We haven't started the drafting season yet for this contest, but we already have 200+ signups for the Rotowire Online Championship. The fact that we sold out 3 leagues for this week -- the earliest scheduled Online Championship leagues in our history -- was a good sign. But the fact that we already have 200+ teams entered by Feb. 17th is a REALLY GOOD SIGN!!
Last year we finished with 864 teams and the GUARANTEED $50,000 grand prize is based on only 780 teams. It looks like this grand prize has a good shot at growing as well. Remember, last year we had a $60,000 grand prize, but we did increase the league prizes slightly as well. Still, I think we're on pace to grow this grand prize above what we paid out last year. We'll see if that happens, but so far so good.
Okay, check out the schedule for this contest because with Rotowire's promotional help this contest could BLOW OUT!! In football, we finished with 1,872 teams!!! This $350 price point for a national contest is a comfortable one for a lot of folks and I think we are headed for a record season here. Thanks all and continued good luck on all of your leagues.
It's our 10th anniversary season in the NFBC!!! And it's going to be a record-setting one!!
