For the fifth straight year, the NFFC will be running two NFFC Post-Season Contests. Our $200 entry fee contest is now in its 20th season and will have a $150,000 grand prize. That one should sell out again thanks to that fantastic guaranteed grand prize.
But we are also bullish on our more affordable alternative. For the fourth straight year, the entry fee for this one is $50 and once again the grand prize is $50,000. That sounds pretty good: $50 to win $50,000!!!
In 2024, this contest maxed out at 2,800 teams and prizes this year are based on 2,500 teams. We won't push this one much further than that total because we have two contests to sell out this year, so don't delay if you want to turn $50 into $50,000 because this one is sure to sell out.
We love this unique format, which limits everyone to one player per NFL playoff team in Round 1 -- out of the 14 available playoff teams -- and uses a multiplier scoring format. Here's the crib notes on how this contest runs:
* No draft. No salary cap. Just select players.
* Each owner picks one player from 12 playoff teams in Round 1. Since there are now 14 NFL teams in the playoffs, you are fading two teams; in other words, you aren't picking a player from two of the First Round teams. And remember that one NFL team in each conference will have a first round bye, so those players you select won't score any points in Round 1 but will start at 2x in Round 2.
* Players on your initial roster earn 1x their scores in Round 1, 2x in Round 2, 3x in Round 3 and 4x in Round 4.
* Every team could start out with 2 players on bye and up to 6 players who could be eliminated.
* You can pick up new players each week but they start out at 1x when they are added.
* The owner with the most points after Round 4 wins $50,000.
* The key is picking the top stars who score each week and score big in the multiplier rounds, especially when it gets to 4x.
* Cost of entry is $50 per team.
* $50,000 grand prize, over $90,000 in total prizes. Top 40 finishers earn cash prizes
