NFBC Message Boards

The NFBC Primetime has been replaced this year by the Rotowire Online Championship Plus. If you are looking for the best league payouts with a shot at a great overall prize pool, then this is the contest for you.

The grand prize for the Online Championship has grown from $75,000 in 2015 to $100,000 this year because we are combining online leagues with a live component. This is the first time we've been able to offer live drafts for $750. You can now draft live in Las Vegas or New York for $750 in the Online Championship Plus and battle for a $4,000 league prize and a $100,000 grand prize. If you want an even better league prize, you can compete in the $1,500 Online Championship Plus and earn a league prize of $9,000 and compete for the $100,000 grand prize.

We have a lot of different offerings both live and online for this format. These are 12-team, 30-round drafts with FAAB throughout the season. Each league pays the same amount to the overall prize pool, no matter if it's a $350, $750 or $1,500 league. The league prizes grow the higher the entry fee is, but everyone still competes for the overall prizes, which include that $100,000 grand prize. Pretty cool.

Because we have so many different offerings in this format, I'm going to create a separate Signup List for the live and online versions of the Rotowire Online Championship Plus Leagues. I think we're going to fill a lot of these closer to the live drafts, but these should be a big hit. If you really like a big league prize and you like the 12-team format, then this contest is for you. Enjoy all and good luck.

If it's not listed here that means nobody has signed up for it yet, as you can see on the Countdown page:

Are you confident enough that the first will fill that I should just sign up for it? I don't want to get shut out of both leagues.. that's my concern. Let me know what I should do! Also, can I pay by check? It doesn't give that option when signing up.

SOLD OUT: We just Sold Out the Sunday, April 3rd 1 pm ET $750 Online Championship Plus League tonight. Please set your KDS preferences by tomorrow at 8 am ET and look for draft spots shortly after that. Thanks all and good luck.
