[URGENT] 2021-22 Playoff Challenges Close in 27 Hours


Jump In: Playoffs Start Tomorrow

Time's Running Out: Playoff Challenge Locks at Kickoff

The Raiders and Bengals will be battling shortly, so you don't have many more chances to join the 2021-22 World Famous FFPC Playoff Challenge, players: Now's the time to register your teams!

As a reminder, the Challenge will have 12 starting roster spots rather than the 10 starting roster spots in a typical FFPC starting lineup. The two added starting roster spots will both be FLEX spots (Flex can be RB, WR or TE).

Your lineup changes are automatically saved every time you add or change a player in it. And if you want to quickly find which leagues you own a certain player, you'll be able to easily do that from this page, too.

The main details of the Challenge are listed below:

  • Entry fee: $200 per team
  • Contest capped at a maximum of 7,250 entries
  • $500,000 Grand Prize
