Post-Season Fantasy Football League Now Open
Monday, January 4th, 2010It’s called the Post-Season Fantasy Football Freeze Out. I’m quite sure you’ve heard about it… the only post-season fantasy football league you need to play in. This is our 5th year to hold the Freeze Out competition and each year it’s been more and more successful. Every year we get more and more participation and that allows us to raise the prize money even more. How many contests do you know that pay out the TOP 20 place finishers? That’s right… no matter if we have 50 or 500 participants, we’re paying out the top 20 winners… and the prize money WON’T CHANGE!!
Here are the details:

THE GAME
You will choose twelve post-season NFL players, and you will choose wisely, because there will be no roster moves or lineup changes allowed after the games have started on Wild Card Weekend!
During the NFL playoffs, your players will accumulate fantasy points according to the scoring system detailed below. When a team washes out of the playoffs, you’re stuck with the players from that team on your roster for the rest of the contest! The team that compiles the most total points over the course of the regular season is declared the winner.
Play starts Wildcard Weekend and goes through the Super Bowl. The entry deadline is fifteen minutes before the first game on Saturday, January 9, 2010. Rosters will lock five minutes before the first game on January 9, and they will remain locked through the Super Bowl. If one of your players drops out of the playoffs or underperforms or gets injured or benched, you will NOT be allowed to replace him.
You may JOIN NOW and change your roster as many times as you wish right up until five minutes before the first game of Wildcard Weekend.
You may enter as many times as you wish, but you must pay the entry fee each time!
You will choose the following players for your roster:
2 quarterbacks
3 running backs
4 wide receivers
1 tight ends
1 kicker
1 defenses/special teams
TIEBREAKERS
First tiebreaker: Guess the total points scored by the two NFL teams in the Super Bowl.
