We've had four owners win FREE NFBC 2020 Main Event entries so far. They include:

Week 1 - Todd Schoenfeld
Week 2 - Phillipe Dussault
Week 3 - Colin Weatherwax
Week 4 - Adam Warner

Just a reminder that we pay the Top 3 finishers in this 50-team contest. Payouts are as follows:

1st Place - 2020 NFBC Main Event Entry Plus $50
2nd Place - $300
3rd Place - $100

There's a max of three teams per owner. Here's the rules for this contest again:

Roster Requirements
Rosters will consist of 9 players and must include players from at least 2 different MLB teams from at least 2 different MLB games. In addition, no more than 5 players from one team are permitted on rosters.

The 9 Roster positions are:

P (SP/RP)
C
1B
2B
3B
SS
OF (LF/CF/RF)
OF (LF/CF/RF)
UTIL (C/1B/DH/2B/3B/SS/LF/CF/RF)

Rules
In Fanball salary cap contests, entrants create a lineup by using players listed in the Player Pool to fill each defined roster requirement. All players have an assigned salary, and a valid roster will not have a salary cap that exceeds $55,000. In addition, the Player Pool will consist of all players expected to be on the active rosters for any team listed in the contest's event set.

Contest results will be determined by the total points accumulated by each individual lineup entry based on the scoring system detailed below.

Participants in each contest must adhere to Fanball's Master Terms of Service. Failure to comply with said terms will result in disqualification and, if applicable, prize forfeiture.

Scoring
Pitchers
Inning Pitched (IP) 1.5
Strikeout (K) 2
Win (W) 6
Quality Start (QS) 6
Complete Game (CG)* 2
Complete Game Shut Out (CGSO)* 4
No-Hitter (NH)* 8
Perfect Game (PG)* 10
*Bonus points for pitching (CG, CGSO, NH, PG) do not stack, meaning if a pitcher throws a perfect game, he only gets the 12 points even though a PG is also technically a CG, CGSO, and NH.

Hitters
Single (1B) 4
Double (2B) 8
Triple (3B) 10
Home run (HR) 12
Run Batted In (RBI) 4

Good luck all.
