NFBC To Host $50/50 Teams Contest Every Tuesday Night

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are bringing back a Daily Fantasy Sports aspect to the NFBC with a Tuesday night contest exclusive to NFBC owners. We call this our NFBC $50/50 Teams contest where one owner can turn $50 into a FREE 2020 Main Event entry. Not a bad investment.

This contest will be held on Fanball and feature their scoring rules. We will limit each owner to a max of 3 teams and it will include the entire Tuesday night slate. Set your lineups before the first game each Tuesday night.

We will pay the Top 3 finishers accordingly:

1st Place - Free 2020 NFBC Main Event entry ($1700 value)
2nd Place - $300
3rd Place - $100

Here's the rules at Fanball:

Rules
In Fanball salary cap contests, entrants create a lineup by using players listed in the Player Pool to fill each defined roster requirement. All players have an assigned salary, and a valid roster will not have a salary cap that exceeds $55,000. In addition, the Player Pool will consist of all players expected to be on the active rosters for any team listed in the contest's event set.

Contest results will be determined by the total points accumulated by each individual lineup entry based on the scoring system detailed below.

Participants in each contest must adhere to Fanball's Master Terms of Service. Failure to comply with said terms will result in disqualification and, if applicable, prize forfeiture.

Scoring
Pitchers
Inning Pitched (IP) 1.5
Strikeout (K) 2
Win (W) 6
Quality Start (QS) 6
Complete Game (CG)* 2
Complete Game Shut Out (CGSO)* 4
No-Hitter (NH)* 8
Perfect Game (PG)* 10
*Bonus points for pitching (CG, CGSO, NH, PG) do not stack, meaning if a pitcher throws a perfect game, he only gets the 12 points even though a PG is also technically a CG, CGSO, and NH.

Hitters
Single (1B) 4
Double (2B) 8
Triple (3B) 10
Home run (HR) 12
Run Batted In (RBI) 4
Run (R) 3
Base on Balls (BB) 2
Hit by Pitch (HBP) 1
Stolen Base (SB) 9
Hit for Cycle (CYC) 12

Roster Requirements
Rosters will consist of 9 players and must include players from at least 2 different MLB teams from at least 2 different MLB games. In addition, no more than 5 players from one team are permitted on rosters.

The 9 Roster positions are:

P (SP/RP)
C
1B
2B
3B
SS
OF (LF/CF/RF)
OF (LF/CF/RF)
UTIL (C/1B/DH/2B/3B/SS/LF/CF/RF)

We will run this contest each Tuesday as long as there is demand. Rosters should be available on Mondays with salaries and it will be open to the first 50 teams. It will be NFBC exclusive as long as possible, but if there are still openings by Tuesday afternoon we will put it in the Fanball lobby for anyone to enter. The goal is to fill 50 spots per week for as many weeks as demand is there.

Good luck all and may many of you turn $50 into a FREE 2020 NFBC Main Event entry as possible. Thanks all and enjoy.

Okay, the scoring and the setup on Fanball.com is all new to us, so the idea is to do a soft launch to start out. Next Tuesday we'll debut with a $25/50 Teams contest. We will create this on Monday once the salaries are finalized and send out a link to this contest. Look for that via email and on the Message Boards.

Here's the prizes for our debut $25/50 Teams NFBC Contest:

1st Place - $600
2nd Place - $300
3rd Place - $150

Not bad for a $25 entry. Thanks all and look for that contest link next Monday.

Make sure you are logged in and it should come up as NFBC Exclusive.

So this first week is the soft entry? Then next week you will start the contest rewarding first place with a free ME entry ?

Yes. We want to gauge interest this week at $25 per team first. Let's sell this one out and then go at $50 a team.
