Okay, we surpassed our goals for the $50 contest and the overall prize pool will definitely be going up there. We may turn off Registration at some point, so don't delay if you still want a team there. We have 60+ spots left for the $75 contest and we're 37 spots away from our goal for the $200 contest. Don't wait until the last minute if you want to secure a spot in any of these contests. Thanks all.

Here's the current signup totals:

$200 - 173 teams
$75 - 140 teams
$50 - 216 teams

Go to fantasy911.com to Register your team. The last possible time to sign up is just before the 4:30 ET kickoff on Saturday. Lineups must be set 5 minutes before kickoff. Thanks all.

THANKS EVERYONE!!

It sure looks like all three contests are going to sell out and maybe even go beyond our stated goals. The $50 contest has already gone over our goals by 50+ teams and thus that prize pool will jump by $2,000+. The $200 contest is also nearing our goal of 210 teams and thus additional prize money could be going into those overall prizes. Great job everyone.

Here are the current signup totals (I'm trying to keep up with the individual owners' names on page 1):

$200 - 202 teams
$75 - 180 teams
$50 - 261 teams

We already have almost 100+ teams than we had all of last year at the lower price levels. We should top 650+ teams shortly and will be happy if we top 700 teams this year. Wow, awesome job everyone.

I'll update the totals as often as I can over the next 18+ hours. Jump in soon to secure a spot in any of these contests and to give yourself enough time to fill out your Week 1 starting lineups. Thanks.

WOW, what a great night of signups for our NFFC Post-Season Contest. The overall prize pool will now be expanding for the $200 and $50 contests and pretty soon it will be expanding for the $75 contest. All three contests are going to easily surpass our goals of 210 teams.

We'll post final prize payouts after we know how many teams we finished with in each contest. We will continue to take signups today until around 4:25 pm ET. That's when you'll need to lock in your team and set your starting lineups for Week 1. Once lineups lock at that point they are locked for the entire weekend. On Monday you'll be able to start making moves for Week 2. Good luck all.

Here are the total number of teams as of this morning:

$200 - 214 teams (overall prizes will be expanding)
$75 - 205 teams (expect overall prizes to increase)
$50 - 287 teams (overall prizes will be expanding)

That's over 700 teams and we still have 8+ hours to go. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! This should be a great time and we look forward to crowning THREE champions this post-season with our largest prize pool to date. Good luck all.

quick question. i know you need 1 players from each team week 1. in week 2 when you go to 2/team, do you still need at least 1 player from each playoff team?

With each round the number of players you can have per team increases by 1.
