425 Signups In The 2024 NFBC Post-Season Contest

[Greg Ambrosius]

The NFBC Post-Season Hold 'em Contest returns for a sixth straight season after selling out the last five seasons. For the second straight year, we'll have a $20,000 grand prize and total prize money close to $50,000.

Prizes will be based this year on 400 teams after hitting a record high of 470 teams in 2023. We'll pay out the Top 20 finishers this year, so let's sell this one out again and maybe go beyond our goals.

Cost of entry is $150 per team and you can have multiple teams. The one change for this contest that we added in 2019 and will use again this year is that we will lock lineups starting with the Divisional Round Series, NOT BEFORE the Wild Card games. MLB first expanded the playoffs last year to six teams per league and that will be the case again this year. The Wild Card Round will again be three game series starting on Tuesday, October 1st, but we are NOT setting our lineups until the Wild Card series are done. This gives us a few more days for signups after the regular season concludes and still leaves us with four teams from each league to pick our Round 1 lineups.

All four Divisional Round series will start on Saturday, October 5th and Registration will close that day before the first pitch of the first game. The Post-Season Contest will consist of three rounds of play: Divisional Round series, AL and NL Championship Round series and the World Series.

The Divisional Round series will all start on Saturday, October 5th and NFBC prize money will already be on your Player Accounts. Players will lock at their scheduled start times of their first Divisional Round games that weekend, so plan accordingly.

This will also allow players who won money during the NFBC season to use prize money to sign up for Post-Season Contest teams. We will get prize money on your accounts before the start of the Divisional Round games, so feel free to use that money if you'd like. If you know you are going to win prize money and want to secure teams before that prize money is allocated, just contact me, Tom or Geoff and we'll take care of those signups for you and then take the money off your Player Account once it is there.

Okay, now onto the format, in case you missed it.

This is a Hold 'em Contest which rewards owners for each additional round those players are on your team. You are limited to the number of players per team you can have on your team per round, but the points double for players who advance from Round 1 to Round 2 and then triple if they are still on your roster for the World Series. Picking the right players in Round 1 from the right teams is the key to winning this contest.

Here's the contest rules link and the Registration link:

https://nfc.shgn.com/rules/2008#
https://nfc.shgn.com/signup/baseball?for=0;2008

Owners will select 16 players for Round 1 from the pool of available players from the eight remaining MLB playoff teams. There is no draft for this contest, nor any salary cap. You pick who you want and build your roster that way.

The starting lineup/positions will consist of 10 hitters and 6 pitchers, with the same positions and position eligibility of standard NFBC leagues, except for one less catcher. All 16 players on a roster for a round are considered "active." There are no bench positions.

1 Catcher
1 First Baseman
1 Second Baseman
1 Shortstop
1 Third Baseman
4 Outfielders
1 Utility Player
6 Pitchers

This is a points-based scoring system. Players can accumulate points in the following ways:

Hitters
Single - 1 point
Double - 2 points
Triple - 3 points
Home Run - 4 points
OUT (AB - H) minus .25 point
RBI - 1 point
Run - 1 point
Walk - 1 point
Stolen Base - 1 point
HBP - 1 point

Pitchers
Win - 4 points
Save - 4 points
Earned Run - minus 1 point
Strikeout - 1 point
IP - 1 point (1/2 = .3334, 2/3 = .6667)

After Round 1, owners can replace any player on their roster that was eliminated from the playoffs with another player. However, that new addition starts at 1x their points. All remaining players get double their points in Round 2 and triple their points in Round 3. Rosters can also be updated with new players before Round 3, but again those new additions start at 1x.

There are limits to how many players you can have per team per round of the MLB playoffs. They are:

Round 1: Divisional Games
Minimum of one player from each of the eight remaining teams
Maximum of three players from one team

Round 2: League Championship Series
Minimum of two players from each team
Maximum of six players from one team

Round 3: World Series
Maximum of 10 players from each team and minimum of 6 players from each team

Here's the prize pool:

NFBC Post-Season Contest:
1 - $20,000
2 - $5,000
3 - $4,000
4 - $3,500
5 - $3,000
6 - $2,500
7 - $2,000
8 - $1,500
9 - $1,200
10 - $1,100
11 - $1,000

17 - $350
18 - $300
19 - $250
20 - $200
21 - $175
22 - $150

We look forward to another great NFBC Post-Season Contest and paying out new winners just before the launch of the 2025 NFBC season. It's great to be drafting baseball year-round. Good luck and enjoy the NFBC Post-Season Hold 'em Contest.

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are now more than half full for the 2024 NFBC Post-Season Contest. Remember that registration ends on Saturday morning just before the first pitch of the first Divisional Round game. Plan accordingly.

Players will lock just before their first games on Saturday, so you have some flexibility after Registration is closed. Once tonight's Mets-Brewers game concludes, only players from the remaining eight teams will be in the player pool. Feel free to build your Round 1 lineups after tonight's game. Good luck and enjoy.

Oh, and use your prize money from the 2024 regular season to pay for these. We'll both save money that way.

Okay, we're shooting for 400 teams. We still have a long way to go, but I have a feeling we will get there. Thanks all and good luck.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Great job everyone as we have reached our goal of 400 teams in the 2024 NFBC Post-Season Contest. Registration remains open until 1 pm ET and the additional teams will allow us to grow the overall prize pool. Thanks all and good luck.

Remember that players lock just before their scheduled start time of today's games. You MUST have Tigers and Guardians locked in before 1:05 pm ET and then you can still adjust the rest of your lineup before the other games start. Plan accordingly.

Awesome job everyone. Thanks for selling out this contest once again.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Just an FYI: We are now paying down 22 spots in the NFBC Post-Season Contest and we gave a little more love to 10th through 20th overall as well. Enjoy and everyone and good luck in the Championship Round and the World Series.
