NFBC Message Boards

The 1st annual NFBC Online Championship will feature 12-team leagues and pay prizes to the top two finishers in each league play the top six finishers overall. First place in each league is $1,300 and second place is $650, with the entry fee being $350 per team. First place overall is $20,000 and is guaranteed based on a total of 300 teams. The overall prize structure will increase at the same payout level should the contest expand beyond 300 teams per our rules.



The NFBC Online Championship will host drafts during the eight days prior to Opening Day on Sunday, April 5th. There are 15 different time slots for online drafts and we will try to fill no more than 3-4 leagues per time slot. First-come, first-serve to reserve a spot and remember that we will not charge any credit cards until Feb. 15, 2009. All of the drafts will be held on MockDraftCentral.com and all of the leagues will then be played out on our NFBC game site.



One more point: All teams signed up for a certain date will be mixed up randomly to form separate leagues if there are 24 or more teams signed up for that time. Let's say we get 36 teams on Saturday, April 4th at 4 pm ET. We will then mix all 36 leagues randomly, form three separate leagues and then process KDS for each league. Hope that helps explain how the leagues are formed.



Here is the current list of signups and this list will be updated as each new signup comes in. Let's give it up for Lenny DiVeglio of Medford, New York as he was our first official signup for the NFBC Online Championship League, grabbing spots in both Saturday, April 4th events. Thanks Lenny and thanks to everyone on this list:

[ March 26, 2009, 05:14 PM: Message edited by: Tom Kessenich ]

Thanks for the great overnite response all. I have a feeling I may have underestimated what an online championship can generate in signups, but have no fear as we'll guarantee the grand prize based on 300 teams and continue to add to the overall prize if we go beyond that.



Anyway, thanks to Perry Van Hook of Surprise, Arizona who was our second signup for a pair of online championship events and to Emory Upchurch of Ukiah, California and John Dean of Santa Ana, California for being our first purchasers of the "three-pack". We'll make sure you are charged just $950 for those three events.



Lots of different choices for draft dates and everyone seems to have grabbed a spot in a different one. Thanks all and this should be a lot of fun.

The rules for the debut NBC Sports NFBC Online Championship are listed on the home page, but I'll post them here as well for all to see:



1. Overview: 1. Overview: The National Fantasy Baseball Championship (NFBC) Online Championship will consist of individual leagues, each comprised of 12 teams/managers. The NFBC Online Championship's regular season will extend from Opening Day 2009 through the final game of the regular season (including a season-ending tie-breaker if needed). Teams will compete for accumulative stats in five offensive and five pitching categories, with each category weighted equally. Categories include: (for hitters) Batting Average, Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases and Runs; (for pitchers) Wins, Saves, Earned Run Average, Strikeouts and WHIP Ratio (Walks plus Hits divided by Innings Pitched). The team at the end of the year with the most cumulative points in each league wins the league title and we'll pay the top two spots in each individual league. Teams will also have their cumulative stats positioned in an overall Rotisserie setup league (5x5 with each category weighted equally among all teams in the NFBC), with the top finisher overall winning the grand prize.



2. Draft: Drafts will take place online at www.mockdraftcentral.com from Saturday, March 28 through Saturday, April 4. Participants can enter as many Online Championship leagues as they'd like and be eligible for the league and overall prizes. For a complete list of available NFBC Online Championship Leagues, click on the REGISTER link on the NFBC home page, go to the second page and click on VIEW ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUES. The entire list will show up. If an NFBC participant inadvertently leaves the draft with an illegal lineup (for instance, was without a middle infielder or second catcher) then the NFBC will drop the last pick made by that team (or more picks if needed) and add the last player at that position on Fantasy Sports Magazine's final Cheat Sheet on Draft Day to make that lineup legal. The NFBC participant could replace that player after that error was discovered during the first FAAB period on Sunday, April 5. All lineups must be legal before the season starts and the NFBC will correct all errors that may have been missed at the draft.



3. Roster Requirements: Maximum of 30 players at all times.



4. Starting Lineup Requirements: Starting lineups will consist of:



* 2 Catchers

* 1 First Baseman

* 1 Second Baseman

* 1 Shortstop

* 1 Third Baseman

* 1 Middle Infielder (2B/SS)

* 1 Corner Infielder (1B/3B)

* 1 Utility Player (any offensive position)

* 5 Outfielders

* 9 Pitchers



There is a 700 innings pitched minimum requirement for all NFBC Online Championship leagues, but no minimum requirement for number of starting pitchers or relief pitchers on each roster. Should any team not reach the required limit of 700 innings pitched by the end of the season, the league and overall rankings will be altered to show that team getting 1 point in both ERA and WHIP. No other teams will switch positions in the standings, but the team that didn't reach the minimum IP will automatically earn 1 point in ERA and WHIP. All players must have played 20 games in 2008 or 10 games during the 2009 season to qualify at a certain position. Minor-leaguers who did not play 20 games at any position in 2008 but who still played at least one game in the majors last year, will qualify at the position they played the most at in the majors in 2008. Other eligibility guidelines can be found under Section 6 in the Rules. If a player returns from retirement or rehab after missing the previous year, his position eligibility will be his previous year's eligibility. If no Week One lineup is submitted, the NFBC will determine your starting lineup. After Week One, if no starting lineup is submitted, your starting lineup will be that of the previous week. Owners DO NOT have to fill their 23 required starting spots with their first 23 draft picks; i.e. you can pick your second catcher with your 30th pick if you'd like.



A. League Management Web Address: You can access your league via the Internet by going to http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/. You will need a username and a password to access the game site. Contact [email protected] if you are signed up for the contest and don't have a username and password. All drafts will be held online at www.mockdraftcentral.com and owners will receive free access to this site before Draft Day and for the draft.



B. Lineup Submission: All lineups may be submitted on the league web site and are due five minutes before the first game starts each Monday. If the first game of that Monday starts at 7 pm EST, your starting lineup must be designated by 6:55 pm EST. For any Monday early game (before 7 pm EST), NFBC owners are allowed to activate those players involved in those early games and then officially set the rest of their active players before that first 7 pm EST game. Rosters for all NFBC leagues are locked for the week at that time.



C. NFBC Phone In: STATS Inc., one of the largest and most respected stat providers in the fantasy sports industry, will be handling all transactions via phone at 888-450-2730. Please acknowledge that you are calling in transactions for the NFBC Online Championship when you call the toll-free number. You will need your username and password to submit transactions via phone.



5. Scoring: The NFBC Online Championship will use a 5x5 Rotisserie scoring setup. Cumulative totals will be used for the following categories:



* Batting Average

* Home Runs

* RBIs

* Runs

* Stolen Bases

* Wins

* Saves

* Earned Run Average

* Strikeouts

* WHIP Ratio (walks plus hits divided by innings pitched)



6. Position Eligibility: The NFBC Online Championship will use the following position eligibility rules in 2009:

a) Players who played at least 20 games at any position in 2008 will qualify at that position for the entire 2009 NFBC season. Players who play 10 games at a new position in 2009 will be eligible at that position after they have played for the 10th time there this year.

b) Players who played less than 20 games total in the majors last year will be eligible at the position they played the most games at, not including DH or pinch-hitting.

c) Those players who only pinch-hit in the majors in 2008 will be position eligible according to their minor-league games played status in 2008. They would qualify at the position they played the most games in the minors.

d) Players who played all of 2008 in the minor leagues will be awarded position eligibility for 2009's NFBC season based on the most games played at all levels in the minors. STATS will determine that one eligible position before Draft Day and that will determine that players' status for 2009 once he is called up to the majors. Those players who only pinch-hit or DH in the minors will only be UT-eligible.

e) Players who played 20 or more games in the majors last year and didn't play 20 or more games at one position will be deemed UT-only eligible in 2009 unless otherwise designated by the NFBC Commissioner. The NFBC Commissioner will rule on player eligibility prior to the draft as he deems necessary. Those eligibility lists are final.

f) Additional position eligibility will be awarded during the season when a player has played a new position 10 times which he was not previously eligible.



7. Free Agents: Any player who is not on a team roster within your league and is on a major-league roster or once was on an NFBC team in your league is considered a free agent for that league. Even players on the MLB disabled list are eligible to be picked up during the FAAB bidding process. The player pool is deemed closed of new free agents each Sunday at 7 a.m. EST before the FAAB bidding deadline. Participants should note that MLB unsigned veteran free agents at the time of Draft Day are eligible to be picked up or bid on in the NFBC Online Championship.



8. Free Agent Acquisitions: The free agent system will be a "blind bidding" process for each individual league. Each team will start with 1,000 free agent "dollars" for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis with a minimum bid of $1 per player. No team will be informed of any other team's free agent bids. The team with the highest bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be deducted from the winning team's free agent dollars. For each winning bid, the winning team must drop a player to make roster room for the free agent acquisition. If a team's free agent dollars goes to zero, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the rest of the season. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's free agent dollars. All bids must be in increments of dollars (no cents). The winning bids with owner's name will be shown after the FAAB bidding period for each NFBC Online Championship league along with the runner-up dollar amount that was offered for each player. The first FAAB period will be held on Sunday, April 5.



9. Bidding Time Frame: The bidding process starts the week of March 30 for Week 1 and ends at the completion of Week 26 (including any regular-season tie-breaker game). Bids will be accepted on the league web site from Monday at 3 p.m. ET until Sunday at 8 p.m. ET in each of these weeks. If you are submitting by phone, you must submit your bids by 5 p.m. on Friday. Rosters will be updated shortly after 8 p.m. ET on Sunday with the results of all successful bids and starting lineups for the upcoming week to be finalized five minutes before the first game every Monday.



10. Conditional Bids: Conditional bids can also be offered. In the event you may lose out on a player, you can place conditional bid(s) for other players during the bidding time frame. The first conditional bid will become relevant only if you lose out on your primary bid. Subsequent conditional bids will become relevant only if the previous conditional bid fails. Bids do not require conditional bids. Bids may have several sequential conditional bids. Participants should note that the computer takes the HIGHEST BIDS and processes each bid in that order if you have multiple FAAB acquisition bids. Putting a larger bid on a conditional bid than a primary bid also isn't allowed.



Example:

Acquire Max Scherzer, $19, cut Tony Pena

Acquire Jensen Lewis, $16, cut Tony Pena

Acquire Eric Gagne, $2, cut Tony Pena



11. Number of Bid Limits: There is no limit to the number of bids each week in which bids are permitted. The computer processes the bids in the order of highest dollar amounts, so make sure your highest bid is on the main player you want to acquire. A higher dollar amount for a lower priority bid will be processed first.



12. Tied Bids: If there is a tie bid, the team that receives the player will be determined in order by:



1. Worst league record.

2. Lowest standing the previous week.

3. Coin toss.

4. Lowest standing three weeks previous.

5. Lowest draft position from Draft Day.

In the case of a tied bid during the first FAAB period (April 5), the player will be awarded to the team that had the lowest draft spot on Draft Day (i.e. should Team 4, Team 7 and Team 11 each bid $1 on Sam Smith, Team 11 would get him).



13. Trades between managers: To minimize the possibility of collusion, there will be no trading allowed. All drops are also subject to review by the commissioner of the NFBC and can be revoked if the dropped player is deemed too valuable to be offered to that league's free agent pool, thus damaging the credibility of the overall contest. The commissioner can also allow a cut of a star player and then keep that player out of that league's free agent pool for any length of time, including the rest of the season. All decisions by the NFBC commissioner will be final.



14. League Structure: Each league will consist of 12 teams competing in a Rotisserie style mixed-league format for the league championship. Points will be awarded in this order: 12 points for 1st place in each category, 11 points for 2nd place, 10 for 3rd and continue down to 1 point for 12th place. This will occur in all 10 scoring categories. Payoffs will be for the first two teams in each league. Teams will also have their cumulative stats positioned in an overall Rotisserie setup league (5x5 with each category weighted equally among all teams in the NFBC), with the top finisher overall winning the grand prize.



15. Submitting Starting Lineups: The weekly NFBC Online Championship deadline for setting starting lineups is 6:55 p.m. ET each Monday. Any game that occurs before that, NFBC owners are required to get those players involved in their starting lineups five minutes before the start of those games. Owners are also allowed to remove a player (or players) who is officially on the DL from their starting lineup with one of their players from their reserve roster before each Friday's first game as long as the position eligibility works out. Players must officially be on Major League Baseball's DL list according to STATS and the NFBC by 12:01 a.m. on Friday for this move (or moves) to take effect for the weekend games.



16. Random League/Draft Spot Selections: The NFBC Online Championship will randomly select the leagues and the draft orders of each league once all entries have been finalized for each draft date. For instance, if the NFBC receives 48 entries for the Saturday, April 4th afternoon draft, we'll put all 48 names into the computer and select in order: League 1, pick 1 is John Smith; League 1, pick 2 is John Doe, League 1, pick 3 is Jane Andrews, etc. until all 48 names have been selected. We will do this for each draft date for all of the leagues. We will also implement the Kentucky Derby Style process in the NFBC Online Championship to allow owners more draft preference. The KDS process allows owners to rank their order of preference for Draft Day, ranking their preferences 1 through 12 BEFORE the leagues are selected. If an owner wants the third pick if he is selected No. 1 overall in his league, he would choose that option and he would then be moved to third in that league on Draft Day. NFBC officials will look at every owner's Draft Preferences after the leagues and orders are randomly selected and then announce the draft orders for each league. Once each NFBC owner has officially signed up for the contest, they can find this feature in their game site under My Settings. Then click on Draft Preferences and you'll see the Draft Order ranked 1 through 12 and the option to change those preferences next to them. If you decide not to rank your preferences, your preferred order will remain 1 through 12. Owners can change their Draft Preferences right up until the announced deadline is set.



17. Prize Breakdown:



NFBC Online Championship = $20,000

Second Place = $5,000

Third Place = $2,500

Fourth Place = $1,250

Fifth Place = $500

Sixth Place = $350



League Prizes:

First Place: $1,300

Second Place: $650



$5,000 Bonus will be awarded to the top overall team based on number of points earned in the NFBC Main Event and the NFBC Online Championship.



We are paying back 75 percent of all entry fees for league and overall prizes plus an additional 5 percent to an overall grand prize combining the overall standings of the NFBC main event and the NFBC Online Championship. League prizes are $1,300 for first place and $650 for second place. The grand prize is guaranteed at $20,000. The first 300 teams that enter are guaranteed spots in the NFBC Online Championship and any additional revenue above that total up to a maximum of 600 teams will be reimbursed under the same percentages to the overall prize pools.



18. Time Limit For Draft: There will be a 90-second time limit for each owner to make his/her pick during each round of the NFBC Online Championship draft. If a participant does not make a selection in the allotted time, the computer will select for that owner using MDC's overall ranking system. If there is a computer failure, an error made with a selection by an owner or any other type of technical malfunction, the draft moderator can stop the draft at any time and correct the error and then resume the draft. We will allow the draft moderator to roll back the draft if a technical error occurred, but if the desired player had already been selected before the draft was stopped that player is no longer available to be drafted. All decisions will be made by the NFBC moderator during the draft and will be final.



19. Commissioner Decisions: All decisions made by the Commissioner of the NFBC are final. Tough decisions sometimes must be made about eligibility rules, lineups, draft software, etc., and NFBC participants must accept the unbiased ruling of the NFBC Commissioner.



20. Refunds: Once a participant submits valid payment, no money will be refunded to participants or co-managers unless The NFBC Online Championship is canceled. A team spot is considered filled when the entire entry fee is paid. Krause Publications reserves the right to cancel any entries not comprising a full 12-team league. When a participant agrees to finish the registration form and submit payment, that participant has demonstrated his/her acceptance of the official rules and regulations for the NFBC Online Championship.



At its sole discretion, Krause Publications also reserves the right to terminate The NFBC Online Championship in its entirety if there are an insufficient number of teams two days before each deadline. In this unlikely event, Krause Publications will refund all entry fees within 48 hours of cancellation notice and/or provide a new application form with the newly stated prize figures. All pre-registered applicants would have the right to a full refund or agree to play for the newly announced prize structure or in other leagues. Krause Publications is not responsible for any loss or liability incurred by any participant or co-managers due to cancellation of the NFBC Online Championship, including but not limited to travel or hotel expenses, time taken off from employment, etc.



21. Taxes: If the principal participant's prize winnings exceed $600.00, The NFBC Online Championship must file a Form 1099 with the IRS at the end of this calendar year. We will request your social security number and signature on this form and will pay the principal owner. The Form contains the amount paid to you and you will receive a copy of the Form for tax purposes. You are responsible for paying any taxes that result from your cash prize. Please consult your income tax advisor for filing advice.

We have 15 different draft options over the 8-day period for the NFBC Online Championship and all of them are listed on the Registration page. Remember that there is a special-priced 3-pack of $950 for the Online Championship if you choose to do multiple dates. Here's a complete listing of the dates for the NFBC Online Championship:

Jules You're in Jules and we now have that date with one full league. We'll shoot for two full leagues at that time and then see where it takes us. We have over 70 signups in total for the eight days right now and will try to limit each time slot to 3 leagues so that we can monitor them closely. Thanks all.

There, we just filled up our first league on Sunday, March 29th at 5 p.m. and will keep it open for a second league at that time. Thanks all and let's keep the Online Championship signups coming in.

thanks

thanks Yeah, the entire list of teams is in the top post. We have 77 teams signed up already, which is a great start. The prize money is guaranteed, so no worries there. We've always guaranteed the prize money and trust me this one is MUCH less risky than anything else we've done. We'll reach 300 teams and then some.



Remember, we can still fill leagues after Draft Day as leagues will run two weeks after the live draft. I think folks who draft with us on March 21 will take a team or two in the Online Championship after they've tasted the drink, so I have no worries about hitting 300 and possibly going above that. Again, we're at 77 teams today and well on our way to 300.

Greg, Thanks for the update...im in

We have 100 official signups for our NFBC Online Championship, one-third of the way towards our goal. We'll try to do 2 or 3 drafts per offering, so don't get left out if you see a date that works for you. Thanks all and good luck to everyone in the hunt for the $20,000 grand prize.

Frank Heron is in for the three-pack during our debut online championship season. Welcome aboard Frank and good luck here.

Hey Greg

Im signed up 4 the April 1st online draft at 7pm. I have the link on my Home page but my name is not on this signup list. Thx

I signed up for two online championship leagues. When I received the confirmation it only listed the time and date of one of my drafts. I just want to make sure I'm signed up for the correct time and date for my other. My username is spcohen. I should be signed up for March 29th at 5 PM and April 4th at 4 PM.

How come you have the amount of teams going past 12 in some of the online championship leagues?

How come you have the amount of teams going past 12 in some of the online championship leagues? Because we'll be running multiple leagues during each of these time slots. As we get closer to the deadline, we'll cut off these signups for particular dates and make sure we have perfect numbers of 12-team leagues. We have 15 draft dates/times and we're shooting for 25 leagues, so do the math and you'll see we're shooting for about two leagues per time slot. As we get closer to Opening Day, we may have more than that, so don't delay if you want to get into one of those more congested dates. There is no doubt in my mind we'll hit 300 total teams and likely a little more than that for the Online Championship.
