Win A FREE 2021 Main Event Entry In $125 Qualifier
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:22 am
We are happy to welcome back the NFBC Main Event Qualifiers for 2020!!
One of the things that we did very well last year was create affordable contests that would allow folks to compete for a seat in the Main Event. We did it two ways: 1) With a $125 Main Event Qualifier Satellite League, where one owner took home the league prize of a FREE 2020 NFBC Main Event entry. We did this at the beginning of the season and at the All-Star Break. And 2) In a weekly $50/50 Teams NFBC/Fanball Contest, again with the top prize being a FREE 2020 NFBC Main Event entry.
The two formats combined gave away 30 FREE Main Event entries. Think about that: 30 Main Event entries that cost the winners either $125 or $50.
And thinking about it another way, that's 30 people -- some of them who have never competed in the NFBC Main Event before -- with an entry right away in this year's contest. It explains why we are pushing ahead of last year's pace not only for that contest but other contests as well. This was a great format and we are returning both of them again this year.
Let's start with the NFBC Main Event $125 Qualifier, which is basically a 15-team $125 Satellite with a Winner-Take-All prize format. This one is scheduled throughout the off-season and rewards one owner a FREE 2021 Main Event entry that could net $150,000 next year. We have nightly drafts scheduled and this year we will even add 4-Hour drafts that will get done in 10 days or so (only 30 rounds). Here's the contest link to this one:

And we'll bring back the All-Star Break Main Event Qualifier, which is the same format but with drafts being held during the All-Star Break and featuring stats from that point on.
The other format -- the NFBC/Fanball $50/50 Teams Contest -- will again return on Friday nights this year and we'll start these much earlier this year. Look for these in early April once the live drafts are done. We ran 12 of these weekly contests last year and found out that the Friday night contest was much more popular than Tuesday nights, so look for these on Fridays again. Let's get 20 or more winners this year.
We'll create another thread for the Rotowire Online Championship Qualifier as well, but that one will return this year as well. This is a $50 Rotowire OC Qualifier Satellite League and will be nightly drafts at 1 minute per pick, but 12 teams and 30 rounds with FAAB. These won't be moderated, so make your picks wisely and don't make a mistake.
First place will win $50 and a FREE 2021 Rotowire Online Championship entry. Second place will earn $100 and third place will earn $50. Here's the contest link for this one:

These leagues will be nightly drafts at 9 ET and we know they will be a big hit again, while providing a lot of our owners with a shot at winning the $125,000 grand prize in the Online Championship the following year. Love it.
Thanks all. Let's have MORE drafts every night on the site and get more teams locked into next year's big-money contests earlier.
Good luck everyone and enjoy.
