1. NFFC Content Panel. I promise to pick a group of 14-28 owners who are willing to talk about football year 'round and will use their input on rankings and other content online and in our Fantasy Sports Magazine. Don't volunteer for that job just yet Originally posted by Renman:

Greg,

1- I think the NFFC content panel is a good idea for obvious reasons and nothing else needs to be said about that. I am more than happy to be part of an active message board during the offseason. Nicely done!

Very good idea ... it helps offset QB junk yards.

I guarantee that the NFFC will grow more than 25% in 2007. And that's coming from our grand champion!! I love it.

If we grow by 25% next year, the top prize will definitely be rewarded. I'm working on a plan that will make our growth much more than that, but it will take some doing to make it happen. Just keep the suggestions coming and we'll try to get it all done. Event committees, increased grand prizes, increased league prizes, I listen to them all. Now making them work while guaranteeing the grand prize is another thing, but you all know I'll try to get it done. And trust me, I'm trying right now.

Where will our growth come from? I think a little bit from existing players, but the key is to tap into those 12 million fantasy football players who don't know what a great event we have. It's my job to get the word out and let people know we have a great, great event/contest. That's on me during the next nine months and I have to get it done.

My problem with defensive scoring stems mostly from defensive/special teams TDs. I would love to see these minimized or even eliminated. To me, the less predictable something is, the fewer points it should score. That's why I hate leagues that reward oddball things like safeties with an unusual amount of points.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but what about a win bonus for a defense that allows less than a certain amount of points. A defense that wins 14-7 should definitely score more than one that loses 7-3, right? Maybe? Like the old argument about a pitcher giving up just enough runs to win, even if it is 10-8.

Suggestions.

A player profile where you can click on a name like "Teds Cracked Head" and see that his name is Rob and he won the main event in 2006!

A prize profile by league so we can access the league payouts for the special leagues with one click.

You might consider an online version of the main event for 2007. less overhead and no barriers to entry. You might be able to fill hundreds of leagues. Maybe $250 entry fee, 4200 entries, $250,000 grand prize?

[/QUOTE]Greg,

Would it be possible to have a two-tiered system of membership ... those that have played in a contest have rights to post pics etc, and "guest" accounts do not?

Greg or Tom

Any possibility of applying any winnings towards next years entry? This will guarantee my return to NFFC and my accountant has suggested this to decrease my tax liability.

And also do the guys who win a free entry get W-9?

Thanks in advance.
