SOLD OUT: NFBC $1,000 4-Hour Draft Champions 4

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Dec 28, 2021 1:18 pm

The NFBC Draft Champions National Championship has one national contest that features a $30,000 grand prize, but we have multiple ways you can win that grand prize. We actually have entry points at $150 per team, $400, $1,000 and $2,500. Each has different league prizes, but each team is eligible for the overall prize pool.

The $1,000 Draft Champions League features an $8,000 league prize and we'll pay $3,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place. Oh, and you are still eligible for the $30,000 grand prize. We've created a 4-Hour DC League that will start 30 minutes after it fills and we'll host another $1,000 DC League in mid-February when Pitchers & Catchers are expected to report to spring training. Look for that start date on Registration as well.

Last year, we set a record with 4,545 teams as Thomas Olownia bested everyone for the $30,000 grand prize. Thomas became our 11th different DC national champion since this contest was started in 2011.

So let's do it again and see if there's a 12th different champion waiting to take the crown in 2022 or if we'll have our first two-time champion.

The Draft Champions is a favorite contest of so many players because there is no FAAB involved. These are 15-team, 50-round drafts with no FAAB. What you draft is what you get for the season. Your job after Draft Day is to set the right starting lineup every week for 27 weeks. You manage the 50-man roster you drafted with no trades and no free agent pickups. Sound fun?

We are shooting for just under 300 leagues this year and are guaranteeing the $30,000 grand prize while paying the Top 40 teams overall. The Top 3 teams in each league will also earn prize money.

We have price ranges of $150 per team, $400 per team, $1,000 per team and $2,500 per team. We added the $2,500 price level last year and filled two of those leagues. The league prizes are different for each price point, but each league pays exactly the same amount to the overall prize pool, so everyone is eligible to compete for the $30,000 grand prize and the overall prizes from each of the different price points. Live Scoring and Live Standings will include teams from every price point as they battle for thousands of points in each of the 10 scoring categories.

We also offer two forms of drafts: Express leagues and slower drafts. The Express Leagues start and finish in one night at 1 minute per pick. They usually take around 4 hours to complete all 50 rounds. The slower formats allow 30 minutes per pick, 1 hour per pick, 2 hours per pick and 4 hours per pick. The clock will be cut in half for the 2 hour and 4 hour drafts starting in Round 31 and these can get done anywhere from 7 to 17 days. Our goal is to get through 3-4 rounds per day no matter the format. The clock will pause between 2 am ET and 8 am ET, but owners can still make picks during the pause. The software has multi-round auto-pick features and multiple round queues to help you keep the drafts rolling even if you aren't near a computer. Use those tools if you can.

Also, KDS runs 15 minutes after the league sells out and the draft starts 30 minutes after the league sells out. Always set your KDS preferences in advance and be ready to draft once the league is full.

Re: 9 Spots Left: NFBC $1,000 4-Hour Draft Champions

We always start an NFBC $1,000 Draft Champions League on the first day that pitchers and catchers report, and that league was called the Max Hogan Invitational for many years!!! I'm not sure if Max is coming back to that one again, but we added it today for Monday, February 21st, starting at 1 pm ET. That's a safer start date than Feb. 14th, so jump on in if you like the format and the camaraderie.

Re: 13 Spots Left: NFBC $1,000 February 21st Draft Champions

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Fri Feb 11, 2022 10:20 am

We already have sold out a record three NFBC $1,000 Draft Champions leagues this year, but we have at least one more that hopefully will fill. We always start an NFBC $1,000 4-Hour Draft Champions League on the day that Pitchers & Catchers report to spring training, so this year we set one up to start on Monday, February 21st at 1 pm ET.

We can't guarantee that Pitchers & Catchers will report to camp by then, but it's time to be optimistic and hope for the best. Let's fill it up and start this one then. Who's in for a battle for the $8,000 league prize and the $30,000 grand prize?

Here's the current signup list:

Re: 12 Spots Left: NFBC $1,000 4-Hour Draft Champions 4

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Mon Feb 21, 2022 1:18 pm

Okay, we already have three full NFBC $1,000 Draft Champions Leagues and we were hoping to start one more on the first day of spring training, which could have been today. But since that didn't happen -- and since we didn't fill this league up to start today -- we will change this last $1,000 DC to a 4-Hour DC and start it 30 minutes after it fills.

We've never had four $1,000 DCs before, so let's see if we have time to set a new record in the next week or so. NOW 12 SPOTS LEFT. Here's the current signup list for this last $1,000 DC of the season:
