SOLD OUT: 2023 NFFC Silver Bullet, $50,000 Prize

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Apr 06, 2023 12:06 pm

We really believe that the 2023 NFFC Silver Bullet is going to sell out again and quite possibly earlier than in past years. With the record $50,000 grand prize on the line and only 252 unique spots available, this contest has a chance to sell out early this summer.

We are limiting this contest to 21 leagues with 252 unique owners competing in the industry's only single-entry national championship. You get one shot -- one bullet -- at the $50,000 grand prize and you have 21 leagues to grab a spot.

We have added one more league this year and have increased the entry fee from $1,000 per team to $1,200 per team, which allows us to grow the overall prize pool and the league prize pool. The grand prize has increased from $35,000 to $50,000 and the top league prize is now $5,000, up from $4,000 in past years. We are also paying the Top 10 teams in the Championship Round this year.

Joe Lostrangio of Langhorne, Pennsylvania defeated a field of 240 unique owners in 2022 to win the $35,000 grand prize as we filled all 20 leagues. Joe became our fourth champion in the industry's only single-entry, season-long national championship, joining Mike Santos, Lane McVey and Thomas Libretti.

This year we will again have live events in New York City and Las Vegas, along with Online drafts. Leagues fill on a first-come, first-served basis and once a league of 12 is full we will take it off Registration. We are expecting 21 unique dates and times. We are NOT expanding beyond 21 leagues this year, so secure your spot early if you know you are going to compete in the NFFC Silver Bullet.

For the fourth straight year in this unique format, we are determining the Top 2 Championship Round qualifiers and league winners by total points scored during Weeks 1 through 14. The team that scores the most points in each league will win $5,000 and an entry into the Championship Round. The team that scores the next most points will win $2,400 and earn a spot in the Championship Round. And third place will be determined by the team with the best h2h record in the league IF it wasn't one of the top two teams. If one of the top two scoring teams also had the best h2h record during the regular season, then the third highest points team earns $600 and a spot in the Championship Round. So basically h2h champion only determines the third place qualifier IF it had the best record and wasn't one of the top two scoring teams in the league.

In most cases, the top three highest scoring teams in each NFFC Silver Bullet league will earn the league prize money and advance to the Championship Round. This is a very heavy points format, as you can see. We also have added a Wild Card Qualifier for the Championship Round, which we first implemented in 2020. Every team that finishes in the Top 15% in Total Points after Week 14 gets into the Championship Round even if it finished lower than third in its league. That again helps in our points heavy scoring format.

The grand prize winner will earn $50,000 and we'll pay prize money to the Top 10 teams in the Championship Round. There is no Consolation Round in the NFFC Silver Bullet.

Now let's use this thread to keep track of the signups and the available spots left in this contest. Some of the Las Vegas leagues are getting early love already and once they are full we will take them off Registration. Enter early, secure your spot early and you still don't have to pay anything until August 1st. It's that easy.

NOW ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT in the Las Vegas Silver Bullet League on Friday, September 8th at 7 pm PT. I'm loving the interest we're getting in the live Silver Bullet leagues in Las Vegas this year!!!

We already have three full Silver Bullet leagues in Las Vegas and this is likely the last one we'll offer at Park MGM. Jump in soon if you want to take your one shot at the $50,000 grand prize live with us because once this league is full we are taking it off Registration. Thanks all and good luck in the industry's only single-entry, season-long national championship.

We now have 91 teams locked and loaded for the 2023 NFFC Silver Bullet Championship, which this year has a record $50,000 grand prize. Secure your spot when you have time because the industry's only single-entry, season-long championship is definitely going to sell out. Good luck.

Re: 148 SPOTS LEFT: 2023 NFFC Silver Bullet, $50,000 Prize

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Mon Aug 14, 2023 12:40 pm

Just a heads up that we have over 100 signups already for the NFFC Silver Bullet Championship, leaving us with only 148 spots left. Since every player gets only one entry in this single-entry national championship, that means that only 148 more of you can enter this contest!!

This is always a jigsaw puzzle that we have to fit perfectly, this year into 21 full leagues. If you wait until the end, you may have to move around into the final available leagues. But jump in early and you could fill a league that is close to filling already.

Anyway, let's sell out all 21 leagues and have a great battle for the record $50,000 grand prize. Our first Silver Bullet Championship league of the season is this Wednesday at 9:30 pm ET and it will be livestreamed by the ShipChasing.com crew. Enjoy.

The next available Silver Bullet league is Saturday, August 26th at 9 pm ET. NOW 8 SPOTS LEFT. Let's fill that one up and keep it rolling through September 9th. Thanks all and enjoy.

Here's the current signup list for the next available league:

Re: 124 SPOTS LEFT: 2023 NFFC Silver Bullet, $50,000 Prize

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Mon Aug 21, 2023 7:45 am

We are now more than HALF FULL for the 2023 NFFC Silver Bullet as we have 128 of 252 spots filled. This is the industry's only single-entry, season-long national championship, which means we have spots for 252 unique owners and that's it.

We still have to fit this jigsaw puzzle together and get everyone into full leagues, so keep an eye on the dates and times that are starting to fill and don't be left out of this great contest. This year we have a record $50,000 grand prize and a top league prize of $5,000.

Our next contest that will fill is this Saturday's 9 pm ET Silver Bullet Online League. NOW ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT. Please set your KDS preferences after signing up and look for draft spots shortly after the league fills. Let's get this one:
