Combining Forces

Two Contests, One Familiar Experience

Some details differ, but at the core these are the same contests you already love.

All your favorite NFFC and FFWC characters that help make both contests great are still here — Greg Ambrosius, Ian Ritchie, Geoff Stein, Scott Atkins, and Tom Kessenich have combined forces to keep running the best contests and live events on earth.

Both contests will use the world-class NFFC draft room, lineup tools, waivers, and standings.

Scoring matches across both contests, with only minor differences in team defense scoring.

Free-agent bidding closes on the same schedule in both: Wed & Sat, 10:00 PM ET.
