I'd like to confirm this though. I heard it on their podcast a few weeks ago but things change fast and I'm not clear if this only applies to the FPC tourney or to dynasties or both.
FFPC rules
Official Length of the NFL Season
Please read below for information on how the FFPC will handle the awarding of prizes for all Leagues and Contests in the case that the NFL shortens, delays, suspends or discontinues its season.
Officially Announced Shortened NFL season:
All FFPC Leagues and Contests are official to the length that the NFL regular season is official. If the NFL has a shortened official regular season--for any reason--FFPC Leagues and Contests will run for the length of the official NFL regular season.
For example, if the NFL has an official fourteen (14) game regular season, FFPC Leagues and Contests will last 14 weeks. If the NFL has an official ten (10) game regular season, FFPC Leagues and Contests will last 10 weeks, and so on.
The FFPC may shorten and/or amend FFPC game formats like the Main Event, FPC, Classic, Dynasty, Terminator Tournament, and to function within the shortened official NFL regular season. The FFPC will not cancel any Leagues and Contests based on official season length. All prize structures will remain intact for all FFPC Leagues and Contests.
NFL Season Delay or Suspension:
Should the NFL season be suspended or delayed, all FFPC leagues and contests will pause and resume when the NFL season resumes.
NFL Season Discontinuance:
Should the NFL season be discontinued, for any reason, with five (5) or less official weeks played (weeks do not need to be consecutive), FFPC Leagues and Contests will then be canceled and all entries will be refunded (except Dynasty, see below for more info). The FFPC will process refunds into FFPC player accounts in the same form as original registrations (league credits or cash funds). Participants will have the ability to submit withdrawal requests for any eligible cash funds. The FFPC will not refund Dynasty league entries to player accounts, but will instead apply them towards 2021 league dues.
Should the NFL season be suspended or delayed and discontinued, for any reason, with six (6) or more official weeks played (weeks do not need to be consecutive), FFPC Leagues and Contests will become official and prize will be awarded (including Dynasty) in the manner described below.
All individual Best Ball Leagues (live draft best ball, best ball slim, plus, Superflex, terminator satellites, double-ups, dynasty best ball, etc.) and Varsity leagues:
Prizes for the above leagues will be awarded as per the original league prize structure as per league standings at the time of NFL season discontinuance.
Ex. - NFL season ends after ten (10) weeks. Team A is in first place. Team A receives the first place prize.
All Individual Leagues with Regular Season and League Playoff formats (Classic, Victory Points, Live Auction, Standard Dynasty, Big Payback, High Society, Live Auction, etc.):
The FFPC will award regular season and league playoff prizes based on final standings at the time of NFL season discontinuance. League standings and seeding may vary due to league formats (victory points, total points, etc.).
Ex. - NFL season ends after ten (10) weeks. Team A is the 1-Seed based on league standings. Team A receives 1-Seed regular season prize and first place league playoffs prize.
FFPC Contests (Main Event, Footballguys Players Championship, Terminator Tournament, Super Bracket Tournament):
If the NFL discontinues its season before the completion of league playoffs, the FFPC will award all regular season league prizes and league playoff prizes based on final standings at the time of NFL season discontinuance. League standings and seeding may vary due to contest formats (H2H or total points).
Ex. - NFL season ends after ten (10) weeks. Team A is in first place in its league. Team A receives a 1-Seed prize (if applicable) and first place regular season league prize.
If the NFL discontinues its season after League Playoffs are completed, but before the start of the Championship Round, the FFPC will award all regular season league prizes and league playoff prizes based on the regular season and league playoff results.
If the NFL Season is discontinued any time after week six (6) but before the start of the Championship, Consolation & Toilet Bowl Rounds, the Championship, Consolation, and Toilet Bowl prizes will NOT be awarded to individual teams based on standings at the time of NFL season discontinuance. Instead, the FFPC will combine all Championship Round prizes, Consolation prizes, and Toilet Bowl prizes and disperse them in the following manner:
· All league 1-Seeds will evenly share 30% of the total prize money
· All league 2-Seeds will evenly share 30% of the total prize money
· All league 3-Seeds will evenly share 20% of the total prize money
· All league 4-seeds will evenly share 20% of the total prize money
Ex. - NFL season ends after (10) weeks. Team A is in first place in its league and has the most overall points in the entire contest. Team A receives its share of the thirty (30) percent of the overall prize pool allotted to league number one seeds. Team A does NOT receive the $500,000 grand prize.
If the NFL discontinues its season upon completion of Week 14 or 15, the FFPC will use the current standing of the Championship, Consolation and Toilet Round leaderboards to determine prizes as per the original prize structures in each contest.
