NFFC Debuts First NFFC Draft Champions Championship

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Mon May 03, 2010 11:09 am

Welcome to the industry's first national championship for Draft Champions League participants. The NFFC will unveil live 14-team league drafts in New York, Las Vegas, Chicago and online on Friday, Sept. 3rd with a guaranteed $10,000 grand prize and league prizes of $3,600. Top seven spots overall will receive cash prizes as the prizes are based on seven full leagues.

Draft Champions Leagues will be held on Friday morning and late afternoon in all three cities and online with a cost of $850 per team. Owners draft for 26 rounds and the computer picks its optimal scoring lineup each week. The team with the most points after 16 weeks wins the league title. The team with the most points among all leagues wins the $10,000 grand prize.

These rules are still tentative and everything is still being added to the web site, but here's a quick look at the concept. We look forward to a fun, fun contest where every week you get to look at league standings and overall standings. Good luck all and let's fill up multiple leagues in each city.

OFFICIAL CONSTITUTION OF THE
NATIONAL FANTASY FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
DRAFT CHAMPIONS LEAGUES


1. Overview: The National Fantasy Football Championship Draft Champions Leagues will consist of 14 teams, with each team compiling 26 NFL players through a serpentine draft, using 3RR (3rd Round Reversal). Teams will compete in a year-long competition for the highest number of points, accumulating points from Week 1 through Week 16 from its highest scoring players from the 10 required positions. The team with the highest point total in each league after Week 16 will be determined the league champion. Leagues will pay off top three finishers and an overall contest among all Draft Champions Leagues will be kept with teams ranking from most points to fewest points and the overall champion earning a guaranteed $10,000 grand prize.

2. Draft: All Draft Champions Leagues will hold their drafts on Friday, Sept. 3rd or Sunday, Sept. 5th in their respective cities. The order of each Draft Champions draft will be chosen randomly by Fanball and announced once leagues are full. All Draft Champions Leagues will use KDS for your draft preferences and the 3RR format. Leagues will be formed on a first-come, first-served basis and participants in an unfilled league will be offered a full refund. The draft will go in order from Team #1 through Team #14 in the first round and then come back in reverse order in round two (Team #14 through Team #1). The third round will go back down to team #14 to start and then continue in serpentine fashion from that point on through the remaining rounds until every team has compiled 26 players. Each participant will have one minute to make a selection and the clock will begin for the next pick after the sticker has been placed on the large draft board.

8. Free Agent Acquisitions: There are no in-season free agent pickups in the Draft Champions League. What you draft is what you get.

9. The Draft: The Draft Champions drafts will be held at the host sites in Las Vegas, New York and Chicago. Cost is $800 per team and $50 for a co-manager. All participants and co-managers will sit in the order of their team number order. The Draft Champions League will be a non-smoking event. Use of electronic equipment (cell phones and laptops) is allowed, but there will not be Internet connections or electrical outlets available. Bring your own battery if you want to use a laptop.
A. League Management Web Address: Fanball will manage the NFFC and provide real-time stats online. You can access your league via the Internet by going to http://nffc.fanball.com.

B. NFFC Phone In: All transactions should be made online via the league website. In the event you cannot access a computer to make your moves, Fanball can accept transactions via phone during normal business hours. You will need your login and password to submit transactions via phone. You may leave transactions on voice mail during non-business hours, however, you do so at your own risk and any and all changes which result in an invalid lineup, will be voided.

C. Scoring: There will be no lineup submission for the Draft Champions leagues. The computer will give each team an optimal fantasy point total each week from their top-scoring QB, 2RBs, 3 WRs, TE, K, D/ST and Flex Player. Teams will accumulate these optimal point totals each week for 16 weeks. Scores in the NFFC are finalized with no changes possible after 6 p.m. EST each Thursday after the weekend games.

10. League Structure: Each league will consist of 14 teams competing in an overall scoring format for the league and overall championship. Teams will be assigned randomly to each Draft Champions League in each city. Teams will compete for points from Week 1 through Week 16 of the NFL season. The teams with the top three point totals will be awarded prize money at the end of the season and a $10,000 overall grand prize will be awarded to the team with the most total points after Week 16 among all cities.

11. Draft Rules:

a. time limit: Each participant will have a one minute time limit from the moment the draft facilitator tells him/her that they are on the clock to make their selection. The participant will be told when there is 15 seconds left by the draft facilitator and a countdown from five seconds will go until time has expired. The draft facilitator will have final say on whether a pick was called out in time or not. If a participant does not make a selection within one minute, he/she will be passed over until the next participant makes a player selection. The passed-over player goes back on the clock for one minute after the selection is made.

b. Seating: Every team will have two draft spots available at the table and each team will be seated in their draft order.

c. Trading: There is no trading allowed during the Draft Champions season.

d. Electronic Equipment: Participants can use electronic equipment during the draft as long as it fits in the allotted draft spot at the table. There will be no Internet connections or electrical outlets, so participants bringing laptops will have to supply their own power. Cell phones are allowed at the draft table, but we encourage participants to use them sparingly and not in a way that interrupts the draft process.

e. Smoking/Drinking: Smoking will not be allowed in the Draft Room. There will be a cash bar available in the Draft Room, but we ask that each participant drink responsibly.

f. Breaks: There will be 15-minute breaks after Round 9 and 18 and we will finish the draft after the second break.

g. League management: The league will be available via the Internet at http://nffc.fanball.com with Fanball as the stats provider.


12. Random League/Draft Spot Selections: The NFFC will randomly select the leagues and the draft orders of each league once all entries have been submitted by city. For instance, if the NFFC receives 28 entries for the Draft Champions Leagues in Las Vegas, we'll put all 28 names into a bin and select in order: League 1, pick 1 is John Smith; League 1, pick 2 is John Doe, League 1, pick 3 is Jane Andrews, etc. until all 28 names have been selected. We will do this in each city for all of the leagues. In 2010 Draft Champions Leagues, we'll also implement the Kentucky Derby Style process to allow owners more draft preference. The KDS process allows owners to rank their order of preference for Draft Day, ranking their preferences 1 through 14 BEFORE the leagues are selected. If an owner wants the third pick if he is selected No. 1 overall in his league, he would choose that option and he would then be moved to third in that league on Draft Day. NFFC officials will look at every owner's Draft Preferences after the leagues and orders are randomly selected and then announce the draft orders for each league. Once each NFFC owner has officially signed up for the contest, they can find this feature in their game site under My Settings. Then click on Draft Preferences and you'll see the Draft Order ranked 1 through 14 and the option to change those preferences next to them. If you decide not to rank your preferences, your preferred order will remain 1 through 14. Owners can change their Draft Preferences right up until the announced deadline is set.

In 2010, the NFFC will also use 3RR (3rd Round Reversal) in all its drafts. The draft will go in order from Team #1 through Team #14 in the first round and then come back in reverse order in round two (Team #14 through Team #1). The third round will go back down to team #14 to start and then continue in serpentine fashion from that point on through the remaining rounds until every team has compiled 26 players. Each participant will have one minute to make a selection and the clock will begin for the next pick after the sticker has been placed on the large draft board.

If you decide not to rank your preferences, your preferred order will remain 1 through 14. Owners can change their Draft Preferences right up until the announced deadline is set.

In 2010, the NFFC will also use 3RR (3rd Round Reversal) in all its drafts. The draft will go in order from Team #1 through Team #14 in the first round and then come back in reverse order in round two (Team #14 through Team #1). The third round will go back down to team #14 to start and then continue in serpentine fashion from that point on through the remaining rounds until every team has compiled 26 players. Each participant will have one minute to make a selection and the clock will begin for the next pick after the sticker has been placed on the large draft board.

This looks good!

I am going to wait on asking a question until I see the auction rules.

Thanks for the fix, Greg! :D

Rewarding the Whole season. No playoffs. Total points is highly rewarded. Best team over the ENTIRE season wins .... and nothing but Love on the message board for the event holders.

Well Done. Nice job Greg and Tom.

BTW ... I would like to see you take $50 bucks out of first place money and buy/make a cool, small, cheep trophy/paper weight/potato masher with it. But that's just me.

No need for you guys to pay for national championship trophies. All of our national champions will get customized trophies after the 2010 seasons and we'll honor you in the various cities on Draft Day 2011, just like we do now for our Classic and Primetime champions. No worries there.

Mike, don't clean off a spot for this just yet. The competition is going to be VERY TOUGH in 2010!! :D

Will there be satellite draft champions leagues? Will you offer them in the slow draft and auction formats? If so, when can we start a sign up list?

Thanks
