SOLD OUT: Thursday, 9 pm ET Best Ball Double Up League

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:35 am

Okay, here we are on April 16th with all of our online national contests finished. We finished with sellouts for the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship, the NFBC Cutline Championship and the NFBC Online Auction Championship. And even the Rotowire Online Championship came within seven leagues of a sellout. Great job everyone.

Now we sit and wait for the country to get healthier and Major League Baseball to return. So, what do we do now?

Well, we know that everyone has their fill of FAAB leagues, but would still like to draft from time to time. We know that, so we decided to sit down and come up with a new league format that would have some appeal.

In fact, we'll give credit where credit is due as this idea came from Dusty Wagner and he passed it onto Darik. I liked the idea right away as it seems simple to draft, easy to run during the season, and even easy to win some money. Out of all of this came:

The NFBC $100 Best Ball Double Up League!!

Here's the concept:

12 Team Leagues
50 Round Drafts
$100 Entry Fee
No FAAB at all
Best Ball Scoring for the entire regular season
Top 5 teams double their money ($200 each)

So there you go. 12 team drafts, 50 rounds, Best Ball scoring using our Cutline scoring system, and if you finish in the Top 5 you double your money for a $200 payday.

Here's the Contest Rules:
https://nfc.shgn.com/rules/654

We will offer 2-Hour and 4-Hour drafts now and will schedule nightly drafts once we get closer to the new Opening Day. If there's demand for a nightly draft in the near future, let us know and we'll schedule one.

Okay, enjoy drafting in this easy format and good luck. Hopefully baseball will be returning soon and with a robust schedule.

Here's the current signup lists:

NFBC $100 Double Up League 11
Thursday, July 23, 9 pm ET
Top 5 Teams Win $200
