Here are the prizes for the 2013 Fantasy Football World Championship (FFWC)

Tournament Prize Schedule (most points)
1st Place$150,000
2nd$15,000
3rd$7,500
4th$4,500
5th$4,000
6th$3,500
7th$3,000
8th$2,500
9th$2,000
10th$1,500
11th$1,000
12th$1,000
13th$1,000

15th$1,000
16th$500
17th$500
18th$500
19th$500
20th$500
Weekly prizes through week 13$15,600
Consolation 1st place2014 FFWC entry
2nd place2014 RotoBowl Entry
3rd place2014 RotoBowl Entry
That comes to...$218,800

 Plus 34 leagues prizes at $12,500 each=$425,000
That is $643,000 plus they are giving away a free entry ($1,650 value for every 20 entries in May as part of their May Madness promotion...I would expect 200 of their 408 maximum entries in May so another $16,500 given away.
That comes to $660,300 in payouts in my estimation.
They will only take in $673,200 from the 408 entries at a $1,650 fee. 
That comes to a 98% payout rate.....what a deal!

Here are some more details on the FFWC


Sign up as an individual, or with a trusted co-manager. Teams will be separated into 12 – team leagues and you will be assigned a draft position. You'll be able to monitor your victories (and your competition's failures) in real-time, online. At the end of the regular season, the top 4 teams from each league will be eligible for the post-season. And that's when things get really serious as you vie for a grand prize of $150,000. The winner at the end of the post-season takes home the cash, the title, and the knowledge that they're the best.
$150,000 Grand Prize - $12,500 in League Prizes - Win up to $10k!
"May Madness" Early Bird Special - Reserve your team with a $200 Deposit before May 31, and be entered into a drawing for a FREE 2013 Main Event Team (value $1,650). Drawings will be held for every 20 teams reserved.

NFL Draft recap of Fantasy Football players from round 1-2

In all of my books I tell you to look to the first and second rounds of the NFL draft for potential super stars. Why? Because the NFL scouts know talent and they are more likely to draft a great stud in the first part of the draft. So use this insider knowledge as a guide for rookie potential. But there are two things a player needs to excel in the NFL: Skill/talent and opportunity. Opportunity is something we will look at for 2013 below.

Of course with only five FF skill positions drafted in the first round it gets a little harder. Luckily 14 skill players went in the next round. 19 total in rounds 1 and 2.

Note this information is for redraft leagues only. It is not dynasty information.

1 Tavon Austin WR STL (Rams traded up for this explosive playmaker)
2 Eddie Lacy RB GB (perfect fit for GB that needed a all purpose RB)
3 Le'Veon Bell RB PIT (Can be the every down back the Steelers need)
4 DeAndre Hopkins WR HOU (#2 WR will get touches when AJ is double teamed)
5 Cordarelle Patterson WR MIN (QB is only limiting factor)
6 Tyler Eifert TE CIN
7 Gio Bernard RB CIN (RBBC in 2013)
8 Montee Ball RB DEN (John Fox loves his vets)
9 Keenan Allen WR SD (may take some time or others injuries to make a name in SD)
10 Robert Woods WR BUF
11 Aaron Dobson WR NE
12 Justin Hunter WR TEN
13 E. J. Manuel QB BUF (does not start week 1 but soon after)

Honorable Mention (not drafted in rds 1-2) Zac Stacy RB STL)
