NFFC Satellite Leagues Coming Soon!

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Jul 06, 2010 12:06 pm

We are creating NFFC Satellite League rules links, signup pages and signup dates now and should be able to unveil our schedule soon. We will start the satellite league season with the first drafts in late July and try to catch up on the season in a hurry.

We are going to try to simplify the satellite schedule because we know we already have a lot of offerings now. All satellite leagues will be 14-team formats, 3RR/KDS, at the following price levels:

$125 Pay Top 3
$250 Pay Top 3
$500 Pay Top 3

League payouts were 80 percent last year and we'll at least match that this year and maybe better it!! :D Stay tuned for more details. All satellite leagues will be held on our new NFFC draft software which will be unveiled in the next week. Geoff Stein and Tom Kessenich will take care of our satellite leagues and one or both of them will monitor every online draft. As I mentioned in another thread, we'll also provide Slow Drafts as soon as the software is ready.

Today we decided that the 14-team satellite league format was very important to the success of the NFFC and we chose to stay with our bread and butter format. We have also decided not to host a 10-team Cutline Championship as previously announced for a number of reasons. We just feel like the 14-team format is what our customers are more interested in and now just wasn't the time to try to grow the 10-team format and the cutline format. There's definitely a market for that game, but now just wasn't the time for us to jump into it.

Instead, we'll concentrate on satellite leagues that pay only league prizes and with good payback percentages. Look for the list of offerings soon and let's kick off the satellite league season in good fashion. Enjoy the free mock draft software that will be live soon and enjoy the ADPs that will come with it. The software looks great and I can hardly wait to unveil it soon.

Thanks for your patience all and let's rock the satellite league season.

Just a heads up that we will be taking down the Cutline Championship link and replacing that with a new NFFC Satellite Leagues link on the home page. We'll then link to the various $125, $250 and $500 leagues. Sorry for the confusion and we apologize to those who were planning on competing in the Cutline Championship, but hopefully the 14-team format will still be appealing.

Greg,

Thank you, very much, for the 14-Team Satellites.

Any chance of getting $375 Satellites (or whatever price point you need) where the Top 3 all win a Free NFFC 2011 Main Event Entry?

Thank you,
Mark

The only team in NFFC Main Event history to win 11 games and not cash. :(

1683.8 pts. in 2009 is the record for a team with just 2 wins. Old record - 1479.95

Follow Me Yes, we will offer a $375 Draft Champions Slow Draft with the top three finishers winning $1,400 in cash or a free entry into next year's 2011 NFFC Classic. That won't be on the signup page because we don't want too many offerings, but we'll use the message boards for that signup and then Tom and I will work our magic on the back-end when we sign you up. I know we can fill at least one of these leagues and maybe more. Thanks all.

NFFC Satellite Leagues Coming Soon!

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Wed Jul 07, 2010 4:56 am

We have raised the prize payout for first place slightly in each league to get us closer to an 82 percent payout for the NFFC satellite leagues. We felt it was important to reward your patience here this season!! :D We also will run the $125 Pay Top 3 leagues just like the $250 and $500 leagues where the top h2h team and total points teams are rewarded after Week 13. Then the top four teams advance to the league playoffs for a shot at three payouts. Should be a lot of fun. The $125 Draft Champions Leagues will be 16 weeks, paying top three finishers in total points:

$125 Draft Champions League:
1st: $950
2nd: $350
3rd: $125

$125 Pay Top 3:
1st: $800
2nd: $250
3rd: $125
H2H Champ After Week 13: $125
Total Points Champ After Week 13: $125

$250 Pay Top 3:
1st: $1,600
2nd: $500
3rd: $250
H2H Champ After Week 13: $250
Total Points Champ After Week 13: $250

$500 Pay Top 3:
1st: $3,200
2nd: $1,000
3rd: $500
H2H Champ After Week 13: $500
Total Points Champ After Week 13: $500
