What Is Going To Happen To High-Stakes Fantasy Football?

For the record, I have full confidence in the NFFC experience going forward. I think the 3 city approach is a step in the right direction and all cities have had positive experiences. I don't think 600 teams is out of the question for a $750 price point as long as you have the marketing exposure. Mi...

What Is Going To Happen To High-Stakes Fantasy Football?

I agree and disagree with Marc here. I do believe the mainstream has a payment threshold of $1000. Something in the $600-1000 range is missing (to my knowledge) in the industry on a large scale. I think this is the sweet spot and offers the most staying power. People would be nuts to stay with WCFF ...

Preliminary 2011 Football Rankings

It's obvious to me that Tom likes the way Hines dances the Foxtrot. :D

1PPR, I have McCoy and Charles higher this year!

Finally! :D

I'll be sure to hop into these. Any chance of some 12 teamers too? Good prep for those playing in the 12-team formats later on.

Time To Consider PPR For RBs In The NFFC

I hope the Classic can survive without changing. Will it be able to draw an equal number of new contestants to the number who leave over time? With that said, I like the decision for the 12-team format. With so much specialization at the RB position, it makes drafting a pass-catching #2 in a RBBC mo...

Feedback Needed On DC And Auction Championship Prizes

I'm with Jules here. I like the stand-alone leagues. The less you take from the league prize fund for an overall payout the more inclined I am to play.

I will be skipping the MEs most likely for this reason and focusing on the "niche" DCs. A Super Satellite is interesting to me!

Handling FAAB Bids During Bye Weeks In 2011

Either way, please try to open the FAAB as early as possible. The crippling part for me is to have the FAAB window open after the Monday night game and then the short opportunity before the window closes on Wednesday.

Thanks for any consideration.

Guaranteed Overall Prizes

Glenn, I played $100 worth of $10 leagues. I wanted to try it out. I knew the rules, I wanted to try it out. It wasn't for me. When you say 7000 played, it sounds like you think that's a big number? Based on the low price points and huge marketing efforts, I'd say that 7000 is an epic fail consideri...

Guaranteed Overall Prizes

I get what you guys are saying, but I was once the "new guy" and I was drawn by the format, rules, league sizes, and draft locations. It wasn't the overall prize then nor now. I may be in the minority though. For the same reason, I don't play any of the lotteries as the lure of the top prize is over...
