm signed up for a Primetime at the same time, but thats been stuck on only 3 signups. If that doesnt fill I would do this Super instead

I have interest, but not at 1pm ET. I was signed up for the 8pm ET FBPC draft, and therefore have that time open. If you offer a Primetime at that time, you can sign me up. But I'll be golfing at 1pm ET. I would much rather give my $ to you guys anyway, I was just trying to take advantage of that g...

ya- no problem. you pick braun first and if he goes down for 50-100 games you have schafer. sleep well. better idea- take the insurance and collect some $.

Nobody is double listed under the ADP data. Players only listed at their primary position. Butler is only listed as DH, Trumbo only in OF, Posey only at C, etc...

Thanks Greg and Tom for having me on. That was fun actually. Tough having to follow up the great Lindy Hinkleman as a guest, though. Hopefully I do good enough this year to maybe get on the show again. Can't wait to see you guys in Vegas in a little over 6 weeks. Something I meant to ask while I was...

As far as Braun goes, I love the guy and DON'T Think he cheated. I just don't think all the guys voting feel the same way and I think some will hold this against him for awhile or always. Posey won by a lot, so who cares. Deserving. Ya, a distant 2nd for Braun. I had no delusions of him actually wi...

Its gonna be Miggy because of the Triple Crown! What a year for both guys! Posey in the National League! If it weren't for Braun's mishap in the lab last year, I would say Braun Back To Back! Now that's a statement i don't get/can't agree with. Braun's lab issue shouldn't effect anything. He actual...

Thanks Greg, and 76ersfan. That was a fun baseball season, but I am sure glad its over. It was so tough finishing 3rd overall last year in the OC, I didn't want the season to end, but this year it couldn't end fast enough. Looking forward to Vegas in March/April '13. And GO PACK!

I posted this in the main event structure ... applying the same here: Playing around with the percentages for what feels and looks right, I come up with: * pay 50% of the available pool to the overall winner * pay 40% to the rest of the top 5 * pay 10% to the rest of the top 10 How would this play ...

Nice post Mike and nice progression in the NFBC. Best of luck in the Main Event and in the Online Championship. That's the way to go, for sure!!! And to hear that you're a transplant from Wisconsin and still a Packers' fan is even better. I was at Lambeau Field on that dark, dark day against the Gi...

I am not exactly a NFBC newbie, but am new to posting on these boards, and this will be my first year in the Main Event. I first started in the NFBC in 2009, with the inaugural year of the Online Championship, owning just the one team in that event. I enjoyed that experience, and I have upped my num...
