Okay, if you only allow two teams per league into the Championship Round, then you'll have only 14 teams going for the $10,000 grand prize. That's basically 14 percent of the available teams making the Championship Round. That can certainly be seen as a positive or a negative, just like it was in the NFFC Classic for the first five years.

I've adjusted the rules to allow three teams per league in the Championship Round and four teams per league in the League playoffs. Both are Weeks 14-16. I've taken your input and adjusted the rules, but let's discuss this format for a bit. Here you go:

NFFC Auction Championship
The National Fantasy Football Championship Auction Leagues will consist of 14 teams, with each team compiling 19 NFL players using an imaginary $200 team budget. Teams will play every other team in their league once in head-to-head competition, with the team with the best overall record winning an $850 prize and the team with the most total points during the regular season also winning $850. One team can win both prizes if they accomplish both achievements. Tie-breakers for the head-to-head title is total points. The top four teams according to the criteria below after Week 13 advance to the league playoffs. The league playoff will be held Week 14 through Week 16. Teams will carry their weekly scoring average from the first 13 weeks of competition (i.e. 130.15 points) into the playoffs and then add their point totals from Weeks 14, 15 and 16 to that initial total to determine the league champion. The top THREE teams from each league after Week 13 will also advance to the Championship Round for additional prize money including a guaranteed $10,000 grand prize. Teams will carry their weekly scoring average from Weeks 1-13 into the Champonship Round and add that total to their scoring totals in Weeks 14, 15 and 16. The highest scoring team in the Championship Round after Week 16 wins the grand prize. Non-Championship Round teams will compete in the Consolation Round under the same scoring format (weekly scoring average + scores from Weeks 14-16) for prizes.

League playoff qualifiers from each league include:
Seed #1: Best h2h record (total points is the tie-breaker)
Seed #2: Most total points (next most total points if h2h champ had more points)
Seed #3: Next most total points
Seed #4: Next most total points (this team does not advance to Championship Round of the overall contest; top three teams do) So no more H2H in the playoffs for the individual leagues?

LEAGUE- 4 teams in and take scoring average + weeks 14-16?

C-SHIP ROUND- 3 teams in and take scoring average + weeks 14-16?

Top 2 seeds would get their $850 back before they started playoffs?

Did I read that correct, Greg?

If so, I can live with that. I like that you are only rewarding ONE record team, and 3 total points teams for the league playoffs.

It looks good, Greg.....nicely done!

[/QUOTE]Yes on all. I'm making this more consistent with the rest of the contest, which seems to make sense if we're going with five national contests. h2h league playoffs have been fun, but many agree this new format may be a better way to reward the strongest teams.

I think that dead money over-stated your performance in last year's DC.

Sorry Billy - gotta kick you while you're down. The league just didn't go well for you. But the good news is you can come back to chicago and redeem yourself this year!

Wayne [/QUOTE]I agree, it was an overstatement.

And to think, someone told me I was SLAYING the draft at the first break!

Then again, the DC experts (Mike and Darryl) said I completely fell apart after that break, and they were DEAD ON!

That's why they are the best.

Wayne [/QUOTE]I couldn't agree more ... you need to come back to Chicago and ... TRY to redeem yourself this year. Don't forget ... you kicked our DC a$$ in 2006!

I'm suddenly thinking about a Denny's grand slam breakfast!

Seems to be a tradition after the casino!

Now if we can just get "old man Clampitt" to drag his old bones out this year. Hopefully the car we take will have enough room for his oxygen tank and wheelchair!

Greg, so the number of places you pay in the Championship Round will depend on the number of leagues? Not a bad concept but I am still for spicing up the top 2 payouts.

I'm also still for the top 3 going to the Championship Round just like the Main Events. Can't wait for the website to get up and running.
