NFBC Message Boards

Lindy Hinkelman proved it can be done, so let's expand our $75,000 cash bonus program by combining the efforts of everyone who competes in the Main Event and the NFBC XII. The goal here is to create an even bigger carrot for anyone who can dominate in the 15-team Main Event and the 12-team Main Event (called the NFBC XII). If you can win the overall title in both events, we'll reward you with an additional $75,000 cash bonus. Sound good?

This is extra incentive to win in the Main Event AND win in the NFBC XII. That would be $100,000 + $50,000 + $75,000 for a $225,000, not even counting the $9,600 league fees. Okay, let's count them: Total payday from two entries of $2,400 = $234,600. Now that sounds good.

We will still have a $75,000 cash bonus for "The Lindy" -- the Main Event and the Online Championship. Heck, we have to keep that forever since Lindy proved it can be done. That one also rewards the double-double, but with the 12-teamer having more teams in it yet at an affordable $350 entry fee. We are shooting for 300 teams in the debut NFBC XII and 600 teams in the Online Championship.

Okay, this thread is going to be used to keep track of the owners who have entries in both Main Events, so that we know how many owners have a shot at the $75,000 cash bonus. We'll update how they are doing throughout the season, but let's get the contestant list compiled first. I'll update this list as they roll in. Thanks all.

If anyone thinks they can win the very, very tough Classic overall title, then they HAVE to take down the 12-team crown too, right? I mean that's only a 12-team league and only 300 teams. Easy stuff for a total of $225,000 compared to the 15-team Main Event.

We now have 30+ owners in line for the "Newest Lindy", a $75,000 cash bonus for anyone who wins both the Main Event and the NFBC XII overall titles. We've had a good weekend of signups and it's good to see a steady stream of interest for both of our Main Events. Now let's see if anyone can dominate both formats: The 15-team and 12-team format. Thanks all.

Greg, will there be a Combined Standings bonus for this combo similar to what is awarded for best Main Event/Online Championships finish?

I don't have anything budgeted for that at this point, but I'll look into it. Not a bad idea if we can make it work financially.

Okay, we've added six more teams this week to the two different Main Events and a shot at that $75,000 cash bonus. Not only are we getting good response for the Auction Championship Leagues this week, but the NFBC XII is also moving forward with our veterans who continue to support the Main Event. Awesome. Thanks all and let's see if someone can win the 15-team and the 12-team format overall titles.

Just a heads up that we have secured the $75,000 cash bonus for anyone who wins both the NFBC Main Event and the NFBC XII overall titles. That would be worth $225,000 with the new bonus!!! We'll create a new page with both of our $75,000 cash bonuses -- remember, "The Lindy" is still there for anyone who can win both the Main Event and the NFBC Online Championship overall titles -- very soon. Look for that page soon.

We now have 40 different owners with teams in both Main Events: The 15-team and 12-team NFBC XII. Les Travis grabbed a couple of first weekend spots in Las Vegas with us today and also jumped into the Auction Championship on Friday, March 23rd and the Super on March 25th. Should be a fun weekend in Las Vegas. See you there Les.

It's nice to have two more NFBC owners in for both Main Events and the shot at the $75,000 cash bonus. Welcome aboard Ronny Mor of San Diego, California and Michael Tott of Sioux City, South Dakota. Glad to have you guys in for both Main Events. That gives us 46 owners in both Mains. Best of luck guys in the hunt for the $150,000 in grand prizes.

Nice to see Clark Olson and Erroll Thompson added to the list today. Let's keep this list growing and get someone to win both overall titles for $225,000!!! That would be SWEEEEEEEET.

We're now at 50 owners who are in line for the $75,000 cash bonus for winning the Main Event and the NFBC XII overall titles. Michael Edelman of Elmwood Park, New Jersey, is an NFBC Charter Member who is taking the two-pack in Mahwah and New York City. Thanks a lot Michael and best of luck in the hunt for all of those league titles and the $225,000 in available grand prizes.

We're glad to welcome David Shovein, Scott Newman and Joe Martino to the NFBC Main Event Doubleheader, bringing us to 53 owners doing both events. All of these guys have a shot at $150,000 in grand prizes and the $75,000 cash bonus should anyone win both grand prizes. That would be a nice $225,000 payday. Thanks all and good luck.

Welcome to the Main Event doubleheader Will Tyrer and Bob Mazur. LOVE IT!!! Thanks guys.

We've added 6 more owners to the Main Event doubleheader list in the last two days, giving us 61 owners doing both Mains right now. Let's welcome our latest entrants:

Chad Schroeder with two Mains and four NFBC XII's
Seth Poppel
Phillip McDonald
Tom Zarogiannos
Jeff Dobies

Thanks all.

It was good to add 4 more owners to the Main Event Doubleheader this weekend:

Jace Reed
Scott Fleming
Johnny Galvis
Larry Schechter

Thanks all and best of luck to everyone in the hunt for the $150,000 in grand prizes and the $75,000 cash bonus. That would be a NICE $225,000 payday.

We now have 69 owners doing both Main Events as we slowly increase the NFBC XII numbers each day. Let's keep pushing here because our 12-team Main Event is going to be a staple of Draft Weekend from here on out. Thanks to these 4 owners who grabbed NFBC XII's to go with their Main Events recently and now have a shot at a possible $225,000 payday:

Scott Vetter
Scott Shudy
George Kleemann
Laurence Edelman

Okay, we added 4 more teams to the Main Event doubleheader, bringing us to 73 owners doing both events for a shot at the $150,000 in grand prizes and the $75,000 cash bonus. Let's keep pushing here and get someone to win $225,000!! Here's the latest signups to the Main Event Doubleheader:

Dave Potts
Jim Nicola
Duke Viveros
Matthew Snoga

We added four more teams this week to both ends of the Main Event doubleheader, bringing our total to 77 teams who have a shot at the $75,000 cash bonus. Great job all!!

74. Stephen Fiore
75. Shane Schroeder
76. Rob Zamojski
77. Kristopher Carroll

Now 86 owners with entries in both Main Events and a shot at $225,000 in prize money. Hey, it's possible that someone could win both Main Events. I hope someone does it this year. Keep the signups coming all and thanks.

NOW LESS THAN 100 GUARANTEED SPOTS FOR THE MAIN EVENT AND LESS THAN 185 SPOTS LEFT FOR THE NFBC XII. I like it!!

Now 91 owners in both ends of the NFBC Main Event doubleheader as Shawn Childs and Jeff Butler grabbed spots today. Awesome job all. Let's keep it going as it's very possible to win both grand prizes and a total of $225,000!!! Let's see if it can happen this year.

It's great to have added Joe Berg, Pat DePirro, Marty Bedell and David Zwickel to this list today. We now have 94 owners who have a shot at winning not only the $150,000 in grand prizes for both Main Events, but also this $75,000 cash bonus. If you're in the Main Event, you may want to consider an NFBC XII team. Your odds of winning this cash bonus might never be better.

Thanks guys for supporting us today. Let's keep moving forward with the NFBC XII and make this an annual doubleheader for years to come.

We added NFBC veterans Rob Silver and Ken Norred to the NFBC XII today as both guys want a shot at the $150,000 in grand prizes and the $75,000 cash bonus. That puts us one away from 100 owners with teams in both ends of the Main Event doubleheader and closer to 150 NFBC XII teams overall. Let's keep this momentum going and fill this debut event up. Good job all.

NOW MORE THAN 100 OWNERS IN BOTH MAIN EVENTS!!! Great job all and thanks for supporting both events. One of you could win $225,000+ with the PERFECT year. Just ask Lindy Hinkelman if it's possible. IT IS!!

Look at this: We now have 106 owners signed up for BOTH Main Event leagues, giving each of them a shot at our $75,000 cash bonus. I like it. We wanted to create two great Main Event offerings for folks this year and I really believe our 15-team and 12-team format will be a part of all NFBC offerings going forward. It's great to see so many NFBC owners embracing this concept and going for this $50,000 grand prize along with our Classic $100,000 grand prize. Thanks all.

If you're in the Main Event and don't have an NFBC XII team yet, check out the offerings. The payout for this contest may end up being the best of the season and you definitely don't want to miss out on this $75,000 cash bonus if you're going to win the $100,000 grand prize. You are planning on winning the $100,000 grand prize, aren't you? Then jump into an NFBC XII too!! Thanks all.

It appears that you're actually at 107 Greg. Looks like you missed that I grabbed a second XII while you and Shawn were dominating the LABR drafts.
