The NFFC is happy to announce today that we are introducing another new contest in 2025!! It's called the NFFC Gladiator Championship and anyone who has played in the NFBC has an idea of what this contest is.

The NFFC Gladiator Championship is a draft and hold league where EVERY PLAYER ON YOUR ROSTER scores points for 17 straight weeks. The teams with the most points after Week 17 win the league prizes and the overall prizes. Just draft and be done and you could turn $50 into $7,500.

Are you not entertained? :lol:

We will unveil the Contest Overview once we roll the site over to 2025, but here's the details of the contest:

NFFC GLADIATOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Entry Fee: $50 Per Team
League Size: 12 Teams
Rounds: 14
Draft: KDS and Third Round Reversal
Contest Size: 2,100 Teams (175 leagues)
Time: Extended Drafts & Nightly Drafts February through April before the NFL Draft
Scoring: All 14 players on each team score points for 17 weeks
Prizes: Pay Top 3 in Each League and Top 25 overall

Here's the basic premise: These are 12-Team, 14-Round drafts at $50 per team and we'll pay league and overall prizes. We'll also use KDS and Third Round Reversal and cost of entry is $50 per team. Drafts will be held from February until the last week in April right before the NFL Draft. We expect to sell all 2,100 spots before the NFL Draft and will provide Extended drafts and nightly drafts of the Gladiator.

Here's the kicker: All 14 players score for your team every week for 17 weeks. There are no Set Lineup decisions. No Free Agent pickups. You draft and you're done. This is a straight points league and teams with the most points win the league prizes and the overall prizes. Draft and be done. All 14 players score EVERY WEEK for 17 weeks. Pick players that will stay healthy in the Gladiator ring. Again, are you not entertained?

These should be quick Extended drafts that are done in 3-4 days and our nightly drafts could be done in less than an hour. 12 Teams, 14 Rounds = 168 players. SuperFlex lineups with everyone scoring includes:

1 - QB
2 - RBs
3 - WRs
1 - TE
1 - Team Kicker
1 - Team Defense/Special Teams
1 - SuperFlex (QB, RB, WR, TE)
4 - Flex (RB, WR, TE)

Here's the prizes:

League Prizes:
1st Place - $200
2nd Place - $100
3rd Place - FREE 2026 NFFC Gladiator Entry ($50 value)

Overall Prizes:
1st - $7,500
2nd - $2,000
3rd - $1,500
4th - $1,400
5th - $1,300
6th - $1,200
7th - $1,100
8th - $1,000
9th - $900
10th - $850

13th - $700
14th - $650
15th - $600
16th - $500
17th - $450
18th - $400
19th - $350
20th - $300
21st - $250
22nd - $200
23rd - $150
24th - $100
25th - $50

We will not go above 2,100 teams and 175 leagues, so once these are sold out this contest will be shut off. The industry is definitely trending toward more early off-season football drafts that are quicker and easier to play. This is Best Ball on steroids because all 14 of your players will score points for all 17 weeks of the NFFC season. Now the key is to keep all 14 players healthy and productive as long as possible, thus the Gladiator namesake. Stay alive, stay healthy, stay productive and you could turn $50 into $7,500 by season's end.

Enjoy and good luck everyone. We are excited to debut this contest once the 2025 site rolls over. Should be a fun few months of drafting.
