This also has a very unlike nffc payout percentage in the dreadful 75 percent area. I thought you always tried to stay over 80? Considering no draft mods or anything needed this is pretty unnecessary. Already signed up before calculating this but probably wouldn’t have played as I don’t do less than 80 typically.
It's not 75 percent. It's 80 percent, based on 1,600 teams at $200 each and $255,000 in prizes. We'd love to go higher than that, but when you are paying licensing fees in 16 different states it adds costs to running legal pay-to-play fantasy games. Hope this helps.
Sorry, I must have misadded twice yesterday in a row when I got 243400 or it changed since then. Now I added it again and it is 253400 which would be 79 percent if 1600 max. Oddly it says 1700 on contest overview on mobile phone, 1600 on desktop. Big difference as it is all the way down to 74 percent if 1700. It seems like it is 1600 though. 79 is not 80 but close enough, although it still seems too low for a contest that is not costly at all to run with no moderators. Just one man's opinion. You are not the only ones taking the postseason payouts low though either.

Mine is sorted by points, you may have to click on the Pts column to sort by points.
Thanks, I tried that. But all Pts and PPG are zeroes.

You are correct Chad, it is $253,400, not $255,000. 79% instead of 80 as I thought. Prizes are based on 1600 teams (not 1700) and hopefully we sell out. There is risk in every contest we offer with guaranteed prizes, but I think demand is there to sell out and if it goes above that we will pay at an 80 percent rate on additional teams. If state-by-state licensing fees weren't there (no other competitor is licensed in all the states we are) it would allow us to pay higher prize percentages. It was easier in the old days before these fees.

Let me see if we can get their 2018 totals and PPG loaded in those stat categories.

Okay, this is fixed now. You can now sort by points and PPG.

The set lineup page doesn't work on my iPad for the postseason contest. It shows the set lineup header at the top but then the page is blank. Anybody else have that problem or know how to fix it?

Daren, IT logged into your account with an iPad and are having no issues. Maybe try logging out and logging back in and be sure your software is upgraded.
