Now 202 Participants In The Debut NFBC Champions League

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are proud to announce another new contest to the NFBC that was created and designed by our own players. I can't take any credit for this. Tom can't take any credit for this. Darik can't take any credit for this.

This one belongs to YOU because it was created by many of our die-hard NFBC players. This is what happened with the Draft Champions concept, the Solo Shot and Silver Bullet concept and many other contests. Thanks everyone.

Okay, the NFBC Champions League is debuting in 2024 as an add-on to contests you are already playing. It doesn't make you buy more teams to compete, you just have to agree to pay a "sidepot" if you will on three of your teams in three different contests for a chance to become the 2025 NFBC Champions League champion. It's as easy as that.

Toby Guevin helped design this concept with several other NFBC players and he wrote the concept letter. This comes directly from Toby and it should summarize what the NFBC Champions League is all about. Here you go:

By Toby Guevin
The NFBC is known across fantasy baseball circles as the place where the best fantasy baseball players go to ply their craft. As more and more people look to the NFBC as the place where the best fantasy baseball players go to play, the NFBC is taking fantasy baseball to the next level by creating a single league where the best players, based only on performance–play in a high-profile, high stakes league that serves as the pinnacle of Rotisserie baseball.

That league is The NFBC Champions League.

How does it work?

The NFBC offers a “Champions League Package,” which is a stand alone package purchased by customers and includes three leagues ($1750 Main Event, $350 Online Championship, $150 Draft Champions, and a $250 Champions League Fee) for $2,500. Only one Champions League Package can be purchased per player to ensure players can’t qualify for The Champions League purely through volume.

The $250 Champions League Fee would go toward prizes for the following year’s Champions League.

The Champions League Qualifier teams play in the usual overalls for those events, but the teams purchased through the Champions League Package are identified as “Champions League Qualifier (CLQ)” teams. They show up on your My Teams page as, for example, Main Event - CLQ.

These Champions League Qualifier teams, in addition to participating in the usual overalls (i.e. a Main Event Champions League Qualifier team could still win the Main Event overall), would have a separate overall standing system (in the same way as current sidepot contests do). The overall points for each player in the Champions League Qualifiers in all three formats are aggregated and the top 15 players in points in the Champions League Qualifier overall competition participate in The Champions League the following year. There wouldn’t be a Champions League in Year 1, but there would be in every subsequent year.

These 15 players would have earned their seat at the table in a high profile, ultra competitive league with high stakes.

The Champions League would be a 15-team auction, offering everyone an equal chance to get every player and a range of strategies to employ.

The prize pool in The Champions League depends on the number of players participating in qualifiers. Last year, 149 NFBC players had at least one Main Event, Online Championship and Draft Champions league entry. At 149 players, The Champions League prize pool would be $37,250 with 60% going to first ($22,350), 30% to second ($11,175) and 10% to third ($3,725). At 250 players, the prize pool would be $62,500 with a $37,500/$18,750/$6250 split. The prizes could also be supplemented by advertisers who are interested in attaching their name to the highest profile fantasy baseball tournament in the world.

Beginning in Year 3, the previous year’s champion would automatically qualify for the following year’s Champions League, with the top 14 in the Champions League Qualifier overall standings joining the champion in the next season’s Champions League.

The Champions League has no buy-in (outside of the $250 Champions League Fee). Qualification is entirely based on last year’s performance, with the incentive the chance to win a huge prize for those who are good enough to qualify.

The Champions League draft is one of the last events in Las Vegas. Players would be required to attend in-person to participate.

The winner of the Champions League, in addition to the prizes, is crowned the Champions League Winner and best fantasy baseball player in the world for that year.

Why do we need a Champions League?

The NFBC is full of competitive fantasy baseball players who are working continuously to be the best at their craft, putting a lot of time, energy and money into the game and playing in the best leagues. Some players are more interested in the fun and social aspects of the game, but everyone is playing to do their best and hopefully cash or win their leagues. None of this changes with a Champions League.

Right now there is a vacuum of a single league for people who love the game of fantasy baseball to focus their attention on. It used to be that expert leagues filled this vacuum, but with the NFBC increasing in popularity, and expert leagues being based on an affiliation with a fantasy baseball community instead of performance, The Champions League can fill this vacuum.

The $2500 is a high threshold for entry, but for people already playing in these leagues, the $250 fee provides the opportunity to participate in a stand-alone high stakes league at minimal additional cost.

In addition to the financial prize, the Champions League would offer virtually unparalleled recognition for the winner, as someone who not only qualified for The Champions League through a grueling process the season before, but went toe-to-toe with the best players to take down the crown. This chance at glory will drive interest in playing and interest in the competition itself.

Building the Fantasy Baseball Community

Social media and podcasting has allowed communities like fantasy baseball to flourish, allowing some of the sharpest minds and dynamic personalities of the game to increase in visibility. The Champions League would provide the perfect venue and singular league to introduce the broader fantasy baseball community (of which the NFBC is just a small fraction) to these players.

Phil Dussault is known as The Robot: Let’s introduce the world to an analytical approach to fantasy baseball that is measured but effective.

Jason Duponte’s auction antics and anti-Yankee bias is well-known in the NFBC. Let’s introduce the broader fantasy baseball community to his booming voice in auctions. This also gives those players (if they want), the opportunity to build a network of supporters, start a Patreon or access promotional opportunities.

The previous year’s Main Event winner, Online Championship Winner and Draft Champions winner (assuming they qualify) competing against each other the following year.

Below are some examples of the type of media, advertising and promotional opportunities that could be connected to fantasy baseball:
Official sponsors of the Champions League who want to attach their name/brand to the best fantasy baseball league in the world while contributing to the prize pool.

An official podcast of the Champions League that interviews all 15 players in the lead up to the draft about their philosophy, strategy and thoughts on the upcoming draft and league.

Individual sponsorship opportunities for players who compete. X Player is sponsored by a fantasy baseball content site (as an example) and promotes their draft guide as an important part of their fantasy baseball preparations.

The Champions League draft streamed live with players mic’ed and interviewed in front of a live audience.

Incredible narratives of the player who wins their $50 home league who wants to be the best in fantasy baseball. They take the winnings and enter an OC, wins their league and finish in the overall. The following year they take those winnings and purchase a Champions League Package, finishing in the top 15 and earning a seat at the table for a large cash prize, which all started with a $50 home league and desire to be the best in fantasy baseball. This will then inspire others to try to take the same path, if they think they can be the best.

Do you think you can be the best?

Let’s find out.


Well done Toby. I couldn't have explained this better myself. Now, who's game for a three-pack and a chance to join The NFBC Champions League? Damn, great idea and another great opportunity to prove you are among the best players in the entire fantasy baseball community. Game On!!!

ONE FINAL NOTE: While this is a contest with one entry per person, these are national contests that allow co-managers to be on their teams. First and foremost is winning these national championships for each of you and we've always allowed co-managers on Main Event, OC and DC teams. Heck, some people even have different co-managers for different teams. However, ONLY ONE PERSON is allowed at the NFBC League Champions Qualifier Final Auction Table in 2025 and ONLY ONE PERSON can win the prize money and the title. Let's make that perfectly clear. Thanks.

Just for clarification: 100 PERCENT of the side pot money is going back in prize money. The NFBC is NOT taking any percentage of that payment for expenses as this great idea merits full payment in prizes to the players who agree to compete in this format.

Enjoy and best of luck to everyone competing for this extra prize money and a seat at the Champions League table next season.

I believe this thread needs some attention with a few updates.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, I'll put the signup list on the first post and officially update it there. MTM is right that this thread needs daily updating and I'll do that from here on out.

It also needs some SMACK TALKING!!! I know we waited for that to happen until we had Mike The Mouth in this contest, but now let's get it on!!! I mean, this is the industry's TRUE SINGLE ENTRY contest!!!! Right? One entry in three national championships to determine the greatest fantasy baseball player in the industry!!!

Wow, this format is awesome. Okay, here's the current signup list as we're getting closer to 100 individual owners:

We now have 106 entrants in the debut NFBC Champions Qualifer League. That's a total of $26,500 in prize money for this side contest. Awesome job everyone and so many people are talking about this great concept.

Just a heads up that if anyone has signed up for a Main Event separately, there is a way to still get into the Champions League without adding another Main Event team. These teams are specially coded as CQL and so they must be bought as part of this Special Package. But obviously nobody has drafted a Main Event team and no teams have been assigned to a league yet, so we can still help you out. Just contact me and I'll delete that signup, put funds back on your account and have you upgrade to The Champions Qualifier League. It's as easy as that ([email protected]).

Also, if you won an NFBC Main Event Qualifier entry and you already have that on your account, if you want to upgrade to the Champions League we've figured out how to do that. Email me and I'll get you set up.

This is pretty damn exciting. Well done everyone. This concept is really catching on. Now, how many entrants will this debut contest finish with? 150? More? Less? We'll find out in less than two months. Enjoy and good luck everyone.

[Baseball Furies]

Cool! Just keep updating the competitors list.

[Greg Ambrosius]

So I see that someone is asking about co-managers in The Champions League Qualifier and if they should be allowed.

Folks, EVERY NFBC Main Event entry, EVERY Online Championship entry and EVERY Draft Champions entry allows co-managers. In fact, every single contest in our portfolio allows co-managers except for the NFFC Silver Bullet, which is a single-entry contest.

The Champions League Qualifier allows one entry per individual owner in three different contests, but we are NOT blocking co-managers from helping them in these three national championships. At the end of the day, every single one of you are trying to win a national championship in each of these three contests and if you do there are $380,000 in grand prizes awaiting you. THAT should be your first goal.

Again, the rules are that you are allowed ONE entry per person in The Champions League Qualifier. There is no controversy if someone actually has a co-manager for those national contests. If we think one person is buying multiple $2500 entries under pseudo names, I'm confident someone competing in this contest will alert us. I don't see that happening.

This is a GREAT contest and there's no reason to look under every rock for controversy. There's no controversy here. May the best 15 people make the Finals and may the best person win. Good luck everyone.

And the real controversy is when we are going to schedule the 2025 Qualifier Auction in Las Vegas. That weekend is mighty busy and we have to pick the date and time well in advance for everyone. Thursday Night is one option. Friday and Saturday nights are options, too, although each night has multiple leagues that people love to compete in. Let's start that discussion and get 2025 planned well in advance. Thanks everyone.

[Greg Ambrosius]

We now have MORE THAN 130 UNIQUE OWNERS in the debut NFBC Champions League Qualifier tournament!!! This is a HUGE SUCCESS and it's going to continue to grow over the next 6+ weeks. Great job everyone and more are welcome in this fun, unique tournament.

The first post contains the entire list of owners. Enjoy.

[COZ]

Great ROI with Massotto having 3 teams in this.

[Greg Ambrosius]

I'm LOVING this debut NFBC Champions League Qualifier format. I didn't realize how good this concept was before really digging into all of this. And now I'm more confident than ever that it can be just as big, if not bigger, in the NFFC. We're doing it.

Here's what I think is worth more than the extra $250 for the sidepot: Analyzing 30 new categories every day in this Champions League Qualifier format!!! These overall standings will have 30 different categories that you are comparing your stats against the other 150+ teams. It will make your mornings even more enjoyable!!

I mean every morning you're going to see how you can move up if your Main Event team gets 2 more stolen bases, but you need 4 more saves from your Online Championship team to move up even further, and yet your DC team is sucking in batting average. Every day will be an ebb and flow of good and bad news in this contest!!!

This is something that football won't have as that will be total points from your three teams. But in the NFBC Champions League Qualifier format, you are analyzing 30 different stat categories and seeing how you can improve with any one of those areas improving. It's so crazy.

I was talking with IT today about displaying all of this information and we'll likely have to get creative for you to see all of these categories easily. Should be fun and I can't wait to unveil everything once we have a final count for the CLQ. Who knows, we could have final signups right through those final days of drafting. Can't wait to see what the final number ends up at. So good.

Enjoy and good luck everyone.

We now have 146 participants in the debut NFBC Champions League Qualifier Championship. The Over/Under was 150, so anyone with the Over tickets be ready to cash soon!!! The sidepot now has $36,500 in it!!! Pretty sweet!!!

If you know you're going to compete in the NFBC Main Event, Rotowire Online Championship and the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship, you might as well add $250 and compete in this national championship as well. It could net you another $20,000+. Thanks and good luck.

WE HAVE TOPPED THE OVER IN THE DEBUT CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUALIFIER!!!

That's right, we now have over 150 teams entered in this new national championship with more room to grow. This one has exceeded expectations and it's so cool. Some of our veterans have never done the 12-Team Rotowire Online Championship before, but are jumping in to be part of the Champions League Qualifier format. So cool.

Great job everyone and let's keep this train rolling!!!

There are NOW 170 UNIQUE OWNERS in the debut NFBC Champions League Qualifier Championship!!!

Wow, so cool. The grand prize is now over $25,000 and the pot has over $42,000 on it. $50,000 is looking more realistic each day. Thanks all and keep 'em coming.

We are now up to 178 PARTICIPANTS in the debut NFBC Champions League Qualifier. Please take a look at these rules and if you have what it takes to beat the best in three different formats, then consider jumping in. You won't regret it, I promise!!!
