Player One Leagues Explained:

Player One Leagues differ from standard FFPC leagues in two distinct ways:

1) FFPC Player One Leagues are drafts that kick off immediately upon signing up, with one FFPC user drafting their team against eleven smart CPU teams, akin to a mock draft.

2) Prize structures vary depending on whether the user selects a random draft position or a player-selected draft position, with prizes awarded only if the user wins the league. Cash prize value of 10x entry for random draft position and 9x for player-selected draft position, with league credit options paying even higher.

FFPC smart CPU teams are teams drafted by FFPC smart draft software. FFPC smart draft software includes various draft strategies, methods and rules to ensure that all drafted teams are competitive and virtually indistinguishable from a user selected team.

Overview

The Fantasy Football Players Championship (“FFPC”) is a fantasy football game of skill that offers guaranteed cash awards to its top entrants. This contest will test a participant’s ability to predict player performance both over time and on a weekly basis, as well as to value certain players and positions within the framework of our scoring system, place appropriate bids on free agents based on the relative future value to the entrant’s team, and create a balanced fantasy team that will maximize scoring output over the length of the season. FFPC award winners are determined based on the criteria listed in the Rules below.

The Player One format is a 20 round serpentine draft with a 17 week season. Optimized scoring lineups are automatically started each week and there are no in-season transactions, waiver pickups or lineup submissions. Each team will receive the optimum point total for the week which means that fantasy points of the top-scoring QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, TE, and 2 Flex will be awarded. The highest scoring team over the course of the season wins. Fantasy players like this format as it allows players to “draft it & forget it”.

FFPC Player One League Scoring

Each team’s roster will have a maximum of 20 players. Lineups do not need to be submitted in Best Ball Slim Leagues. The league management system will automatically start the optimal lineup based on that week’s scoring. The starting lineups will consist of: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE and 2 Flex Players (RB, WR or TE).

Player position eligibility and designation is determined by FFPC Commissioners during the pre-season and may be changed any time before the start of the NFL season. FFPC participants agree to accept these designations and understand the final position designations may be different from the time their FFPC drafts were conducted.

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 count as a negative score:

Passing

• 0.05 point – 1 yard passing (multiply total passing yards by 0.05. Example: 275 passing yards = 13.75 fantasy points)
• 4 points – Passing TD
• -1 point – Interception thrown
• -1 point - Fumble Lost
• 2 points – 2-point conversion

Rushing

• 0.1 point – 1 yard rushing (multiply total rushing yards by 0.1. Example 126 rushing yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
• 6 points – Rushing TD
• -1 point - Fumble Lost
• 2 points – 2-point conversion

Receiving

• 0.1 point – 1 yard receiving (multiply total receiving yards by 0.1. Example 126 receiving yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
• 6 points – Receiving TD
• 1 point – Reception for RB, WR, QB, K
• 1.5 points – Reception for TEs
• -1 point - Fumble Lost
• 2 points – 2-point conversion

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 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.

* 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.

FFPC Player One League Free Agency Acquisitions and Blind Bidding

There are no waiver pickups or any transactions in Best Ball Slim Leagues. "Draft and forget it."

Draft/Event Information

The draft is conducted in the ‘live draft’ room found on the league pages. The draft will be conducted in a serpentine method starting the first round with Team 1, proceeding through Team 12; the second round will start with Team 12 and will proceed through Team 1; the third round will begin with Team 1 and end with Team 12, etc. until all 20 rounds have been completed. This will result in a 20 player roster.

IMPORTANT: The draft room software will require each team to draft a starting lineup of 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 2-FLEX. As an example, if you do not have a Quarterback in the final round of the draft, the software will not allow you to draft another position and you will be required to draft a Quarterback.
