$60 NFFC Hold 'Em Post-Season Contest Signup List
Here are the Rules for the NFFC Hold 'Em Post-Season Contest:
Section I: Official Rules and Regulations of the
National Fantasy Football Championship
Hold ’Em Post-Season Tournament
1. Overview: The National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC) Hold ’Em Post-Season Tournament in conjunction with Fantasy911.com will consist of 130 teams per league, with league prizes paid to the top five finishers. The NFFC Hold ’Em Post-Season Tournament will begin with the first wild card games on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2010 and continue through the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010. Points will be accumulated throughout the playoffs and the team with the most total points wins the grand prize. Second through fifth place prizes will also be paid per league based on total points. Each week the number of points an NFL player earns for you will be multiplied by the number of weeks he has been on your roster, rewarding fantasy players who correctly can predict top players on this year’s Super Bowl teams. Players who have first-round byes automatically earn two times their total points during Week 2 of the playoffs.
2. Draft: Owners must manage a team of 12 players throughout the playoffs to accumulate the most league points. Owners will initially complete their roster by selecting one player from each team that qualified for the playoffs. In the second round as teams are eliminated from the playoffs, owners can have as many as two players from the same team on their Hold ’Em roster. After the second round of playoffs, there is no limit to the number of players from the same team you can have on your playoff roster.
3. Roster Requirements: Maximum of 12 players at all times except in the Super Bowl (8 then). 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).
4. Starting Lineup Requirements: Starting lineups will consist of:
• 2 Quarterbacks
• 4 Running Backs
• 4 Receivers (includes Tight Ends)
• 1 Kicker
• 1 Team Defense/Specials Team
5. Scoring: Players can accumulate points in a number of ways:
PASSING:
• .05 points for every yard passing (works out to 1 point every 20 yards).
• 6 points for every passing touchdown
• 2 points for every 2-Point conversion
• minus 1 point for every interception and lost fumble
RUSHING:
• .10 points for every yard rushing (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
• 6 points for every rushing TD
• 2 points for every 2-Point conversion
• minus 1 point for every lost fumble
• 6 points for a recovered offensive fumble for a touchdown (RB, QB, WR, TE)
RECEIVING:
• .10 points for every yard receiving (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
• 6 points for every receiving TD
• 1 point for every reception for WRs, Tight Ends and QBs
• 0.5 points for every reception for RBs
• 2 points for every 2-Point conversion
• minus 1 point for every lost fumble
KICKING:
• 1 point for every extra point
• 3 points for every field goal from 1-30 yards
• 3 points for every field goal plus .10 points for every yard after 30 yards (i.e. a 47-yard field goal would be worth 4.7 points)
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS:
• 1 point for every sack
• 2 points for every interception or opponents' fumble recovery
• 6 points for every touchdown (interception return, defensive fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked field goal return, blocked punt return). All special teams and defensive points are awarded to the team responsible, not the individual player. Should a kicker, punter or field goal holder throw a pass off a fake attempt, however, the offensive output for that offensive play would go towards the individual player, not the specials team. Also, any lost fumble or “muff” on a specials team play does not result in negative points for that individual player.
• 12 points for a shutout by the entire team
• 8 points for allowing 2-7 points by the entire team
• 4 points for allowing 8-12 points by the entire team
• 2 points for allowing 13-17 points by the entire team
6. Free Agent Acquisitions: The entry fee will be $120 and include unlimited transactions. Our other contests at $250, $60 and $30 also will include unlimited transactions.
7. Hold ’Em Multipliers: Each week during the contest, fantasy points are multiplied by the number of weeks each player has been on your roster. Eli Manning is a perfect example from the 2008 contest. If you picked Eli Manning that year to be one of your starting QBs in the first week of the playoffs, you would earn his points from week one. Then after the Giants won that wild card game, his points in the second round of the playoffs were multiplied by two. Then when the Giants advanced to the NFC Championship Game, his points were multiplied by three and then by four when the Giants reached the Super Bowl. Any team that receives a first-round bye, automatically has their points multiplied by two during their first game. Once one of your players are eliminated from the playoffs, you can pick up a new player for that upcoming round, but the multiplier would begin at one because you just added him to your roster.
8. Roster Time Frame: All starting rosters must be finalized five minutes before that weekend’s first playoff game. No lineup changes will be allowed after that first kickoff.
9. Number of Bid Limits: There is no limit to the number of new free agents you can add each week.
10. Tied Bids: In the event that there is a tie for the grand prize, the following tie-breakers will be used:
1. Predicted score of the Super Bowl game.
2. Highest weekly score of the teams during the playoffs (i.e. one team had a high of 220 points and the other team’s high score was 215, the 220 would win).
3. Highest score of the teams involved from the Super Bowl.
4. Highest score of the teams involved from the third round games.
5. Highest score of the teams involved from the second round games.
6. Highest score of the teams involved from the first round games.
7. Split the prize money in question.
11. League Structure: The contest will consist of the first 130 owners to sign up in each contest and prizes will be awarded according to the breakdown set forth in Paragraph 12. Any additional teams entered in the contest above 130.

I've updated the defensive scoring rules above to coincide with the Fantasy911.com web site. We are using current NFFC scoring rules for everything, including the defenses. I must have copied and pasted an old file originally that had our old defensive scoring rules. It has been corrected now above. Good luck all and let's fill this contest up.

$60 NFFC Hold 'Em Post-Season Contest Signup List
We start the morning with 64 teams officially entered in the $60 NFFC Post-Season contest. Don't be surprised if this one finishes with the fewest number of teams in it as past history has shown that owners tend to go in the $120 and $30 levels more frequently. We still have room for 66 more teams as we've added 30 teams in the last 24 hours, so let's keep it going right up until kickoff to day's 4:30 ET game and fill this one up. Who wants to win the $5,000 grand prize when the Super Bowl concludes?
Sign up online at www.fantasy911.com or email me at [email protected] if you want us to run your credit card. Thanks all and best of luck. This should be a BLAST with the progressive scoring setup.
