Here is the skinny regarding the tournament:

If you are in the FanDuel system with a FBG identifier, you can play in this tournament. It's a private tournament where only people with the FBG designator can even see the tournament. The tournament will run for 15 weeks. Each week it will pay out $2,000 in prizes and give two entries into the Week 16 Final. In week 16, 30 weekly winners will compete for $45,000 in prizes (including a $15,000 top prize).

You can get the FBG designator in these ways:

1. You signed up to FanDuel via the new signup link above (free or pay). If you deposited $25 into FanDuel, you also received a free FBG subscrription

2. You played in the FBG freerolls last year and never deposited money

3. You are a FBG, but deposited money some other method to FanDuel and request to be have the FBG designator added (email cameron@fanduel.com)

The easiest way to know if you have the FBG designator is to log in to FanDuel and click this link:

I played in the Footballguys contests last year, but it says I am not eligible. I can't make a deposit because of the state I live in (I hate Iowa :wall: ). I sent an e-mail so we will see what happens I guess.

 
Got the following e-mail in response to my request to be added:

Sorry Jason. I can't change your account to a FBG account as users from Iowa are not allowed to win cash in contests either so you aren't eligible to play. We hope that the legal situation is resolved in Iowa soon as we would love to have you playing at FanDuel.Thanks, Cameron

David... can you explain the bolded a little more? In the "tournament" there are multiple contests each week ranging from $1 to $25 buy ins. The freeroll weeks figure to have the top two scores get the first two seats, I suppose. For the other weeks with multiple games going on, how do you determine who gets the "two seats" for the finale? If there are 10 contests (some could be $5 entry, some $2 entry, etc) running separately in the tournament for a week, is it the two top scores over all combined in all contests who get the two seats for that particular week? So it's possible to win the weekly contest you enter and not actually win one of the two seats for the finale. Is that correct?

Or do the players in the $25 buy in contests have a better shot at the two seats than those playing in the $1 contests for the week? Sorry for my confusion.

 
Got added via email as well. I have deposited $100 or so last year into Fanduel. I love these weekly contests

 
quick question I'll ask here as well as email FanDuel....

last year I got into the Freerolls and ended up winning about $40....I never deposited any money....I went back in this year and it shows that I have $0 in my account....

did this happen to anybody else....?

eta: disregard....looks like I missed the part of them being able to take back the money I won after 30 days or something if I didn't use any of it to play in other games...

Each week there is just one contest to win entries. The first two weeks are freerolls capped at 2500 players. Week 3 will cost $25 and be capped at 222 players. Week 4 is expected to cost $10 and be capped at 555 players. Each week will be a different contest with varying entry fees. The same 22 spots will be paid each week regardless of the buy-in. The top two spots each week are the entries into the Week 16 event.

How long did it take to get a reply back? I've been waiting hours.
 
Will the contest still run if we do not get 2500 entries? As of now it's like 750, was just curious if it will still run since it is a free entry contest. Thanks again

yeah seems like we need more people to enter

2500-2800 is the max. ive never heard of a freeroll being canceled before. we are at 800 now, it looks like we will have 1000+. they won't cancel a game with 1k mostly new players in it.
 
I tried to enter this contest but it says I am not eligable. Is this for first time FanDuel users only? I entered this FBG Freeroll last year also.

 
Pumped, I checked a few days ago and would not let me access it despite being in it the previous year.

Checked just now and my entry is in.

:bag: David, what about those of us subscribers late to the party?

 
Really disappointed with the Cap on entries. I am new to FanDuel this year, signing up via the FBG link. I had checked for contest early in week, and it wasn't out yet, just got to it again today and it is full.

I put in a team back in August when David first posted about it, so, yeah, it was up early in the week.

Well, there were over 13,300 entries in the Subscriber contest, so there's your baseline.
 
Looks like it was a waste of time to sign up. These type of contests should not have limited entries. Too bad, looks like I'll just take me deposit back and stick with Draft Zone..

 
I CANT BELIEVE I SINED UP FOR FANDULE AND GOT A FREE FBG SUBSCRIPTION BUT ALSO I WANT TO PLAY IN WEEK ONE OF THIS ANCILLARY CONTEST THATS BEEN OPEN FOR WEEKS AND I NEVER ENTERED AND NOW I CANT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK
