Does anyone want to get in on a Playoff Challenge League? Here is how it works…
Each round you pick players, people can have the same players, there is no draft or anything. Fantasy scoring is standard. If you pick a player who is on a winning team AND you choose to pick that player next week you get a 2X bonus for all his points that week. If he wins again, you get a 3X bonus, 4X, etc…
I did one last year and it was really fun. It is through NFL.com
http://playoffchallenge.fantasy.nfl.com
Entry fee will be $25 and it will be 75% for 1st and 25% for 2nd. I need to basically know today, tomorrow or Wednesday if you are in. I can collect money when I see you or via paypal.

Hey All –
Just a reminder that there is still time to sign up for the $25 playoff challenge tournament. We should have close to 20 participants I hope.
Less than 1 hour to get your week 1 picks submitted. If you haven’t signed up and still want to be part of the $25 league, there is still time!
One more note. I do not and can not set the scoring for the playoff challenge and I finally found where it was listed:
Offense Statistic (QB, RB, WR, TE, K): Fantasy Points: Rushing or Receiving Touchdown: 6 fantasy points Fumble Recovery Touchdown: 6 fantasy points Passing Touchdown: 4 fantasy points Field Goal Made 0-49 yards: 3 fantasy points Field Goal Made 50+ yards: 5 fantasy points Passing, Rushing or Receiving Two-Point Conversion: 2 fantasy points Rushing or Receiving: 1 fantasy point per 10 yards Passing: 1 fantasy point per 25 yards Extra Point: 1 fantasy point Fumble Lost: -2 fantasy points Interception: -2 fantasy points Defense/Special Teams (D/ST): Fantasy Points: Punt Return Touchdown: 6 fantasy points Kickoff Return Touchdown: 6 fantasy points Fumble Return Touchdown: 6 fantasy points Interception Return Touchdown: 6 fantasy points Interception: 2 fantasy points Fumble Recovery: 2 fantasy points Safety: 2 fantasy points Sack: 1 fantasy point Allowing 0 Points: 10 fantasy points Allowing 1-6 Points: 7 fantasy points Allowing 7-13 Points: 4 fantasy points Allowing 14-20 Points: 1 fantasy points Allowing 21-27 Points: 0 fantasy point Allowing 28-34 Points: -1 fantasy points Allowing 35+ Points: -4 fantasy points Team Win 5 fantasy points The fantasy points accumulated by each player during one (1) weekly scoring period will be multiplied by the number of consecutive weeks in which the player has been on your roster assuming such player’s team progresses through the playoffs. A player can earn bonus point multipliers of 2x, 3x or 4x for a given week based on the number of weeks they were on the fantasy team roster. For example: A user selects Tom Brady, NE in the Wild Card round. Brady earns 15 fantasy points in the first weekly scoring period therefore the participant is awarded 15 points for the first weekly scoring period. If NE advances to the Divisional Playoffs and the participant selects to keep Brady on his/ her roster for the second consecutive weekly scoring period, and Brady earns 20 fantasy points in his Divisional Playoff game, the participant will earn 40 points for the second consecutive weekly scoring period (20 x 2 = 40). Those 40 points will be added to the 15 points earned in the first weekly scoring period for a two-week total of 55 points (15 + 40 = 55). In addition, a user can select Tom Brady, NE in the Wild Card round even if the New England Patriots have a bye into the Divisional Round. In this case, the user would not earn any points for the Wild Card round, but would then be eligible to earn “double points” in the Divisional round, since Brady was on the team’s roster for 2 weekly scoring periods.
Scoring Notes
- Negative Scoring: Note that it is possible for a player to earn negative points in a single week. Some scoring categories result in negative points and if positive scoring does not offset the negative earned points by a player, they will end the week with negative points. For offensive players, the negative point categories are interceptions and fumbles lost, as well as negative yards accumulated in the passing, receiving or rushing yards categories. For Defense/Special Teams, the negative point categories are allowing 28-34 points or allowing 35+ points.
- Offensive Scoring (QB, RB, WR, TE, K): Scoring will be calculated according to the following example: If a QB throws for 200 passing yards, 2 TDs – rushes for 20 yards, 1 touchdown – and has 25 yards receiving, his point total for the round would be: 2 passing touchdowns = 8 points, 1 rushing touchdown = 6 points, 200yds Passing = 8 points, 20yds Rushing = 2 points, 25yds receiving = 2 points; or 26 total points for the round. Please note that, if you have an active QB and an active WR who play for the same NFL team, and your QB throws a touchdown pass to your WR, then you are credited with two touchdowns on the play and you receive 6 points for the receiving touchdown and 4 points for the passing touchdown (10 points total).
- Kicking scores: Kicking statistics (field goal, extra point) can be scored by any individual offensive player, notably your Kicker (K). A team Defense/Special Teams unit (D/ST) will not earn points for field goals or extra points.
- Defensive / Special Team scores (Touchdowns, Fumble Recoveries, Interceptions, Safeties or Sacks): Your defense is awarded points when any one of its members generates either a touchdown, interception, fumble recovery, safety or sack. Your defense also is awarded points for a kickoff or punt return that results in a touchdown. For instance, if your active defense is the Saints, and Darren Sproles returns a punt for a touchdown, your defense (the Saints) gets 6 points. But in that same situation, a team using Sproles as an active RB would NOT be awarded 6 points for that touchdown.
- Defensive Points Allowed: Only points allowed by a team defense or special teams unit will count towards the defensive points allowed category. Note that points a defense scores off the offensive turnovers of your team defense do NOT count towards points allowed. For example, consider the situation if you are starting the Chiefs Team Defense against the Texans and Alex Smith throws an interception to J.J. Watt, who returns it for a touchdown. Although the Texans scored 6 points on the play, the Chiefs Team Defense did not surrender the touchdown and thus they are not penalized for giving up points. However, any points given up while the special teams unit for the Chiefs are on the field (including a field goal or extra point) do count in this total.
- Defensive Touchdowns: Defensive touchdowns are any touchdowns scored by the defensive team. This includes fumble returns and interception returns.
- Special Teams Touchdowns: Special Teams Touchdowns are touchdowns scored by punt returns, kickoff returns or returns of a blocked Field Goal kick or punt.
- Rounding will NOT be used when calculating points from statistics. For example, 49 yards rushing will result in 4 points. Points will only be scored in integers.
