*Beginning Week 16, the NFL will have games on Saturday. Once Saturday games begin, Saturday games WILL count towards the FFPC Weekly Challenge that typically begins on Sunday at 1 PM ET. Players in Saturday games will lock into lineups beginning 4:30 PM ET, Saturday.
**Beginning Week 16, the FFPC may offer Weekly Challenge games that begin on Saturday through Monday night as a third weekly challenge option. All rules and prizes will apply to these leagues, just as they do all weekly challenge games.
The FFPC Weekly Challenge is a weekly game format in which users can select any players to insert into their starting lineups without any salary cap or snake drafting. Similar to the popular FFPC Playoff Challenge, you simply select your players from the available pool from the week and that is it, but you must only select only ONE PLAYER PER TEAM. Prizes will be paid out based on the prize structure below based on the highest scoring teams for the week in the contest.
The contest software will not allow you to enter two players from the same team, but we encourage you to please double and triple-check your team(s) to make sure you have a complete roster by the time games kick off on Sunday.
The roster you select will be your roster for the contest. There is late swap available for users, but all players will lock as soon as their scheduled kickoff time is met. There will be no roster adjustments for players on teams that have kicked off.
In the event that a game is cancelled or postponed & rescheduled to a time that the NFL considers part of the same week, the game will remain as part of the contest and players listed to play in that game will be eligible to score points.
If a game is rescheduled for a time that is not considered to be part of the NFL week, the game will not be considered as part of the contest and the players will no longer be able to score points in the contest. Late swap will be available for the players in the cancelled/postponed game.
Example: Week 8 matchup between the Dolphins and Lions gets rescheduled from Sunday, 1 PM ET to Monday, 8 PM ET. This game is still within the week 8 window and will count. If the game is rescheduled from Sunday, 1 PM ET to Sunday, 1 PM ET of Week 9, the game will not count.
All teams will be placed in an Overall Leaderboard which will accumulate fantasy points for the duration of the contest. All teams begin the contest with a zero score. Entrants can view other teams on the leaderboard but only players who are locked will be shown. Players on teams who have not yet kicked off will not be visible to other teams in the contest.
Teams with the highest accumulated point total will win.
We encourage everyone to register and submit their rosters as soon as possible. You MUST have your roster submitted prior to the official start of the games included in your Weekly Challenge league to have the entire player pool at your disposal.
The user is solely responsible for inputting a complete lineup. There will be no refunds given for incomplete rosters.
The FFPC Weekly Challenge will be hosted on the FFPC league management platform. Simply log into your FFPC account and register for the FFPC Weekly Challenge using a credit card or with existing funds in your account. Your entries/team(s) will appear on your MyTeams page.
All rosters will be made public on the leaderboard after the start of the first game, however, players who have not yet started will not be made visible due to late swap capabilities.
Beginning Week 16, the NFL will have games on Saturday. Once Saturday games begin, Saturday games WILL count towards the FFPC Weekly Challenge that typically begin on Sunday, 1 PM ET. Players in Saturday games will lock into lineups once their games kick off.
The FFPC Weekly Challenge will be capped at 10, 30 or 100 entries based on the contest that the user signs up for. If the contests reach the cap, registrations close immediately. If the contest finishes under the cap number, the contest will be cancelled, and participants will be refunded. The announced prize structure below is guaranteed only if the contest fills. At its discretion, FFPC reserves the right to cancel or run the Weekly Challenge contests if they are not at full capacity.
If there is a tie between multiple teams for prizes at the conclusion of the contest, the prize money will be combined and evenly divided between the tied teams. So as an example, if two teams tie for 1st and 2nd with the prize awards being $2,500 and $1,250, they will receive $1,875 each. If there are 3 teams tied for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, then the top 3 prizes will be divided equally among the 3 teams, etc. Furthermore, if there is a tie between multiple teams spanning different prize values, cash value will always be used when awarding prizes. The owners will not be able to select a prize option of league credits, they will automatically be awarded the cash prize. If there is a tie for first place in the $200 Weekly Challenge Contest with a Main Event Ticket as the prize, winners will split the cash value of the FFPC Main Event Ticket.
If you feel there is a scoring error, please email support@myffpc.com with the words STAT APPEAL in the subject line. Kindly detail the issue and we will look into it. We are using SportRadar and Elias Sports Bureau to automatically correct any statistical errors, so an appeal is not needed for an error which would be corrected by either. Typically, stat changes are released by Elias and SportsRadar by Thursday following that particular week's game. Once the stat changes are received, the FFPC will update the standings and results of all FFPC leagues accordingly. All scoring for the prior week will go FINAL by 6:00 PM EST on the Thursday following that particular week, and at that time all contestants waive their right to any further appeals. It will be the sole discretion of FFPC, LLC. to make any changes not noted by Elias Sports Bureau. FFPC, LLC. will use their best judgment to make a fair decision.
Prize winnings from the FFPC Weekly Challenge will be placed into the winner’s FFPC accounts at the conclusion of the contest and will become available for withdrawal. All withdrawals of $600.00 or more will be reported to the IRS via a 1099 Form for the 2023 calendar year.
Prize splitting amongst principal participant and their co-managers is available. The principal participant will always remain the sole legal prize winner and MUST authorize payment to his co-manager in writing. The principal participant will fill out and sign the authorization form indicating the name & address of his co-manager and the amount he should receive. Both the principal participant and the co-manager will each fill out a W-9. Once these documents are received and approved by FFPC, LLC. the prize monies will be released to both parties. At year's end, both the principal participant and the co-manager will each receive IRS Form-1099 for their prize awards. Limitations to prize splitting: prize splitting is limited to TWO persons only: the principal participant and the co-manager. Under no circumstance will FFPC, LLC. issue payment to anyone other than these two persons. Only total prize awards of $2,000 or greater will be eligible for prize splitting. This may can be a combination of any CASH prizes won in any FFPC tournament, league or contest. FFPC Dollars or any non-cash prizes are not applicable for prize splitting. Each share of prize split awards must be a minimum of $600. FFPC, LLC. may, at its own discretion, refuse to accept any prize splitting request and process the entire award to the principal participant.

Scoring & Roster Requirement:
The starting lineups will consist of:
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 4 Flex Players (RB, WR or TE), 1 PK. 1 Team Defense/Special Team in classic contests or;
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 4 Flex Players (RB, WR or TE) in slim contests.
The following is the scoring system used for every player in FFPC. Scoring will be calculated to the hundredth of a point. Negative yardage will be counted as a negative score:
Passing:
20 yards passing = 1 point (Divide total yards by 20. Example: 275 passing yards = 13.75 fantasy points)
Passing TD = 4 points
Interception thrown = Minus one point (-1)
Fumble lost = Minus one point (-1)
2-point conversion = 2 points
-1 point - fumble lost
Rushing:
10 yards rushing = 1 point (Divide total yards by 10. Example 126 rushing yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
Rushing TD = 6 points
Fumble lost = Minus one point (-1)
2-point conversion = 2 points
-1 point - fumble lost
Receiving:
10 yards receiving = 1 point (Divide total yards by 10. Example: 93 receiving yards = 9.3 fantasy points)
Receiving TD = 6 points
1 point per Reception for RB, WR, QB, K
1.5 points per Reception for TEs
Fumble lost = Minus one point (-1)
2-point conversion = 2 points
-1 point - fumble lost
Placekicking:
Extra Point = 1 point
3 points for every FG of 1 – 30 yards plus .1 point for every yard thereafter.
Example: a 45-yard FG would be worth 4.5 points
Team Defense/Special Teams:
1 point for every sack
2 points for every team takeaway (interception or fumble recovery)***
6 points for every TD (via interception return, fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked FG return, missed FG return, blocked punt return)***
2 points for every return after a blocked/failed extra point or failed two-point try (i.e. on an interception or fumble). [As per new NFL rules for 2015 season]
5 points for every safety
12 points for every shutout **
8 points – Allowing between 1- 6 points **
5 points – Allowing between 7 – 13 points **
3 points – Allowing between 14 - 19 points **
1 points – Allowing between 20 – 23 points **
0 points – Allowing between 24 – 29 points **
-2 points – Allowing 30 or more points **
**Points scored by the opposing team’s defense will NOT count towards defensive points allowed. Only points scored when the defense or special teams is on the field will count towards their defensive points allowed. Extra points or two-point conversions will also NOT count towards defensive points allowed if they are a result of a score by the opposing team's defense.
Touchdowns:
FFPC implements Action scoring for all touchdowns. A TD scored in any way by an individual player is awarded to that player whether he is on offense, defense or special teams, whether that TD came as a result of a fumble, interception, double turnover***, lateral, special teams or any other football play. To reiterate: If a player scores a TD during a game and he is in your starting roster, you are awarded 6 points. (The exception is when a quarterback throws a passing touchdown. Those are awarded as 4 points.) Please note that this scoring is separate and unrelated from any points which Team Defense/Special Teams may also receive for this TD.
No rushing or receiving yards will be awarded for a TD scored on a fumble, interception, kickoff or punt return.
Touchdowns scored by the offensive team as a result of Fake FG, Fake Punt, Blocked FG or Blocked Punt do not count as Defensive/Special Teams scoring.
*** A double-turnover is when the Offense turns the ball over to the opposing Defense, which subsequently turns the ball over back to the Offense. In this case, neither the Offense’s ball recovery nor any subsequent TD scoring on that particular play are scored as Defensive/Special Team scoring for that team. Defensive team fantasy points for touchdowns, fumble recoveries and interceptions are ONLY scored when the defensive unit is on the field.
*** A fumble by an offensive player through the opposing end zone resulting in a touch back is not considered a team takeaway and will not award 2 fantasy points for the Team Defense/Special Teams.
