Win 2020 Main Event Entry In Friday's $50/50 Teams Contest

[Greg Ambrosius]

We filled 45 of 50 spots in last week's NFBC/Fanball $50/50 Teams Contest, so let's offer another one this Friday. I'm confident that with Virginia residents eligible to play this week that we will sell it out. Let's do this.

The contest link is now available and the contest is open for Registration. Look for player salaries for this contest later this afternoon. Good luck all in this fun contest, which gives away a FREE 2020 NFBC Main Event entry to the top team. Here's the signup link:

Week 1 - Todd Schoenfeld
Week 2 - Phillipe Dussault
Week 3 - Colin Weatherwax
Week 4 - Adam Warner
Week 5 - Roger Martin

Just a reminder that we pay the Top 3 finishers in this 50-team contest. Payouts are as follows:

1st Place - 2020 NFBC Main Event Entry Plus $50
2nd Place - $300
3rd Place - $100

There's a max of three teams per owner. Here's the rules for this contest again:

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)

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

Win (W) 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

This might be your best chance to win an NFBC Main Event entry. Signups are slow today as only three owners have jumped into this contest with 4 hours to go. Check it out:

https://www.fanball.com/contests/AoHPpPE

[Greg Ambrosius]

There's a problem with the wallet on Fanball tonight, so to enter a team make sure you put in a $50 deposit into your account first and then enter your lineup. It will take the $50 from your account and you will be good to go.

Because of the wallet issues we have few teams entered right now. Jump in for good ROI tonight.

[Yah Mule]

Nice rally!

Four spots left. Still time for a sell out.

Congratulations to Erik Sviggum of Altoona, Wisconsin for winning Friday's NFBC/Fanball $50/50 Teams Contest. Erik's team scored 236 points to win the FREE 2020 NFBC Main Event entry plus $50. Erik is an NFBC member who hasn't played in the Main Event before, so this is another new entrant to our signature contest through this DFS contest. Erik is currently competing in the $1,000 Draft Champions League and will enjoy this Main Event entry next year.

Rian Lange finished second with 187.5 points to win $300, while Mark Koval was one point back to finish third and win $100. Great job everyone and thanks to every owner for helping us fill up this contest after we had some Registration issues during the morning and early afternoon. We added 38 teams in the last two hours to fill out this contest. Great job and we'll be back again this Friday for another effort, this time with no issues on Registration.

Here's the final standings:
