SRW · Jan 2, 2011

Alright everyone, it's playoff time in the NFL and what better way to welcome them back than by having a OFFICIAL contest for our loyal members at GridironFans.com. AxionJaxson has stepped up to setup a league and act as the league manager. So without further delay, let's get into the details about the....

Here's a rundown from the League Manager, AxionJaxson:

Every player is assigned a dollar value and you get a budget to buy a team with. Every week the player values change according to performance and you can choose to stand pat with your team or buy new players as you can afford. Being that it's playoffs you also have to replace any players you might have played that were on losing teams, since they are no longer available. However, rosters lock going into the conference championships so it adds a pick'em element at that point, since if you have any players on your roster from the 2 losing teams, you'll be getting zeroes in the Super Bowl.

Most total points over the course of the playoffs wins the game.

GIF Playoff Fantasy League

Hey fantasy junkies, I got just the postseason fix for y'all. A playoff salary-cap style fantasy league for GIF members. SRW has been generous enough to put up a ESPN mag subscription as a prize, so step on up and win that thing! Anyone can join, it's easy to play even if you've never played salary cap football before (or fantasy at all), and should be a lot of fun!

If you missed SRW's PM, here's the link to the league:

Just FYI for everyone, here is a breakdown of the rules and scoring from ESPN:

Overview

The objective of the game is to select a roster of NFL playoff players, while staying under the $50.0m salary cap, and accumulate the most points according to the scoring system.
Name Your Team (Optional)

After selecting your team you can name your team by clicking on the link labeled "Edit Entry Settings" found on your team page. Your team may have up to a maximum length of 25 characters. Once you have named your team, click on the "Submit Entry Settings" button. Your team name can be changed at anytime.

Select Your Players

Rosters must consist of eight (8) players and one (1) team unit (defense/special teams) which fit under the $50m salary cap. The eight (8) players on a team's roster consist of the following positions:

2 Quarterbacks (QB)

2 Running Backs (RB)

2 Wide Receivers (WR)

1 Tight End (TE)

1 Kicker (K)

The listed salaries are based on a combination of the players season-to-date and projected playoff statistics according to the scoring system and will adjust twice during this game: once after Wild Card Weekend and once after Divisional Weekend. Players are moved onto your roster by selecting the position you want to modify and clicking on the green Plus (+) icon next to one of the players in the available players list.
Roster Lock Periods

Roster slots lock individually at the scheduled start time of each player's game. The first lock is the weekend of the NFL Playoffs on Saturday, January 9, 2010 (exact time TBD) and you can change the players around as often as you like up until this time. After the Wild Card Weekend is completed, you will be able to select a new roster for the Divisional Playoffs games. After the Divisional Playoffs are completed, you will again be able to select a new roster if you wish. This is the last roster change period available as the roster you have set for the Conference Championship games is frozen for the remainder of the playoffs (i.e. the Super Bowl as well). The roster change periods are listed below:

Period #1 (Wild Card Weekend): Game launch (Dec. 16) until first kickoff of the Wild Card Weekend games (Jan 9 - time TBD)

Period #2 (Divisional Playoffs): Shortly after the Wild Card Weekend games are complete until first kickoff of Divisional Playoffs (Jan. 16 - time TBD)

Period #3 (Conference Championships): Shortly after the Divisional Playoff games are complete until first kickoff of Conference Championship (Jan. 24 - time TBD). This is the final roster lock.

In order to maximize your possible points for the game, you should have active players for the first 8 games of the playoffs. In other words, do not play any players from teams that have BYE's during the Wild Card Weekend games.

The Gridiron Playoff Challenge scoring system is as follows:

All positions (QB, RB, WR, K):

6 pts per rushing, receiving or return TD

4 pts per passing TD

3 pts per field goal (FG) made (any distance)
