We understand that not everyone is excited about the new revamped MLB season, knowing that 60 games is more of a sprint than a marathon. But we also know that a lot of our customers still want some action during this 10-week sprint and maybe drafting the best Best Ball team is the way to go.
In April we introduced the NFBC Double Ups, a 10-team, 42-round Best Ball private league with no FAAB. This will be a total points contest through the 60-game season with the Top 5 teams in each league doubling their $100 entry fee to $200. Not a bad way to double your money.
Here's that contest link and Registration:

We are working on one more Best Ball private league right now. I think we'll call it the NFBC Sprint Best Ball League. Again, private league, 10 teams per league, 42 rounds at $100 per team and optimal scoring for all 10 weeks of the season. We'll pay the Top 2 teams this way:
NFBC Sprint Best Ball League
$100 Per Team, 10 Team Leagues, 42 Rounds
Optimal Scoring Each Week
1st Place - $700
2nd Place - $150
That's an 85% payback for just drafting and watching your team succeed. No FAAB. Just draft and let the computer take over. Same Cutline scoring format for both contests and we'll offer 4-hour and 2-hour leagues along with nightly Express leagues at 55 seconds per pick.
Darik will create this contest tonight and we'll get it on Registration tonight. Again, not a bad way to enjoy a 60-game season, while getting your drafting fix in July!! Enjoy.

Re: Welcome To The Sprint Best Ball Private Leagues
I will definitely do some of these. I have been wanting this format for a while, and if i am not mistaken it has never existed. i think, the closest thing was cutline, but cutline has a couple of FAABs.
I hope these stick around. I mean nobody really wants to set a lineup every week in Draft Champions leagues anyway!!

Re: Welcome To The Sprint Best Ball Private Leagues
I think this format has a chance to stick. I agree with you, the Cutline does have the two FAAB periods and a nice overall grand prize, but maybe this format will stick and allow people to just draft and be done. Let's see what the response is. Thanks.LittleKingKen wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 2:49 pmI will definitely do some of these.

Re: Welcome To The Sprint Best Ball Private Leagues
It's one of my favorite options on the yahoo bestball leagues; pretty similiar setup as well one thing different is there is also a weekly payout ($5-10 lol not much but can pay for a daily lineup lol) for top scoring team in addition to overall 1-3 finishers
Re: Welcome To The Sprint Best Ball Private Leagues
Agreed Ken, I've been wanting an optimal scoring DC format for baseball too.Greg Ambrosius wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 3:00 pmI think this format has a chance to stick.
