Win $15,000 In The 2022 NFBC Post-Season Contest

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Sep 20, 2022 9:21 am

The NFBC Post-Season Hold 'em Contest returns for a fourth straight season after selling out the last three seasons. We are offering a $15,000 grand prize for this MLB post-season contest and basing prizes on 350 teams after hitting a record high of 405 teams in 2020. We'll pay out the Top 20 finishers this year, so let's sell this one out once again.

Cost of entry is $150 per team and you can have multiple teams. The one change for this contest that we added in 2019 and will use again this year is that we will lock lineups starting with the Divisional Round Series, NOT BEFORE the Wild Card games. MLB has expanded the playoffs this year to six teams per league and have made the Wild Card Round three game series, but we are NOT setting our lineups until the Wild Card series are done. This gives us a few more days for signups after the regular season concludes and still leaves us with four teams from each league to pick our Round 1 lineups. The Post-Season Contest will consist of three rounds of play: Divisional Round series, AL and NL Championship Round series and the World Series. Plan accordingly and the signup deadline will be before the first pitch of the first game in the Divisional Round series.

This will also allow players who won money during the NFBC season to use prize money to sign up for Post-Season Contest teams. We will get prize money on your accounts before the start of the Divisional Round games, so feel free to use that money if you'd like. If you know you are going to win prize money and want to secure teams before that prize money is allocated, just contact me, Tom or Darik and we'll take care of those signups for you and then take the money off your Player Account once it is there.

Okay, now onto the format, in case you missed it.

This is a Hold 'em Contest which rewards owners for each additional round those players are on your team. You are limited to the number of players per team you can have on your team per round, but the points double for players who advance from Round 1 to Round 2 and then triple if they are still on your roster for the World Series. Picking the right players in Round 1 from the right teams is the key to winning this contest.

Here's the contest rules link and the Registration link:

https://nfc.shgn.com/rules/1245
https://nfc.shgn.com/signup/baseball?for=0;1245

Owners will select 16 players for Round 1 from the pool of available players from the eight remaining MLB playoff teams. There is no draft for this contest, nor any salary cap. You pick who you want and build your roster that way.

The starting lineup/positions will consist of 10 hitters and 6 pitchers, with the same positions and position eligibility of standard NFBC leagues, except for one less catcher. All 16 players on a roster for a round are considered "active." There are no bench positions.

1 Catcher
1 First Baseman
1 Second Baseman
1 Shortstop
1 Third Baseman
4 Outfielders
1 Utility Player
6 Pitchers

This is a points-based scoring system. Players can accumulate points in the following ways:

Hitters
Single - 1 point
Double - 2 points
Triple - 3 points
Home Run - 4 points
OUT (AB - H) minus .25 point
RBI - 1 point
Run - 1 point
Walk - 1 point
Stolen Base - 1 point
HBP - 1 point

Pitchers
Win - 4 points
Save - 4 points
Earned Run - minus 1 point
Strikeout - 1 point
IP - 1 point (1/2 = .3334, 2/3 = .6667)

After Round 1, owners can replace any player on their roster that was eliminated from the playoffs with another player. However, that new addition starts at 1x their points. All remaining players get double their points in Round 2 and triple their points in Round 3. Rosters can also be updated with new players before Round 3, but again those new additions start at 1x.

There are limits to how many players you can have per team per round of the MLB playoffs. They are:

Round 1: Divisional Games
Minimum of one player from each of the eight remaining teams
Maximum of three players from one team

Round 2: League Championship Series
Minimum of two players from each team
Maximum of six players from one team

Round 3: World Series
Maximum of 10 players from each team and minimum of 6 players from each team

Here's the prize pool:

NFBC Post-Season Contest:
1 - $15,000
2 - $6,000
3 - $5,000
4 - $4,000
5 - $3,500
6 - $3,000
7 - $2,500
8 - $2,000
9 - $1,500
10 - $1,200
11 - $1,000
12 - $750
13 - $600
14 - $500
15 - $450
16 - $400
17 - $350
18 - $300
19 - $250
20 - $200
21 - $175
22 - 150
23 - 125
24 - 100

We look forward to another great NFBC Post-Season Contest and paying out new winners just before the launch of the 2023 NFBC season. It's great to be drafting baseball year-round. Good luck and enjoy the NFBC Post-Season Hold 'em Contest.

Re: Win $15,000 In The 2022 NFBC Post-Season Contest

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Oct 04, 2022 8:51 am

Just a reminder that our NFBC Post-Season Contest starts AFTER the Wild Card games. All Divisional Round games start on Tuesday, so Registration will close before the first of four games on Tuesday, October 11th. You will lock in your players before the first of each teams' games on Tuesday.

We are shooting for 350 teams for this contest and prize money should be on your Player Accounts by this weekend. You can use money from your Player Accounts to enter this contest. If you want to secure your teams before that and want to use prize money you're going to be getting from the regular season, just email any of us and we'll get you set up and then take that money off once it's on your account. I'm at [email protected] if you need help with that.

This should be a fun, wild post-season contest with no clear cut favorite to win the World Series. We are using a multiplier scoring format, so the longer players are on your roster the more points they will score. Round won points are 1x. Round 2 they are 2x if they've been on your roster for two rounds. And Round 3 they are 3x for players that have been on your roster the whole way. Scores add up in a hurry if you have the right players.

Enjoy and good luck everyone.
