$60 Hold 'Em Post-Season Contest Signup List

[Greg Ambrosius]

The NFFC is hosting its annual Post-Season Contest in conjunction with Fantasy911.com once again with a $5,000 first place prize up for grabs in the $60 entry fee contest. It's a great, great contest with a unique format. Scores multiply by the number of weeks a player is on your roster and you have to start out with just one player from each of the 12 playoff teams. There is a LOT of strategy involved here.

I'll post the rules shortly, but feel free check everything out at www.fantasy911.com. The rules are there, the prize breakdown is there for each price level and so is the Registration page. Sign up online and you can take as many teams as you'd like at each level.

Here are the rules:

Fantasy911.com: Official Rules and Regulations of the
Fantasy911.com Fantasy Football Championship
Hold 'Em Post-Season Tournament

1. Overview: The Fantasy911.com Fantasy Football Championship Hold 'Em Post-Season Tournament in conjunction with Sportingnews.com and NFFC will begin with the first wild card games on Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011 and continue through the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2011 Points will be accumulated throughout the playoffs and the team with the most total points wins the grand prize. Second through fifth place prizes will also be paid based on total points. Each week the number of points an NFL player earns for you will be multiplied by the number of weeks he has been on your roster, rewarding fantasy players who correctly can predict top players on this year's Super Bowl teams. Players who have first-round byes automatically earn two times their total points during Week 2 of the playoffs.

2. Draft: Owners must manage a team of 12 players throughout the playoffs to accumulate the most league points. Owners will initially complete their roster by selecting one player from each team that qualified for the playoffs. In the second round as teams are eliminated from the playoffs, owners can have as many as two players from the same team on their Hold 'Em roster. In week 3 of the playoffs , owners can have three players per team from their roster and during Super Bowl teams can have a maximum of four players per team (for a total of 8 players).

3. Roster Requirements: Maximum of 12 players at all times except the Super Bowl! (8). No more than one player per NFL team in the first round and no more than two players per NFL team in the second round. In the Championship Round, teams will be limited to 3 players per team (12 total players) and in the Super Bowl they will be limited to 4 players per team (8 total players).

4. Starting Lineup Requirements: Starting lineups will consist of:

* 2 Quarterbacks
* 4 Running Backs
* 4 Receivers (includes Tight Ends)
* 1 Kicker
* 1 Team Defense/Specials Team

5. Scoring: Players can accumulate points in a number of ways:
PASSING:

* .05 points for every yard passing (works out to 1 point every 20 yards).
* 6 points for every passing touchdown
* minus 1 point for every interception and lost fumble

RUSHING:

* .10 points for every yard rushing (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
* 6 points for every rushing TD
* minus 1 point for every lost fumble
* 6 points for a recovered offensive fumble for a touchdown (RB, QB, WR, TE)

RECEIVING:

* .10 points for every yard receiving (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
* 6 points for every receiving TD
* 1 point for every reception for WRs, Tight Ends and QBs
* 0.5 points for every reception for RBs
* minus 1 point for every lost fumble

KICKING:

* 1 point for every extra point
* 3 points for every field goal from 1-30 yards
* 3 points for every field goal plus .10 points for every yard after 30 yards (i.e. a 47-yard field goal would be worth 4.7 points)

DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS:

* 1 point for every sack
* 2 points for every interception or opponents' fumble recovery
* 6 points for every touchdown (interception return, defensive fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked field goal return, blocked punt return). All special teams and defensive points are awarded to the team responsible, not the individual player. Should a kicker, punter or field goal holder throw a pass off a fake attempt, however, the offensive output for that offensive play would go towards the individual player, not the specials team. Also, any lost fumble or 'muff' on a specials team play does not result in negative points for that individual player.
* 2 points for every safety
* 12 points for a shutout by the entire team
* 8 points for allowing 2-7 points by the entire team
* 4 points for allowing 8-12 points by the entire team
* 2 points for allowing 13-17 points by the entire team

6. Free Agent Acquisitions: After week one of the playoffs, you can pick up new players to fill out your playoff roster. In the second round as teams are eliminated from the playoffs, owners can have as many as two players from the same team on their Hold 'Em roster, 3 in the Championship Round, and 4 in the Super Bowl. Transactions are unlimited each week.

7. Hold 'Em Multipliers: Each week during the contest, fantasy points are multiplied by the number of weeks each player has been on your roster. So if you pick Peyton Manning to be one of your starting QBs in the first week of the playoffs, you would earn his points from week one. If the Colts won that wild card game, his points in the second round of playoffs would be multiplied by two. If the Colts advanced to the AFC Championship Game, his points would be multiplied by three and then by four if the Colts reached the Super Bowl. Any team that receives a first-round bye, automatically has their points multiplied by two during their first game. Once one of your players are eliminated from the playoffs, you can pick up a new player for that upcoming round, but the multiplier would begin at one because you just added him to your roster.

8. Roster Time Frame: All starting rosters must be finalized five minutes before that weekend's first playoff game. No lineup changes will be allowed after that first kickoff.

9. Number of Bid Limits: There is no limit to the number of new free agents you can add each week.

10. Tied Bids: In the event that there is a tie for the grand prize, the following tie-breakers will be used:

1. Predicted score of the Super Bowl game.
2. Highest weekly score of the teams during the playoffs (i.e. one team had a high of 220 points and the other team's high score was 215, the 220 would win).
3. Highest score of the teams involved from the Super Bowl.
4. Highest score of the teams involved from the third round games.
5. Highest score of the teams involved from the second round games.
6. Highest score of the teams involved from the first round games.
7. Split the prize money in question.

11. League Structure: The league will consist of all participating teams without any limitation of the number. The basis prize breakdown is set forth in Paragraph 12 which follows.

Hi Greg,

Sounds like a great contest. I tried to sign up on the website but was having problems with the credit card. I called them and they said you had to run it. How's best to get in touch with you?
