So what is everyone looking for????? If we are trying to PROMOTE the NFFC and are trying to add more players,how would we do this? I don't understand how GG,who has won the MAIN EVENT in football, and EXCELED in baseball the past few years,whine about the current format.He should be PROMOTING this event and stating how GREAT it is AND recruiting other players to join in his success..The more players ,maybe the more $$$$$$$..

I think Gekko is being honest about what he thinks. If the NFFC can't handle honesty (I think it can) ... it is doomed anyway.

I would not play in a high stakes league based solely on H2H unless I hit the lotto or something and had more cash to burn. I think it adds more luck which turns me off.

I like this challenge as it now stands but I am a supporter of All-Play format for the high stakes market. I have even taken the NFFC event results from 2006 and plugged them into a spreadsheet to see what would have happened if something like this would have been in place. I took each week, listed the individual scores, ranked them and plugged in my AllPlay scoring system for all 16 weeks. The results are kind of fun to look at.

Maybe we can add another event to the slate next year and give it a spin?

I think there is definately an appeal to the me vs them H2H experience. I completely agree I would never compete in a high stakes event that were SOLELY H2H unless I had money to throw away. I think the NFFC has a great balance now between H2H and Total points.

Ps. Captain, I am in for the all play satellite.
