Welcome to the 2011 FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship (FFFC). Here are the detailed rules for the tournament.

Tournament structure

The FFFC is a weekly fantasy football tournament with two rounds. The first round will consist of twelve separate qualifying tournaments running weekly from week 1 through week 12 of the NFL season. Each week players may enter the competition by drafting teams under the salary cap. Each week the entrant whose team scores the most fantasy points will secure a place in the final.

The final will take place in Las Vegas on Sunday, December 11th. There will be 12 finalists, one from each of the weeks 1 through 12. Finalists will receive a paid trip to Las Vegas to play in the final. The prize includes flights, one way transfer from airport to event hotel, two nights in a hotel, Saturday night dinner and party, and entry into the final (including free food and drink for finalist and one guest).

Entry fee and prizes

It costs $10 to enter the tournament. Players may enter as many times as they wish each week and in subsequent weeks.

The total guaranteed prize pool for the entire championship is $200,010.

Guaranteed prizes for the finals total $152,250:
1st:$75000, 2nd:$25000, 3rd:$15000, 4th:$10000, 5th:$7500, 6th:$5000,
7th:$4000, 8th:$3000, 9th:$2500, 10th:$2000, 11th:$1750, 12th:$1500

Prizes will be paid by check within 7 days of the final.

Each week there will be runner up prizes totalling $4,000, to be distributed as follows: 2nd $700, 3rd $450, 4th $300, 5th $200, 6th $150, 7th-8th $125, 9th-11th $100, 12-14th $75, 15th-19th $55, 20th-26th $45, $27th-33r d $40, 34th-42nd $35, 43rd-50th $30.

Runner up prizes will be paid directly into the player's FanDuel account.

Teams and scoring

Each qualifying week entrants may draft any player playing in Sunday and Monday games only. In the final, finalists may only draft players from the early Sunday games (that is all Sunday games apart from the Giants @ Cowboys).

A team must compose of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 DEF and 1 K while remaining under the salary cap.

Fantasy points will be scored as follows:

Note: For purposes of Fanduel defensive scoring, points allowed are calculated as: 6*(Rushing TD+Receiving TD + Fumble TD ) + 2*(Two point conversions) + Extra points + 3*(Field Goals)

In the event of a tie for first place in a weekly qualifier, the tied players will play a one week 'playoff' contest the following week to determine finishing position. All other ties (whether in the finals or in qualifying round) will result in the tied players splitting the prizes for the tied finishing positions.

Eligibility

The final of the FFFC is only open to players aged 21 and over. Anyone who wins first place in a weekly qualifier round and who is under 21 will have their finishing position swapped with the first runner up. In other words, they'll receive $700 and the runner up will receive the Vegas trip and seat in the final.

All other US and Canadian residents who comply with our eligibility rules for paid entry games in our terms of service are eligible to play. Note, residents of Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana and Vermont are not eligible to enter this competition. FanDuel employees may enter the competition for testing purposes but are not eligible to win any prizes.

Contestants will only be allowed to qualify for one seat in the FFFC finals. Anybody winning a second seat in the finals would automatically be awarded the second place prize in the weekly qualifier, with the second place finisher taking their place in the finals.

Tax

All US resident finalists will be required to provide address and social security details prior to the finals event. These details will be used to file a 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service for any players whose net profit on Fanduel during 2011 exceeds $600.

Publicity

Finalists agree that their full names, location and photos will be used for marketing purposes. They also agree to speak to journalists where applicable both prior to, during and after the event. Any finalist unprepared to adhere to this requirement will have their finishing position swapped with the first runner up that week. In other words, they'll receive $700 and the runner up will receive the Vegas trip and seat in the final.

The final event

The finalists will be staying on Saturday, December 10th and Sunday, December 11th at a hotel in Las Vegas (to be named once confirmed). If the finalist cannot make the trip due to extreme circumstances (such as illness, potential loss of job, death in the family, etc.), they may nominate one other to go in their place. However, the finalist will still be expected to fulfil their publicity obligations. Additionally, the finalist may elect to bring one friend, family member or partner to the event, who will be given free entry to the Sunday finals event and free food and drinks. They will be responsible for their own travel and incidental costs.

Tickets for guests to the Saturday dinner party will cost $50 per guest. Tickets (including food and drink) for the Sunday finals event for guests beyond the one complimentary guest will cost $75 per guest.

Additional terms and conditions

The decisions made by FanDuel management regarding, but not limited to, eligibility, winners, scoring, travel arrangement, rules and prizes are considered final. No correspondence will be entered into. FanDuel reserves the right to make reasonable changes to these terms, (a) to ensure the fairness of competition, and (b) in response to unanticipated developments (such as technical failures, errors, acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, changes in applicable law, interruption in the NFL season, failure of stats provider, failure of hotel provider, and failure to obtain a minimum number of entrants).
