FootballGuys Players Championship limited to 3000 players. Less than 500 left for draft-a-thon weekend!

Looking for a great fantasy football contest with a medium size entry fee. Look no more. Last year the FPC had over 1,600 players. They now have over 2500 players FOR 2011 (at last check) and a $125,000 Grand Prize. If they hit 3000 they will up the Prizes again. The championship round now pays out to the first 160 spots. 2nd place is $20,000, 3rd place $10,000 4th place is $7,500 and so on until 15th which is $1,000 and they keep paying $1,000 until 55th!!!!!!!

Roster/Scoring: The FPC starting lineup allows for two (2) flex positions, also known as the Dual-Flex. The scoring system gives 1 point per reception for RBs & WRs but also gives 1.5 points per reception for TEs, putting extra weight to the TE position. Action scoring is implemented for all TDs: any TD scored by a player is scored as 6 points to that individual player, in addition to any D/ST scoring that may apply. Stat errors will be automatically corrected using Elias Sports Bureau. The deadline for lineup submission for each player via web site or email is the scheduled start time of the game in which the player is participating.

Starting Roster: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 2 flex players (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 D/ST

-4 points for passing TDs, 6 points for all other TDs
-0.05 point for every 1 yard passing
-0.1 point for every 1 yard rushing or receiving
