Greg/Tom - tremendous job on selling all the DC leagues this year but what is the threshold on number of leagues before the overall prizes would start to be increased?

With the ever mounting teams in DC....
Two guys at the end of the season...

Hey, how'd you finish in your DC?

Ok.

What kind answer is that?

I finished 289 Overall.

That's too bad.

I won my league.

Hey! You did do ok.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

Perry, prizes are based on 130+ leagues among the $150, $400 and $1,000 DCs combined after filling 123 leagues last year. Obviously we are well ahead of last year's pace, so we'll see what the final tally shows. You are more than welcome to jump into a DC at any time. ;)

There was another contest that didn't distribute the extra prize money this season after going above advertised goals. It happens sometimes that a contest is more successful than you expected, but it's not a good precedent for the consumers. It's very difficult to ever hit these goals right on the head and there's always risks for the game operator who has to guarantee big enough overall grand prizes while still trying to make some profit. But just keeping additional prize money isn't a good precedent to set.

There are other ways to deal with a successful product and we hope we get the chance to do that here with the DCs.
