SOLD OUT: Wednesday 8 pm ET $200 Guillotine League

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Feb 15, 2022 1:44 pm

We are always looking at new ways to entice our players to compete in fantasy baseball leagues. What started as a unique 15-Team national contest in the NFBC Main Event in 2004 has evolved to include Auctions, Draft Champions, Cutline, Online Championship, private high-dollar leagues and more.

In 2020 we introduced a new format called the NFBC Guillotine Leagues and unfortunately because of Covid-19 we were unable to complete these leagues. But we debuted this contest in 2021 and it was a big hit. So, welcome to

The NFBC GUILLOTINE LEAGUES.

Here it is: We are going to offer these as 2-hour and 4-hour drafts to start out and will offer nightly drafts in March. We are starting out with $100 and $200 price points, but we can offer higher price points if there's demand. Just let us know.

Okay, here's the concept:

NFBC Guillotine Leagues
Cost:
Private leagues at $100 and $200 per team (can add $400 price point)
Teams: 15 Teams Per League
Players Per Team: 34
Prizes: Pay Top 3: ($200 league) = 1st Place $1,400; 2nd Place - $700; 3rd Place - $400 (double prizes for $400 entry)

These are private leagues with only league prizes.

Every two weeks the lowest scoring team in the league is ELIMINATED from the competition. That's right, after the first scoring period the lowest scoring team in the league is eliminated and ALL OF THEIR PLAYERS GO BACK INTO THE FREE AGENT POOL.

That team was chopped in the Guillotine!!

That's right, all 34 players from that lowest scoring team in the first scoring period will be placed back into the league's free agent pool and only 14 teams will remain in the competition. The league scores reset to zero to start the new scoring period as each period is its own contest. In scoring period 2, the lowest scoring team just for that period will be eliminated and ALL OF THEIR PLAYERS GO BACK INTO THE FREE AGENT POOL. That will leave us with 13 teams and this continues through the end of August until only four teams are left. Every period is a new scoring period, so total points are NOT accumulated in this contest. Each scoring period one team will be chopped in the guillotine.

Now, this sounds like a lot of work, even though FAAB is every other week, because 34 pretty good players are being added to the FAAB pool. Trying to balance how to spend that $1,000 of FAAB wisely will be your toughest task. But the best thing about this format is that you never have to set a starting lineup as we'll use optimal scoring for the Guillotine league, using Cutline scoring. So yes, you do have FAAB work about every two weeks, but then you just sit back and watch your team score at will and stay out of last place for that scoring period. It's as easy as that.

The four remaining teams after the Sept. 6th scoring period will compete over a two week period for the prize money. The Championship Round starts from scratch and totals points between those four teams over the last two weeks. In the $200 league, First Place earns $1,400, Second Place earns $700 and Third Place earns $400. Just double the prizes for the $400 leagues: $2,800, $1,400, $800.

Here's the scoring periods as some weeks have three sets of scores due to the short start week of Opening Day and the All-Star break:

The Guillotine regular season will consist of 11 scoring Periods with one team being ELIMINATED each period for having the lowest score. Period 1 and Period 8 will consist of three scoring weeks, while every other Period will consist of two full weeks. Scores for each week will be added together to determine the final Period standings. Four teams will survive and advance to the Championship Round, which consists of two weeks with the Top 3 teams earning prize money. Here’s the scoring periods:
