Overview
The National Fantasy Football Championship Kickoff Gridiron League will consist of 12 teams, with each team compiling 26 NFL players through a serpentine draft, using 3RR (3rd Round Reversal). Teams will compete in a year-long competition for the highest number of points, accumulating points from Week 1 through Week 16 from its highest scoring players from the 10 required positions. The team with the highest point total in each league after Week 16 will be determined the league champion.

This league will pay off the top three finishers and the cost of entry is $1,000 per team. An additional $500 will be collected separately from each owner along with the bids from each team for draft spots in Round 1 and Round 2 to form an additional prize pool. That prize pool will pay the top scoring team in each of the 16 weeks (1/16th of the prize pool each week).

The unique twist to this league is that NFFC owners will use real money to bid for their draft spots in Rounds 1 and 2, with all of that money being divided up and awarded to each of the 16 weekly winners (plus the additional $500 fee per owner). Bidding will be done for pick No. 1 in Round 1 and whoever wins that bid will pay that amount into a side pot and will immediately make a pick. Then pick 2 of Round 1 goes on the auction block and is bid on with the winning bid total also going into the side pot. That owner also makes his/her pick right away. This goes on through Round 1 with all bids being made in $10 increments. Then a new set of bidding starts in Round 2 using actual dollars and the spot you win in Round 2 is the spot you have for the rest of the Gridiron draft. The first pick being put up in Round 2 is No. 12, which will be the first pick in Round 2 and in Round 3. Open bidding is done for that pick and the amount of the winning player goes into the side pot. That owner then makes his pick and we continue this for all 12 picks of Round 2. Round 3 starts with the 12th pick since we are using Third Round Reversal and continues in serpentine fashion through Round 26.

12-team top 3 season payout:
1st $5,600
2nd $2,800
3rd $1,500

Weekly payouts will be calculated as shown in the League Overview above. In the 2015 12-team Gridiron, weekly high score payouts were $625 based on a total side pool of $10,000. Individual bids ranged from $10 to $880.

Greg, Matt Modica would like to re-enter the league. We'll just need you or Tom on the phone for the bidding rounds since he still can't make it out to LV.
