I didn't see Joe's post before he deleted it and moved it to the NFBC boards, thus I did not know the Combined Standings were a sore spot for you. Sorry if you had to explain it twice, but I think I had a valid question, plus I don't play fantasy baseball, so why would I even think to look on the NFBC boards.Greg Ambrosius wrote:I'm not sure why Combined Prizes became the topic of conversation on this thread, but no they aren't. As I've explained on the NFBC boards where Joe took this discussion, they are less than 1% of total revenue for two contests and were always planned as an add-on promotional expense that actually lowered our bottom line. They are helpful and they do help us grow the two contests, but read for yourself on the NFBC boards:RedRyder wrote:Is the prize money for the combined standings taken out of our entry fees? I never follow the combined standings and from reading the posts, don't even understand how they work now. Are they that much of a selling point? Are they really needed?
I have no problem with with the fee increase.

Hopefully we can get back to feedback on 2013's plans.
It became a topic because one of your contestants brought it up as a solution to a perceived problem. I commented on it because I didn't know how it works (still don't) or where the money came from (now I do)...really, again, valid questions. I shouldn't, nor others, be made to feel bad for bringing up a question.
