Thought the fact that the FFPC has already increased the prizes and will likely do so Again was worth a (new?) thread - here are the details from the last email:

26th to 30th - $200 each
This prize pool will just get bigger and bigger as we close in on the first NFL playoff game on Saturday. The entry deadline is 4 pm ET on Saturday, January 8th. It is now less than 48 hours to kickoff!
Quick version of the Playoff Challenge: Each FFPC Playoff Challenge owner selects 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 2 Flex (RB, WR, or TE), 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 D. However, you can only pick one player/defense from each NFL team. So 10 NFL teams must be represented. And the Super Bowl players get double points for that game only. The contest uses FFPC scoring and the highest scoring team wins.
Here are the Official Rules for the 2009/2010 FFPC Playoff Challenge:
1. FFPC scoring rules are in effect.
2. Each team will consist of 10 NFL players in a FFPC starting roster format: 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 2-Flex, 1-K, 1-D
3. Each team will choose 10 players from any of the 12 playoff teams but ONLY ONE PLAYER PER TEAM. To be clear, if you choose Peyton Manning as your QB, you may NOT have any more Colt players on your roster.
4. This will be your roster for the duration of the playoffs and you will not make any changes. As NFL teams get knocked out of the playoffs, so will your players so draft your team accordingly.
5. Each week's score will be added to your team's total and the Superbowl will count as DOUBLE the points. So instead of 1ppr it will be 2ppr, instead of 6 pts per TD, it will be 12 pts per TD, etc, etc. This is done to create a little more excitement the last game of the season and give teams a chance to make up a deficit in the standings. Teams with the highest point total after the Superbowl will be the winners. In the event of a tie, say #1 and #2 finishing teams, the 1st & 2nd place prize money will be combined and evenly divided between the two teams.
6. The NFL playoffs are scheduled to begin Saturday, January 8th at 4:30 pm ET. The deadline for roster and payment submission is 4:00 pm ET on Saturday, January 8th but we encourage everyone to submit their rosters on their league pages as soon as possible.
7. Owners will be receiving (or have gotten) invites and they must submit a lineup for their Playoff Challenge team.
8. All rosters and scoring will be loaded and tracked on a RTSports league page (on leagues.myffpc.com) and all rosters will be made public prior to the start of the playoffs. Your existing FFPC login will work if you use the same email address.
