We are offering just one Bonus Prize in 2016, that combining the NFBC Main Event and the Rotowire Online Championship. Anyone who can win the overall titles in those two contests in 2016 will win $225,000 in prizes and an additional $75,000 cash bonus for a total of $300,000+ in prize money. WOW.

Now I know it's going to be tough to do that this year because we are expecting 450 teams in the Main Event and 1,800 teams in the Online Championship, but last year Chad Schroeder did it against 204 teams in the Primetime and 1,500 teams in the Online Championship. Chad took home the $75,000 cash bonus and had the money shortly after the season as he won over $300,000 last year. And of course this bonus is called "The Lindy" because Lindy Hinkelman did it the first year we offered this cash bonus in 2009, winning the Main Event and the Online Championship. So twice in six years isn't bad.

Can anyone take down the $75,000 cash bonus this year? The only way you can do it is by entering both contests. Let's see who is the best of the 15-team format and the best of the 12-team format. If you win both contests, the big prize awaits you. Good luck all.

NFBC Bonuses
NFBC Main Event / Online Championship Bonus
$75,000

The NFBC will offer a $75,000 cash bonus to any owner who can win the overall titles in both the NFBC Main Event and the Rotowire Online Championship. This cash bonus is called "The Lindy" because Lindy Hinkelman of Greencreek, Idaho actually won this bonus the very first year it was offered (2009). To win this $75,000 cash bonus, an NFBC owner has to win the NFBC Main Event overall title AND the Online Championship overall title. If someone pulls off that feat, the total prize winnings will be $300,000. Only those owners entered in both events -- and one owner can have multiple teams in each event -- have a shot at this $75,000 cash bonus.

Last year Chad Schroeder of Omaha, Nebraska also defied the odds and won the $75,000 cash bonus by winning the NFBC Primetime and the Rotowire Online Championship overall titles. Chad took home the $80,000 grand prize in each contest and the $75,000 cash bonus enroute to $305,000 in winnings last year. The two contests had 1,704 participants between them. See, it can be done.

Just a reminder to everyone doing the NFBC Main Event this year that we have "The Lindy" $75,000 cash bonus if you also do the Rotowire Online Championship League. Anyone who can beat 449 other teams in the Main Event for the $125,000 grand prize who can also win the Online Championship's $100,000 grand prize will win an additional $75,000. That's a total of $300,000 in grand prizes to go with likely $7,500+ in league prizes, so quite a payday indeed.

Lindy Hinkelman accomplished this in 2009 and Chad Schroeder did it last year in the NFBC Primetime and Online Championship. Chad won over $300,000 last year and it took some negotiating to get the insurance company to re-up with this policy. They said we had paid this off twice in the last six years, which seemed like the odds weren't in their favor. But after some fact finding, they saw how tough it is and came back with the policy. We're now insured for 2016, so we're rooting for someone to do it!! Good luck all.

Again, this includes the Main Event-Online Championship combo, which obviously includes the $350, $750 and $1,500 price points in the latter contest. Let's do this.

Just a reminder that anyone who is in the NFBC Main Event should really look into getting into at least one Rotowire Online Championship League because we have a $75,000 cash bonus if you win both overall titles. I know, I know, it's not going to be easy with 1,500+ teams in the Online Championship and up to 450 teams in the Main Event. But it's been done TWICE already in the NFBC, so why not again?

Lindy Hinkelman won the $75,000 cash bonus in 2009 for winning the Main Event and the debut Online Championship, while Chad Schroeder did it last year in the NFBC Primetime and Online Championship. Why not one more time?

Spots are filling up fast in both events, so don't delay. Thanks all and let's give away $300,000+ to someone this year in both contests!! How cool would that be?
