We're going to try it out in my one dynasty league.
We have 2 divisions of 6 teams each and we will be putting together a standard roster of our best players (min one player per team) and have a match up against the other division.
We are going to test to see how this works out and if it works well, we will probably have something at stake next year. Thought it is an interesting concept.

Our league's Pro Bowl IS the Pro Bowl. We're total points clear through to the Super Bowl and whoever scores highest in the Pro Bowl with their selected players wins an additional $40.

Having never really thought of or heard of this concept -- I'm intrigued. However, much like the real pro bowl, injuries and current game situation tends to impact this weeks matchup:
So obviously Michael Vick would emerge from your Division to lead that team at QB -- but he likely isn't playing this week, so he doesn't represent that division. Kind of lame (again, much like the real Pro Bowl)
Curious to hear how exactly people do this concept.

One of my dynasty leagues is doing this this week. We use a fictional money system to bid on players, re-sign guys with expired contracts, franchise tag guys and grab free agents in an off-season auction. Each of our three divisions submit a lineup and the division with the most points will get additional money (again, the fictional money) to divide evenly between the four teams. It'll be my first time trying this and I think it's a really fun idea that also gives an incentive to pick a good team.

I'm not sure what you mean by fantasy pro bowl.
In my league, the championship game is week 16. All teams, regardless of if you made the playoffs submit a lineup for week 17. The team with the most points gets a door prize ($50).

I'm definitely suggesting this to my league.

In my main money league it's called the "pro bowl" but it's really all play.Your whole roster gets points week 17 .
I've found this is the best way to keep teams interested through the years.Just add $5-$10 to the league buy in and thats your pro bowl pot or use transaction fees. It really adds to the league and keeps teams that had bad seasons active.

I'm kind of shocked at the 21 no votes
why wouldn't you want another week of fantasy ball?

We've tried different pro-bowl type events without much interest... so we just dumped it.
In 2008 we went to a week 17 "golf tournament" format and the guys love it. The goal is to put together a starting line-up of "losers" to see who can get the LOWEST score. The catch is that there are penalties for players that score zero; QB is +20, RB is +15, etc. so you can't stack a line-up with bench warmers.
It's a lot harder than it sounds to stay under par. This week's waiver wire is pretty funny read off and and it's looking like Steve Smith (CAR) may see his first action in 8 weeks.

here is how we run the pro bowl...
week 17
3 divisions, 4 teams in each division.
each division picks a full offensive line-up and a full defensive line-up from their 4 teams. (IDP league)
we vote an "actual" pro bowl team (simply for recognition) and a starting pro bowl line-up (much like the N.F.L.)
highest point total wins the game and the LOOT!!
