Special Diamond Challenge League for NFBC



Looking for a way to move up on the money leaders list and prove your fantasy baseball superioty? Fanball has added a special Diamond Challenge league for NFBC players where you can win a FREE 2011 NFBC CLASSIC ENTRY, plus win all of the Diamond Challenge cash prizes, and it doesn't cost you a penny more to be in this league.



When you sign up on Diamond Challenge you're asked if you want to be in a particular league. The NFBC customers should put 110. This league has a block, and the first 25 entires to request league 110 will be in.

Here's the skinny on the deal. The Diamond Challenge cost $39.95 to enter. You can max your transactions charges (new this year!) at $400 (All transactions included, player purchases, switches, shifts, call-ups, etc.) VIP club will cost you another $75, but it's worth it for the 40% extra league payouts. So your max out of pocket expense to play is $514.95. The winner of this league will win $1400 cash plus the FREE 2011 NFBC CLASSIC ENTRY. 2nd wins $700, 3rd wins $420, 4th wins $280, 5th wins $140 and 6th wins a free 2011 DC entry. You can win more; the top 25 win division prizes ($2000 to first) and the top 100 overall win more cash ($50,000 to first) So you could win $53,400 in cash and a FREE 2011 NFBC CLASSIC ENTRY. And there's more! Team this entry with a Fantasy Baseball 2010 entry in a Free Super Challenge entry and you could win $100,000.



A lot of the NFBC players have been playing the Diamond Challenge for years. I won't kid you, this is tough. You can have any player you want, and so can everyone else, so you don't get a major advantage owning Albert Pujols. Some think this is the toughest competion in fantasy baseball, some think it's the NFBC. Play both and you decide!

I have been playing High Roller for at least 3 years and was sad to see it removed this year. I have been tossing the idea around of doing Diamond Challenge to make up for no High Roller this year.But their are reasons why I didn't want to do it.This is a awesome idea and signed up right away. thank you

What if you've already bought a Diamond Challenge team?

Can I have mine switched to this league?

I also didn't know about maxing out the transactions....can I do this after the fact?



Please let me know....thanks.



Glenn

Charlie...I just entered, but I think I did the league assignment wrong. Can You fix it?

Charlie,



I think I was the first to RATE you on the NFBC boards, does that qualify for a free entry?

Just what we need, CHILDS getting serious about the Diamond Challenge!

Glenn No worries Charlie....I called up Fanball customer service and they took care of this for me.



Thanks and this will be a fun contest.



Glenn

Jumped to 110 so y'all could have some dead money in DC....

LUNY:



Will we be allowed into this league if our friend out West signs up first?





We are sure to CATCH some crap.

Looks, like full? This package convinved me to join, but I tried to get into 110 and wasn't assigned to a league.



I don't want to join if no NFBC membership so if offer is full, please cancel all of my sign up. It looks like I got a team, but got an error at the very end and when I look at the leage from home page, one isn't listed so I assume the 110 league was full?



Thanks

Spyhunter

Charlie, you may have been on to something good here.

Spyhunter It looks like I did it wrong and it filled too quickly to correct my mistake. Please cancel my entry also if I'm not in the correct league.

Spyhunter FYI, I did get an email confirming my entry and it stated 110, but on the main page, I don't see a league assigned when I go to the Leagues and Teams page, and as I noted, I got an error was noted at the very end on my sign up which said to call you, so not sure what is going on....

Yeah - I signed up as well - or tried to - but looks like I'm not in the group. I'm not certain I want to keep my team if I'm not playing with the NFBC gang.

We are sure to CATCH some crap. I will call TZ West and if he is in, so are we...

Has Charlie left the building?

Okay - I got an email from CDM customer service that confirmed that I was in the NFBC group.



When I go to my teams and leagues page it shows an account number- 11-005 - but no league designation yet. My guess is that means I was the 5th sign up for league 110? Shawn - does your page show a similar account number? 11-00? If so I think that would mean you are in the NFBC group. Obviously Charlie can answer this for certain - but that's my guess for now.

I'm not on the boards as much as I should be...I have other duties...like trying to get magazines mailed!!! Norred is a ringer and probably thinks you're all easy prey! I'd like to Childs in this league, he can't bully you with early faab pick ups!

Just in case I did not make myself perfectly clear (imagine that!), in order to have a team in league 110, you must also have a NFBC Classic team...as per Brian Matthews!

Charlie:



Sent a note to my partner in CRIME - Tom Zownir. If he agrees, (and registers) we will give this a shot.



Love the concept and Free Main Event angle. To good to pass up.



Ken
