Welcome John Z. I don't have admin access yet, so I don't know who has signed up online. I'll get that from the Fantasy911.com folks soon. Welcome aboard.
Greg,
I did sign up online but didnt actually register my teams or any payment info. Just wanted to let you know in case this causes a problem when you're setting up the teams. Rich

3. Roster Requirements: Maximum of 12 players at all times. No more than one player per NFL team in the first round and no more than two players per NFL team in the second round. In the Championship Round, teams will be limited to 3 players per team (12 total players) and in the Super Bowl they will be limited to 4 players per team (8 total players).

What is the starting lineup requirement for the 8 players in the Super Bowl?

What is the starting lineup requirement for the 8 players in the Super Bowl? You just have to fill 8 of the 12 required spots. Decisions all around.

payout is 67% with 150 entries. 71% or so with 140. I thought it was NFFC policy to offer near 80% payouts? Any way to up the prizes to 75% or so? This would defnitely convince me to join.

and I know that I'm basing this on 120 per team, but that's what it should be based on, since 99% of the teams are going to go that route. The prize pool should be $12,000 based on $15,000 in signups, which is 80 percent. During the first two years, we did not get 150 teams and it's quite possible that this year we won't either. We had 117 the first year and 137 last year, but of course we still guaranteed the prize money. We're not trying to get rich off this contest; it's just a fun way to end the season for our NFFC participants and we just try not to lose any money on this. I have to pay the folks at Fantasy911.com to run this contest for us because we don't have the software to do it and they are good promotional partners. So there's more of an expense here than just another satellite league at 80%.

If you think we're getting too rich off the $20 per team for transactions and we wind up paying out less than 80 percent, then I'm sorry about that. But we definitely paid more than 80 percent the first year and still guaranteed the prize money and last year we finished right around there as well. When all is said and done, we'll probably be there again this year.

Heck, if we actually get to 150, we'll see what we can do about adding a few more bones. Good luck to all who do enter.
