2009 FFPC Pro's vs Joe's Challenge

The 2009 FFPC Pros vs Joes Draft Challenge concept is simple. Take a group of hard core FFPC fantasy players (the Joes) and pit them against a contingent of fantasy industry experts (the Pros). There are 72 teams participating (half pros and half Joes). The overall field is divided into separate 'Divisions'. Each division of 12 conducts their own draft. All teams drafted are tossed into one master league to compete. The highest scoring team across all divisions is crowned the 2009 FFPC Pros vs Joes Draft Challenge Champion. One team wins, period.

The scoring system is of course the signature FFPC scoring (with 1.5 points per catch for TE). It's a DraftExperts format which is essentially a "Best Ball" league where the system automatically fills out your weekly roster with your best performing players at each position. No waiver wire moves or setting of lineups by the participants. Once you draft your team of 26 players, you're administrative duties are done for the year. Just monitor the leaderboard as the year goes on.

What do they win? Originally it was just bragging rights with a claim to the title of the 2009 FFPC Pros vs Joes Draft Challenge Champion.But we now have the following prizes or bounties on the table.

And courtesy of Dave and Alex, we have this incentive - FFPC Pros vs. Joes Clean Sweep BonusIf either the Pros side or the Joes side win all 6 leagues (winner means having top scoring team only in each league), The FFPC will award $150 per team (in FFPC dollars towards future FFPC Leagues) to:The 6 league winners ANDthe other 30 owners on that team's side.That is correct, if either side gets a clean sweep, ALL 36 PLAYERS on that team get $150 towards future FFPC Sat leagues or the Main Event. However, if one side wins 5 leagues and the other wins 1, no one gets anything. Hence the word "bonus". Retail value is $5400
