We at the Fantasy Football Players Championship and For Players-By Players, LLC understand the importance of customer trust with regards to prizes and payouts.
As a start-up event in 2008, it was vital that our customers felt comfortable and secure entering our contest. For this reason, For Players-By Players, LLC had placed $75,000 - the amount of the grand prize - in escrow account with Mark W. Yaros, Esq., a licensed attorney in the State of New Jersey and became the FIRST and ONLY High Stakes contest to do so. Mark W. Yaros, Esq. may be contacted

. We had funded this $75,000 attorney escrow account with our own money, prior to accepting a single entry into the FFPC, to show our customers how serious we are about protecting their investment.
For the upcoming 2009 Season, the ENTIRE Main Event prize money will continue to be placed and held in Mr. Yaros' attorney escrow account throughout the duration of the season and will not be accessed by ForPlayers-ByPlayers, LLC. for any reason. At the conclusion of the season, checks will be drawn directly from these funds and sent to all prize winners by January 11th, 2010.
High Stakes Fantasy's Main Event - FFPC '09: Prepare For Glory !
The Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) is a High Stakes Fantasy Football event launched in 2008 by veteran fantasy football players. Players starting a contest, you might ask? After all, we play high stakes fantasy football leagues, we don't build brand new fantasy contests. We're players. Players...Hmm. What if this new contest, developed by fantasy football players, was tailor-made for fantasy football players? What if it included the very protection all players deserve and should now require for their prize money? A Prize Pool Held in Attorney Escrow. And it is this very concept which became the theme for our project: build a contest that is For Players, By Players.
So, how did year one go? This is what our players are saying:
- Just want you guys to know that I WILL be returning for 2009. I'm saying this because I have enjoyed this league more than any other (by far). I'm pretty sure Michael Cobb will be too. The FFPC has been discussed many times and its simply the best (IMO). Thanks for putting this league together and I wish you both success in the future. - Daryl P. Hope / Turbough
- I love it. LOVE the dual flex. I like the 1.5 per TE rec. as well. The FFPC has stood solid vs. any critiques this season. Watch the copycats start debating to morph this direction. ~Lance Turbes / Sportsbettingman
- As a high stakes fantasy football player, I truly appreciate getting my winners check before the new year. I'm not trying to disrepect any other high stakes fantasy football leagues, but this is one of many reasons why I joined the FFPC. I really feel like I've a voice and it's a players league. - Wayne Ferguson / Big Ferg
- It’s a great league and my co-partner and I have decided to each get a franchise next season. Looking forward to it! - John Laskowski
- As a fantasy addict, I am finding the FFPC offerings are like crack. Nice Work. - Darren Armani / FantasyMojo
The FFPC offers a unique hybrid draft format, combining a live Las Vegas high stakes fantasy football event with two online fantasy football draft times to create the Fantasy Football Players Championship. This allows fantasy football players to draft from anywhere in the world and still compete with Live drafters in the same main event. The 2009 FFPC Live draft will be held at the legendary Caesars Palace in the elegant Palace Ballroom, on the Las Vegas Strip on Friday, September 11th, 2009 at 6:00 PM Pacific. Online entrants can draft from anywhere they have computer access and pay the base entry fee of $1400 per team. The FFPC is offering two online draft times, Friday, September 11th at 6 PM Pacific and Saturday, September 12 at 4 PM Pacific.
The FFPC main event is being announced at 204 teams (17 Leagues) and offers a minimum $75,000 Grand Prize while each league will also compete for a minimum of $8,000 in individual league prizes. The entire prize pool is guaranteed and prizes will increase as we exceed our announced entries. The 2009 FFPC Main Event is limited to 300 teams and registration will close at that mark. The FFPC again has no co-manager fees for 2009 and there is no hotel stay requirement. The event offers player-friendly rules, including the FFPC Dual-Flex, extended waiver wire period, automatic Elias stat corrections and much more. The playoff structure has been re-invented and extended, to involve 4 playoff teams per league and give them a shot at the prizes. The FFPC is continuing with our exclusive Free-peat™ Bonuses - a system which awards team achievement with free entries. The FFPC is the only fantasy contest with a 100% protected prize pool. For the ultimate in player safety, the entire Main Event prize pool is secured in an attorney escrow account for the entire season. The attorney escrow is provided free of charge to our players, because we want you to know with 100% certainty that winners will get paid and get paid quickly. The event organizors do not access player prize money until prize checks are to be mailed to winners. Our guaranteed prize release date is January 11, 2010. The FFPC had the fastest payouts in the industry for 2008, with league prize checks being received by our Players well before the football regular season ended. League prizes will again be released in December of 2009. Last but certainly not least, FFPC payout percentages will be among the highest in the high stakes industry. That’s our promise to all of our Players.
