Setting Lineups For NFFC Championship Rounds!!

Okay, heading into the NFFC playoffs here's what you need to know:

** If you are in any of the NFFC Championship Rounds (Classic, Primetime, Online), you will now find a new BOLDED link for the NFFC Championship Round. It will be a separate link from the one you used during the regular season. You MUST set your starting lineup on this link for the Championship Round. If your league standings have already been finalized and you are in the Championship Round, just use that BOLDED Championship Round link to set your starting lineup in Weeks 14, 15 and 16.

Now, if you are in the Championship Round AND in a league playoff, you need to set your starting lineups separately. We do this so that you have a chance to win your league title and possibly the overall title. It's possible that in Week 16 you may want to set a different starting lineup to guarantee your league title than your overall starting lineup, which may need to take more chances to win the grand prize. So please set your starting lineup for your league matchup on the link you used all season and then set your starting lineup on the bolded Championship Round link for your playoff team.

If you have any questions about this, contact me at gambrosius@stats.com or post them here. Thanks and CONGRATS to all of the teams in the national Championship Rounds.

Greg,

You are right on top of things. I just came to the message board to ask that exact question. Thanks.

Awesome - Just TWO quick questions Greg -

1 - If you are in a three week playoff run for a league championship, do you both start even? OR does the point leader start with their weekly average? I would think we start even - Just wondering.

2 - Why are their TWO BOLD listings for my Championship Round? I have a co-manager. Could that be the reason? Does it matter then which one we set the line up for then?

Thanks -

Wiljiro

I also have extra links which I'm guessing is for consumers owners but yes does it matter which one we use to set lineup?

Thanks

Yes, for the league playoffs, it's total points for Weeks 14 through 16. Good luck there.

We can look at that. You should have just one link for each team in the Championship Round.

JP, my initial post in Mauraders' thread was incorrect. Please see this link.

I will bring this thread to the top again to make sure everyone knows how you need to set your starting lineups for the playoffs. If you are in the Championship Round of any contest, you have two links on your team pages now. The BOLD Championship Round link is the one you must use for the playoffs. The other team link can be used if you are in league playoffs. If you have any questions about this, contact me at gambrosius@stats.com.

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND!!!! That's the one to use.
