NEW: Set Lineup Change For Both NFFC Post-Season Contests
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2022 9:16 am
NEW FOR THIS YEAR: Due to Covid and the fact that the first round is now being spread over three days, we have changed the deadline for the NFFC $200 and $40 Post-Season Hold 'Em Contests.
In the past, all of your lineups locked before the first playoff game on Saturday and all of your lineups had to have all 12 starters locked before that game.
However, this year we are locking players at their scheduled kickoff times for each team. That means you only have to lock in one Raider and one Bengal by 4:30 pm ET on Saturday and you will then have time to finalize your lineups after that. New England is at Buffalo on Saturday night with an 8:15 ET kickoff and you must lock in those two players before that kickoff. This continues for each Sunday game and for the Cardinals-Rams game on Monday night.
We are doing this mainly because of Covid. We don't want to have people lock in their rosters on Saturday afternoon and then find out on Sunday that several players can't play on Sunday or Monday because of Covid. This will avoid anyone starting a player who is declared out for their game either because of Covid or injury. The same lock times will remain for Rounds 2 and 3 as we have multiple games on multiple days for Round 2.
The only drawback is that you won't be able to see other teams' lineups until after the Monday game kicks off. You'll still be able to see the scores of each team on Live Standings, but you won't know everyone's lineup until the final rosters are locked. But we feel the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages during these crazy times.
Hope this helps. Thanks all and good luck.
