Well, this certainly is good news!!!

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!!

Just a heads up that we are now closing in on 300 teams for the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship with many leagues already selling out. We'll keep adding more draft times if demand exceeds expectations, so no worries there. Thanks for all the support everyone.

Last year we finished with 864 teams and a $60,000 grand prize. It wouldn't surprise us if we top those numbers this year. Let's keep this contest rolling and let's keep filling up leagues in February. This is definitely the earliest that we've sold out Online Championship leagues since we started this $350 format 5 years ago. And the demand will likely continue through March 30th. Thanks all.

We topped 300 teams last night in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship. I think we're going to top last year's 864 teams even though Opening Day is now on Easter Sunday rather than Wednesday like past years. We'll finish strong and it's already been a strong start. Thanks everyone.

Great job on this week's Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship Leagues this week as we sold out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. We have a couple of drafts to fill on Saturday, but it's been another great week for this contest.

We now have OVER 360 TEAMS signed up for this contest. I think this contest also has a shot at the grand prize rising above $50,000. Thanks all and good luck.

WE'RE NOW AT 400 TEAMS FOR THE ROTOWIRE FANTASY BASEBALL ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

This is a nice start for March 2nd. Leagues are filling up every day even if we have to fill them on the day of the drafts. These are great impulse buys and the grand prize of $50,000 will pay off some nice impulse bills!! Let's keep things rolling over these last 4 weeks. Thanks all.

Just a heads up that we are now nearing 500 teams in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship League and leagues are starting to sell out for late March. We also seem to sell out each league as they near, some on the day of the draft. We have a few for this weekend that have openings, so check out the Schedule of Events and enjoy playing for $50,000. Thanks all and this has the potential to be another record-setting event.

Okay, now that the Draft Champions Leagues are closed out, it's time to turn our attention to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship and that $50,000 grand prize. We went over 500 signups last night and several late March leagues are sold out. We'll keep those late dates open and run multiple leagues at once if needed. Keep an eye on this contest because it's the next one to surprise us with incredible numbers. Thanks all.

We had 30+ signups for the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship yesterday alone as folks are turning their attention to this contest now that the Draft Champions format is closed for the season. Again, please take a look at the signup list when you have time because once these early drafts fill we'll close them off. We have plenty of options later in the month, but for these next two weeks we'll probably fill leagues on those dates and then close them out. The demand is the highest it's ever been for this $350 price point and a record year is in the works. Enjoy all and thanks for the continued interest here.

All aboard the Rotowire train!!!!

We topped 600 total teams this year in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship with room for more!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! Let's keep this contest rolling and keep filling up leagues each day. Thanks all.

We closed out at least 4 Rotowire Online Championship Leagues yesterday as we had 30+ signups in one day. Keep an eye on some of these dates and times because they are selling out quickly. Thanks all and jump in soon if you want a shot at this $50,000 grand prize. Demand is definitely picking up for this $350 format. In fact, it's RED HOT!!!

630+ and counting....

We should top 700 teams in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship today. Gotta love it!! Keep 'em coming and let's keep filling up leagues in this great $350 format. Thanks all.

It didn't take long to get to the 700 team mark in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship!! Wow, great day today everyone. Now we fill up all of the leagues set for the last two weeks of the season and call it another great year in this $350 market. Great job everyone.

Okay, keep 'em coming folks. Thanks.

Filling two leagues tonight pushed us near 750 teams for the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! It's been a crazy week for this contest and I trust the last 14 days of this event will be very similar to today. Keep up the good work all.

We now have 800+ teams in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship!!! We finished with 864 teams last year and that number should be topped this year. Great job everyone. This is definitely going to be a record year for this contest. Thanks and good luck everyone.

We have leagues every day available from March 21st through March 31st. Sign up now while spots are still available. Thanks all.

WOW!! What happened when I wasn't looking?

We will likely hit the 1,000 team mark in the next day for the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship. That's pretty amazing everyone. We don't have time to stop right now as demand is exceeding expectations, but it's all good. THANKS EVERYONE.

Tonight's drafts are full. We now have only:
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday

Check this link for availability and times. Thanks.

We set a new record in the NFBC Online Championship yesterday as we topped 1,000 teams!!! VERY PROUD!!

We still have 4+ days to go, so now is no time to rest on our accomplishments. Just realize that there will be more money in the overall prize pool and a larger grand prize for everyone. We never expected this type of demand when we set up the contest because of Easter weekend being on the final weekend of drafting. Not only that, but the MLB season is starting three days earlier this year with Opening Day on a Sunday night, not Wednesday night. Put those two factors together and we just didn't expect to top last year's 864 teams.

But we thank Rotowire for the partnership to promote this and there's no doubt that the STATS Fantasy Advantage show on SiriusXM is bringing in a lot of new customers at this price level. Everything is working well this year to vault this contest to the top of our online offerings. Thanks everyone.

Enjoy and enjoy the extra winnings. Good luck everyone.

THE ROTOWIRE FANTASY BASEBALL ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP JUST TOPPED 1,100 TEAMS!!

It's a new record for this contest. We have a few openings left for tomorrow's leagues. Jump in now or forever hold your peace!! This marriage is headed down the aisle tomorrow!!

Thanks all for your great support and look for an increased overall prize pool shortly. We aren't keeping this extra money; it's yours!! Everyone here has earned it and we're giving it back to you at the same payout percentages. Thanks all and good luck to everyone.
