NFBC Post-Season Contest: 286 Teams

[Greg Ambrosius]

190% payout right now, good investment.

190% payout, Greg get ass chewed and more...

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, we now have over 200 teams. I think we can get to the break-even mark before tomorrow night's AL Wild Card Game. Let's move forward and fill this up. ROI could be good for all of you. I'm feeling good about the interest right now. Thanks all.

Don't be left out of the MLB playoff run without a team. I guarantee you'll like the format and the setup. Enjoy all and pick the right players from the right teams. Should be fun.

If the fee were $1 per roster change before the first game, I already got my money's worth.



You know you will lose two players after the wild card games. Is it better to lose a pitcher or a batter?

That's all part of the strategy. I'm sure there are a lot of different opinions on this. Have at it everyone.

Now 218 teams locked and loaded before tonight's first game. As KJ said, it looks like the ROI is going to be in your favor. Grab another team or grab a friend to help us get close to break even and let's make this debut event a fun one that will be around for years to come. And get used to the points-style scoring format because this is what we'll use for the debut NFBC Cutline Championship this year. That should be fun as well.

Here we go. Rosters lock around 7 pm ET, so don't delay if you still want a team. More than $46,000 in prizes available over the next month during what should be a wild and crazy MLB post-season. Enjoy all and thanks.

C'mon, don't stop on the signups for the NFBC Post-Season Contest. There's still plenty of time to add another team or to jump in. We need your support on this one, so let's keep it going. Thanks all.

You have until 8 pm ET to lock in your teams and get those rosters set. Round 1 locks at 8 pm ET tonight, so let's do this. C'mon, plenty of spots left and plenty of prize money to win.

One very important question....

What is the difference between "Stephen John Jupinka" and "Stephen Jupinka"? And which name does the wife use when deep in the dog house?

[Greg Ambrosius]

NOW AT 240 TEAMS and counting. Still time to get a team in this contest, which is awarding almost $47,000 in prize money and $25,000 for first place. Come join this debut contest that features a unique progressive scoring system. This is going to be a staple of the NFBC for years to come, but let's get it off the ground first!! Thanks all.

Registration ends at 8 pm ET tonight, so don't delay if you want to secure a team in this year's contest. It only takes a couple of minutes to pick your roster. The key is deciding which players from which team to put on your roster for Round 1. You MUST have one player from each of the 10 playoff teams and no more than 3 players from any single team. Who do you choose to take you to the World Series, when points are tripled for those three teams you rode in Round 1? That's the key.

[Greg Ambrosius]

ESPN's Jayson Stark polled 20 MLB executives and 18 picked the Toronto Blue Jays to reach the World Series. Do you agree?

Do you load up on the right Blue Jays in this contest or go contrarian? Royals anyone? Either of the slumping Wild Card teams? Hmmm, should be a lot of decisions here. Good luck all setting your Post-Season rosters.

Oh, and still plenty of spots left!!! C'mon, less than five hours to grab teams in a contest that will likely pay over 100%. Take advantage of the fun and the great ROI.

[Greg Ambrosius]

TWO HOURS LEFT to secure an NFBC Post-Season Contest team!! Last chance to win $25,000 in a contest that will pay over 100%. Yikes, that hurts.

No turning back. We're committed to this contest and the prize payout. Step up and secure your team now. Good luck all and enjoy this debut contest. We're making money on this next year!!

[Rainiers]

Ok, I just added another team....too many choices in creating a roster I like.

Just a quick question on players with multiple position eligibility. Can you play them in Round 1 at one position and move them to another position in Round 2 and keep their 2X multiplier point scores going?

Yes.

Thanks Robert. Good luck all as we're nearing the end, short of goals, but should still be a fun contest.

It only takes a couple of minutes to pick your roster. The key is deciding which players from which team to put on your roster for Round 1.

Yeah. Sure. A couple minutes. I just spent all afternoon setting my 5 teams. This is as bad as a Sunday afternoon doing waivers. I'm hooked.

Enablers.

P.S. Great system. Very user friendly. Looking forward to sucking at this as well for years to come.

I'm still at work... Is the deadline 6 pm cst or 7pm cst to get signed up and set my team?

[Tom Kessenich]

The deadline is 5 minutes before the scheduled start of the first game tonight. So 7:55 pm ET.

[Tom Kessenich]

Less than ONE hour to go. Who else wants to win $25,000? Still time to sign up and get in on the fun.

[Tom Kessenich]

Registration for the contest is now closed. Good luck to the 287 teams competing for the $25,000 grand prize.

[marknym]

Thanks for running this guys. I got into it and ended up putting in 4 squads. Should be fun.

[Motorboat Jones]

Very fun and exciting format ! Looking forward to it !
When will percentages be visible for players selected ?

[Red Sox Nation-]

I can't access these teams. I click on them but nothing happens. Perhaps we are locked out from when the lineups were locked? Thanks

[Philly High Hopes]

Same thing is happening for me.

[KJ Duke]

Clicking on your team link just takes you back to your team list page, but if you copy a link from your browser history you can actually see your team. Not sure why but it works.

[Doctor Who]

I wish I wasn't on iPad and could do that KJ.

[Tom Kessenich]

Tech is looking at the redirect issue. We'll hopefully get that fixed soon. Sorry for the issue here.

[KJ Duke]

Next biggest problem is that we can't see who anyone else ... leaderboard needs to be clickable to see who was who.
