The 2011 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). It has many teams participating this year (half pros and half Joes). The overall field is divided into separate 'Divisions'. Each division of 12 conducts their own draft. The highest scoring team across all divisions is crowned the 2011 FFPC Pros vs Joes Champion.
Selection of Joes and Pros for this event is now in progress.
The individual divisions consist of 12 teams. 6 Pros and 6 Joes.
There will be 7 Divisions this year with 74 total teams (36 Pros and 36 Joes)
Each division conducts their own 26 round draft, and will compete within their division to win the league crown. Points scored across all divisions determines an overall winner. The team with the highest overall points is the 2011 Pros vs Joes Draft Challenge Champion!
League Format
The format is FFPC DraftExperts (or Best Ball). In this format, your best performing players at each position are automatically used for your lineup, based on that week's results. Points are calculated through week 16. This is a total points league, you do not 'compete' againt any other individual team in a given week. You are shooting for total points accumulated over the year. The highest scoring team across all the divisions, at the end of 16 weeks, is crowned the 2011 FFPC Pros vs Joes Draft Challenge Champion There are no waiver wire pickups, or setting of lineups each week. There are no trades, or trading of picks. You do not spend any time managing your team during the season. This is a draft it and forget it league, showcasing your drafting skills, and preseason assessment of players. No babysitting of your team is required, and we can all sit back and follow the standings as the season progresses.
Drafting
Each league conducts its own 26 round live draft. This year, the drafts will be held on RTSports.com
The 26 round live drafts will be done in serpentine fashion.
The division competitors and draft slots will be announced: Friday 15 July 2011
Draft positions will be allocated such that pros and joes will alternate, 1-12. Therefore, you will always have a competitor drafting on either side of you. Additionally, we will alternate initial draft position in each league. This means that in League 1, a Joe will occupy draft slot one. In League 2, a Pro will occupy draft slot one.

Of those 26 players, the system will automatically fill out your lineup with your best performing players at each position. Your weekly lineup will consist of the following:

Scoring
The scoring system is FFPC scoring. Basically this is a Points Per Reception league, but with the twist of 1.5 points per catch for tight ends. For the gory details, you can go here (http://www.theffpc.com/), but so long as you know the benefits of PPR, you are good to go.
