SOLD OUT: 12-Team Kickoff Gridiron League 2

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are ECSTATIC to see the interest in our 14-team and 12-team Kickoff Gridiron Leagues the last two years. Thanks to KJ Duke who handles the weekly payouts for both of these leagues and who started up this concept in the NFFC. This is really a great kickoff event for the Second Weekend in Las Vegas and we're now glad to sandwich events around the Thursday Night NFL season opener.

The good news is that we are SOLD OUT for the 14-team Kickoff Gridiron League that will start at 1 pm PT in the Bellagio Executive Penthouse Suite. This is the earliest we have ever sold out this one, so thanks much. We also have SOLD OUT the 12-team Kickoff Gridiron League that will be held after the NFL opener. We actually have three other teams signed up and will keep that one open a little longer to see if there's enough interest in a second league. We'd have to find a new host room for that one, but can come up with something.

Here's the current signups and if you have interest in a second Kickoff Gridiron let us know. Maybe we move that second league to late Friday night and have some late night fun. That's a possibility as well. Let me know what you think.

Is there enough interest in a second NFFC 12-Team Kickoff Gridiron League on Thursday night after the NFL Opener in Las Vegas? I don't know if there is, but right now we have 4 owners who are signed up and willing to give it a try if we can do it. We may need to host this one in a ballroom since our Bellagio Executive Penthouse Suite has room for only one league, but that's not so bad. This one would again begin around 8 pm PT and would likely be done by around 11 pm PT.

No harm in trying, so sign up online or reach out to me at [email protected] if you have interest. It's a $1,000 entry fee and pays Top 3 just like a 12-team $1,000 Satellite League, but then you bid with actual money for your spots in the First Round and bid again with real money for your spots in the Second Round. Plus another $500 per team is added to the bidding pool to create a nice prize pool for the 16 weekly winners. The draft spot you get in the Second Round is what you have for the rest of the next 24 rounds in this best ball format. All of the money collected during the biddings in Rounds 1 and 2 plus $500 per team is then split up evenly for the 16 weekly top point winners. It's a great, great format and Third Round Reversal makes the bidding in Round 2 even more interesting. Come and join us if you can.

Here's the current signup list for the second league:

Yeah Greg, I would do a third league on Friday night if there's interest.

Yeah Greg, I would do a third league on Friday night if there's interest.

Okay, but let's see if we can get a second 12-team Kickoff Gridiron league going on Thursday night first. We have 5-6 guys who can do that on Thursday night and we'll do it in the Bellagio ballroom if needed. But Friday at 9 pm is also an option. Thanks.

[Greg Ambrosius]

We have already Sold Out the 14-Team Kickoff Gridiron League and the 12-Team Kickoff Gridiron League, so let's open things up for one more. Let's go for a second 12-Team Kickoff Gridiron League on Thursday, Sept. 6th right after the Falcons-Eagles NFL Opener. The location for this one is still to be determined, but we'll post as soon as we know.

NOW ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT in the 12-Team Kickoff Gridiron League 2. This one has a $1,000 entry fee that goes toward the league prizes, paying the Top 3 finishers of this best ball contest after Week 16. Then you also pay $500 plus whatever you spend for your picks in Rounds 1 and again in Round 2 into the pool. That money is distributed evenly to the 16 weekly winners with a payout percentage of 100 percent. KJ Duke handles that pot of gold.

Okay, let's fill this one up and have some major fun on that night. Who's in with this group?

NOW ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT in the second NFFC Kickoff Gridiron League that will be held on Thursday, Sept. 6th after the NFL game. This one likely will start around 9 pm PT and we're still working on the destination for this one. I should know that in the next week. But in the meantime, let's fill this one up and get rolling.

Just a friendly reminder that we're still looking for two more owners to compete in the NFFC 12-Team Kickoff Gridiron League 2 in Las Vegas on Thursday, Sept. 6th. This one will be held at the MGM Park after the game. $1,000 to enter, $500 to the draft slot bidding pot and then whatever you spend on bids in the auction. Great weekly prizes for the top team and a cool best ball format for 26 rounds. Who's interested in one of these final spots?

Sign up online or let me know. Thanks all and good luck.

[kjduke]

We don't want to disappoint these 10 guys ... a week to fill two more spots. Who wants to be a hero?

If any questions about the format, bidding ranges, etc, post or PM me.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, we have a couple of teams interested in filling this one up, so plan for this one to take place on Thursday night after the NFL game at MGM Park. I would say a 9 pm PT start time is in the works. Last year we finished this league in 2 hours, so plan accordingly. Thanks all.

It's a go. Now let's finalize the playing card.
