NFBC Offering $75,000 Bonus For Main Event/Rotowire OC

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Fri Feb 03, 2023 10:39 am

NFBC BONUS: Just a reminder that once again we are offering a $75,000 cash bonus to anyone who can win the overall titles in the Main Event AND the Rotowire Online Championship. Yes, it's tough to do that as we hope to have 700+ teams in the Main Event and more than 2,400 teams in the Online Championship, but it can be done.

In fact, it's been done twice before here. The insurance company has not won in this policy!! :lol: Lindy Hinkelman won this in 2009 and Chad Schroeder won it in 2015 among the Online Championship and the Primetime. So yes, it can be done, but it has been a while since anyone has done it. Let's get it done this year!!

If you have a Main Event team this year, make sure you get at least one team in the Rotowire Online Championship. If you win both overall titles you will win $350,000 plus the $75,000 cash bonus. Now that would be a $425,000 payday without even counting your league prizes!! Pretty cool. But you can't win if you don't play both contests, so jump in now!!

Here's the details:

NFBC Bonus
NFBC Main Event / Online Championship Bonus
$75,000
The NFBC will offer a $75,000 cash bonus to any owner who can win the overall titles in both the NFBC Main Event AND the Rotowire Online Championship. This cash bonus is called "The Lindy" because Lindy Hinkelman of Greencreek, Idaho actually won this bonus the very first year it was offered (2009). To win this $75,000 cash bonus, an NFBC owner has to win the NFBC Main Event overall title AND the Online Championship overall title. If someone pulls off that feat, the total prize winnings will be $350,000. Only those owners entered in both events -- and one owner can have multiple teams in each event -- have a shot at this $75,000 cash bonus.

In 2015 Chad Schroeder of Omaha, Nebraska also defied the odds and won the $75,000 cash bonus by winning the NFBC Primetime and the Rotowire Online Championship overall titles. Chad took home the $80,000 grand prize in each contest and the $75,000 cash bonus enroute to $305,000 in prizes that year. The two contests had 1,704 participants between them. See, it can be done.

Thanks all and best of luck. The season is almost upon us, so don't delay!! Get at least one team in each national contest and WIN BIG MONEY!!

Nobody won this year's $75,000 cash bonus for winning both overall titles in the NFBC Main Event and the Rotowire Online Championship, but Bob Catsiroumpas of London, Ontario came the closest. Bob finished third overall in the Main Event and 2nd overall in the Rotowire Online Championship. Damn, nice job Bob.

Brian Slack won the 2023 NFBC Main Event, but he didn't have any Rotowire Online Championship teams. Drew Forte won the Rotowire Online Championship, but he didn't have any Main Event teams. Next year, grab at least one team in each contest guys!!! :lol:

We will do this again next year and hopefully someone will win The Lindy!!!
