Game Overview Participants in the FFOC compete in 10-team standard snake-draft leagues. Online drafts begin in July and end at 4 PM CT on Thursday, September 10, 2009. Participants play each team in their league in a round-robin tournament in Weeks 1 through 9 of the NFLseason. There is no trading in the FFOC, but free agent pickups are allowed through Week 9. Teams will accumulate one win or loss in each head-to-head matchup during the first nine weeks. Each team will accumulate an additional win or loss each week based on whether they finish in the top half or bottom half of the league in weekly points scored. At the end of nine weeks, each team will have 18 games attributed to its record. The top two teams will play in a head-to-head match-up to determine which team is the league winner and which team finishes in second place. At the end of 10 weeks, each team will be placed in one of three brackets based on their team success relative to Level of Play. The three brackets are the Las Vegas Bracket, 1st & Goal Bracket, and Red Zone Bracket. The FFOC Brackets The Fantasy Football Open Championship consists of the Las Vegas Bracket, 1st & Goal Bracket, and Red Zone Bracket. Each bracket has different requirements and prize structure. The Las Vegas Bracket consists of the best of the best teams in the FFOC.

The Las Vegas Bracket concludes in Week 16 with the Las Vegas Main Event, where $1,000,000 is awarded to the overall winner. The Las Vegas Main Event includes the top 15 teams in the Las Vegas Bracket that have passed a cut line each week. In Weeks 11-14, a percentage of teams in the Las Vegas Bracket are cut based on their total fantasy points scored for only that particular week’s games. The top 15 teams still left in Week 15 earn a spot at the Las Vegas Main Event, which includes an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas and eligibility to win the Grand Prize of $1,000,000. Scoring The 1st & Goal Bracket includes teams in 2nd through 8th place that did not qualify for the Las Vegas Bracket and teams that were eliminated from the Las Vegas Bracket. Teams in this bracket are eligible to win up to $10,000, with the top eight teams in this bracket earning cash prizes. Each week a percentage of teams will be cut from the 1st & Goal Bracket based on points scored each week. The teams cut from the 1st & Goal Bracket will join the Red Zone Bracket. To view the full FFOC Scoring system visit: www.ffoc.com/rules/index.php?page=scoring The Red Zone Bracket includes teams in 9th and 10th place in each league.

The final places in each bracket will be determined by the sum of three scores: Average points Week 1 through Week 9 + Average points Week 10 through Week 15 + Week 16 points In addition to the three brackets mentioned above, the FFOC also has the July Bracket (teams that draft on or before July 31), the August Bracket (teams that drafted August 1-August 20), the Friend Referral Bracket, and the Q School Brackets for an opportunity to win even more prizes. For full prize information, please see the Prizes section, as well as Page 68 for Q School Bracket information and Page 70 for Friend Referral Bracket information. Live Draft and Roster At the time of signup, participants will select a draft time from available times for their team(s). Based on the selected draft time, each team will be assigned to a corresponding 10-team league. All leagues are public leagues and participants cannot choose to be in specific leagues. Leagues will be a mix of teams from one or more of the three pricing levels. During the draft, each team must complete its roster of 10 starters and 10 reserves (20 rounds) according to the position requirements for the starting lineup and the player position limits for the entire roster. Position requirements for the starting lineup: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (QB, RB, WR, or TE), 1 K, 1 D/ST Draft position limits for the entire roster (regardless of whether a starter or a reserve): 3 QB, 6 RB, 6 WR, 3 TE, 3 K, 3 D/ST Teams accumulate points each week based on the FFOC point scoring system and their weekly lineup of 10 starters. These weekly point totals are used to determine head-to-head matchup wins and losses, as well as to rank teams within their league and within the 6 brackets. For Q School, these weekly point totals are used to determine head-to-head matchup wins and losses, as well as to rank teams within their Q School league and within the 2 brackets: Q Bracket and Post-Season Bracket. All teams accumulate weekly point totals for the first 16 weeks of the NFL regular season. Roster Changes Acquisition via Blind Bidding Process »EachFreeteamAgent has a $100 budget for acquiring free agents, and there is only one $100 budget available for each team to be used for the entire contest. Bids can be submitted at 9 AM CT on Tuesday and until 10 AM CT on Thursday each week. Bids must be submitted in $1 increments (no cents). The minimum bid is $1. Free agents will be awarded and team owners will be notified by 12 Noon CT on Thursday. After Week 9, free agent blind bidding is not available. » Free Agent Acquisition via First-Come First-Served Team owners can pick up any available free agent after 12 Noon CT on Thursday and until the scheduled start time of the player’s team’s game for the week. Players dropped during the current week’s Blind Bid process are not available as first-come, first-served free agents, but will be available for the following week’s Blind Bid Process, if applicable. Each free agent that is picked up costs $1 from the $100 free agent budget. A player must be dropped from the team in order to pick up a free agent; the game start time of the dropped player’s team must not have passed. When dropping a player from the starting lineup, the free agent must be eligible to play the same position as the player being dropped. After Week 9, free agents are not available. Roster Switch: MOVING STARTERS AND RESERVES »Roster switches can be made beginning at 9 AM CT on Tuesday and until the scheduled start time of each player’s team’s game for the week. Once the scheduled game start time of a player’s team has passed, that player may not be moved to or from the starting lineup.

I was lucky enough to survive the final cut line with both of my Cocktails and Dreams teams still alive, giving me two shots at the $1,000,000 grand prize. Those cut lines were a brilliant idea. They made each week a true fight for survival. It was just one of the many awesome features of the FFOC. During the week, I was asked to write an article for the Omaha World Herald. It ended up being on the front page of the sports section and was very well done. I also wrote a follow-up in the Tuesday edition after the Vegas results were in. Finally, I did a local Omaha radio show that week, as well as a couple of internet radio shows. Needless to say, it all made for a busy few days. On the Saturday morning prior to the Main Event, I picked up my friend Justin before heading to the airport. Stan Misthios, founder of the FFOC, was kind enough to fly him out to Vegas with me, since I qualified two teams, and Justin had owned a few squads, as well. That’s where the fun started. First, we almost missed our flight because of a raging snowstorm. Then, the airline mishandled our bags, so we were left with only the clothes on our backs before my uncle got into town later that night. It wasn’t the smoothest of trips, but at least we got there, right? COMPETE IN THE FANTASY FOOTBALL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN $1,000,000! VISIT WWW.FFOC.COM OR CALL 1-877-348-7301 TO ENTER! I owned 66 total fantasy football teams last year (I’m a bit of a fantasy nut, if you couldn’t tell), so upon our arrival in Vegas, we sipped some cocktails and set all of my lineups before the start of the Saturday night tilt between the Ravens and Cowboys. We went downstairs, watched the game, and met some of the other FFOC competitors. After the Ravens’ victory, there was a meet-and-greet session at the Bellagio Sports Book, where we got to shake hands with even more of our fellow competitors. Justin and I proceeded to drink with Stan until the wee hours of the night. It was a great time. and Slaton were both pretty much held in check. Still, Brown had a huge game with five field goals, so I had a large lead heading into the Sunday night game. Being a pro gambler, I thought I had at minimum a 90 percent shot at coming away with the $1,000,000. Sunday morning came early, and I had to shake off the hangover and make sure I had all my lineups set correctly, especially for my two FFOC finalist teams. I had some very difficult decisions, but we entered them and headed downstairs to watch the games. Justin and I settled in, got comfy on two front-row couches, and enjoyed the action. All in all, it was a pretty good setup. My teams got off to a bit of a slow start, but then Matt Cassel began blowing up, Antonio Bryant caught a long touchdown pass, and Larry Fitzgerald reeled in a long score of his own. Yep, I was in business. Everything changed when DeAngelo Williams took the field in New York that night. Over a hundred yards and four touchdowns later, my shot at $1,000,000 had gone by the wayside. Justin and I were the only ones in the room during most of that game because, as the likely winners, we had been asked to stay so that we could be filmed. Instead of being filmed winning $1,000,000, it turned out that we were filmed losing $1,000,000. Hopefully we didn’t handle it too poorly. It was very painful. It basically felt like I was in a Saw movie. By the end of the contest, many of the participants returned, and we congratulated Shane Schroeder, who was now in the lead. We then tried to regroup for a while before sucking it up and going down to the club. My squad had a good chance heading into the afternoon contests. I still had Steve Slaton and Adrian Peterson to go, along with our defense, Kris Brown, and Aaron Rodgers on Monday night. If I got anything out of Slaton or AP, I could just run away and hide. It didn’t happen, though, as Peterson Everyone at the event was very cool. Many of them congratulated me before the Sunday night game. I thanked them, but I was also sure to remind them that the competition was far from over, even though it appeared to be. Unfortunately, I was right. We mingled and had some drinks until we saw a group that included Stan, Carol Matthews, and none other than Jerry Rice roll in. Justin and I asked to be let down to their table, and Stan pulled some strings to make it happen. We had only a pass to get into the club, so it kind of felt like we were crashing a VIP party. It was very cool rubbing elbows with Stan and Jerry and meeting Carol, who I have talked to many times over the years while playing CDM games. We hung out well into the evening. Monday, as it turned out, wasn’t one of the more enjoyable days, as Justin and I constantly had to relive what had happened in that Carolina game the night before, but we tried to keep things positive. After all, I did quite well in some of my other leagues over the weekend, so it wasn’t a complete loss. I eventually made my way downstairs to do an interview, and then before I knew it, the Monday night game was starting. When all was said and done, I barely hung on for second place. After the game, I got to talk to more of the FFOC participants, and it was truly amazing how great all of the guys were. It’s too bad everyone couldn’t have had a top-five finish. We ended up spending some time with Shane, who was the victor of the $1,000,000, before we left. We got to talk to him for a couple of hours at O’Sheas and rehashed everything. He is truly a humble and great guy. We had a good time over there. 2008 FFOC AWARDS CEREMONY WITH $1 MILLION WINNER shane schroeder & COMMISSIONER JERRY RICE 60 My uncle Kelly, Justin and I all had an excellent time, and the whole FFOC experience was unbelievable. It’s hard to have that much fun while going through what we did on Sunday night, but we found a way. The entire weekend was a first-class operation. I can’t say enough great things, and the design of the game and everything else was truly amazing. Thanks again to Stan and everyone associated with the FFOC! FROM RYAN HOUSTON SR. VP Business Development & Publisher, FANBALL.COM ------------------------------------------------------------------------Over the years I’ve experienced a lot of great events. I never thought I’d experience what I did when I was in Las Vegas for the Fantasy Football Open Championship. Simply put, the FFOC Main Event did not disappoint. Upon check-in, I was led to a green door that is exclusive for VIPs. Hell, I’ve been to the Bellagio a lot and never knew this door even existed (what does that say about how they view my betting habits?). This was not the typical Bellagio room. This was one of the huge rooms on the exclusive floors where all the fun happens. I headed downstairs to the Magnolia Suite, where plasma televisions were set up in front of about 20 couches. Were else can you find that? I mean, seriously? You have to play fantasy football to truly understand the entire concept. We are at the Bellagio, arguably the finest hotel on the Las Vegas strip, and I’m looking at rows of leather sofas and plasma televisions all set up so that 15 fantasy guys can watch football games. It was truly Fantasy Football Heaven! I scoured the room and saw many who were checking for last-minute news. Some were walking out on the patio to get fresh air. Others were trying to make that important last-minute decision. It was snowing in Foxboro – should they sit Randy Moss? The stress was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Every play – some cheers, some boos. Every scoring update – excitement and disgust. It was intense. It came down to the Monday night game, and Shane Schroeder won the first $1,000,000 prize purse for a fantasy football league. Everything about this event was first class. It was truly special, and every person should get a chance to experience it. I’ll be there again this year – will you? 61 $1ANMILLION WINNER! INTERVIEW WITH SHANE SCHROEDER COMPETE IN THE FANTASY FOOTBALL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN $1,000,000! VISIT WWW.FFOC.COM OR CALL 1-877-348-7301 TO ENTER! RH: What were your key team moves that helped you bring home the $1,000,000 grand prize? SS: Some of the many key moves were getting a lot of quality players throughout the draft, as some of my better performing players were in the middle to late rounds. I waited on quarterbacks and landed Philip Rivers in the sixth round and Aaron Rodgers in the ninth. Both performed at high levels. I also got some great value from DeAngelo Williams in the late rounds. Williams helped with great performances throughout the year, and especially in the playoffs. It is also important to work the waiver wire and know when it is time to drop or add players. This can be just as hard as knowing how to set your weekly lineup. One key move was adding Ted Ginn before my roster locked going into the playoffs. I didn’t think I would have to use him in the playoffs, but sure enough, Anquan Boldin was injured and wasn’t going to play in the final week, so I started Ginn and he scored on a reverse in the first quarter of the championship week! RH: How would you compare your experience in the FFOC to other fantasy football games and contests that you have entered? JERRY RICE PRESENTED 2008’s FFOC WINNER SHANE SCHROEDER WITH HIS $1,000,000 PRIZE! Do you ever daydream about winning $1,000,000 and becoming a fantasy football celebrity? Well, for Shane Schroeder, that dream became a reality when he was crowned the champ of the Fantasy Football Open Championship last season. We had a chance to chat one-on-one with fantasy football’s first millionaire to discuss the storybook season… Ryan Houston: How much experience did you have playing fantasy football before entering the FFOC last season? SS: My motivation for entering the FFOC was to be involved in another football league with the opportunity to possibly win the $1,000,000 prize. I don’t think I ever really thought I would win, but I just wanted to see how I would compete. If anything, it would keep me busy. Knowing I would be watching a lot of football anyway makes it easy to track throughout the year and always keeps the season interesting. RH: What was your strategy at the draft? Shane Schroeder: I had about 10 years of fantasy football experience, mainly with just friends in leagues we have set up for fun. I have also played in some of the free leagues on the internet and have enjoyed that, but I was interested in how I would match up against others in a more competitive league. When the 2008 football season was getting closer, it seemed as though I was going to be in only the one league that I host at my house. That was just not enough, though, so I decided to enter a league online. After some research, I found the FFOC. It seemed too good to be true, so I gave it a shot. RH: What was your motivation for entering the FFOC last season? 62 SS: My strategy at the draft was to try to get the best players available, but I also like to load up on running backs because they seem to get the most touches and have performed well for me in the past. The other reason I feel loading up on running backs is good is because they have a tendency to be more injury-prone due to the amount of abuse they take week after week. I think one of the bigger fantasy strategies would have to be finding that sleeper or late-round pick that happens to perform at a higher level than expected. Making the right call on your weekly starting lineup can be hard and also make or break a season, but luck is the most important thing! SS: Winning the $1,000,000, of course. It is life changing. Meeting Jerry Rice was awesome. He is a great guy and the best receiver of all time. Just being in Las Vegas at the Bellagio around all the FFOC participants and football fans, etc. was great and something I will never forget. RH: How has your life changed now that you are the world’s first Fantasy Football Millionaire? SS: My life has changed in many ways. I now have the opportunity to be more involved in fantasy football, and I have done numerous interviews, which have all been fun. I now have to learn a different way to live and make sure I make the right decisions financially so that I don’t lose all the money I have won. Being able to help my family out financially felt great, and it was always something I have wanted to do. Life became a lot busier, and it seems like it just keeps getting more and more busy as time goes by. RH: What is the first thing you bought with your $1,000,000 grand prize? SS: Well, due to the fact I won $1,000,000 and have not played in a lot of leagues like this, I have to say the FFOC is the best league out there. It definitely beats the garage leagues I have been in, where the most I have ever won is $800. Plus, I never had the opportunity to meet Jerry Rice or stay in the Bellagio in those leagues. Sorry to all the general managers who I have offended! It is really hard to explain. It has been great, and even though I have not been in a lot of different leagues, just do your research and you will understand how much better the FFOC is compared to other leagues. The payouts are amazing, and the entry fees are reasonable. SS: The first thing I bought was a boat. It was something I have wanted for years. That said, paying off my bills and helping my parents was an even greater feeling. Everyone dreams about winning the lottery, knowing that it probably will never happen. When I won the FFOC, I couldn’t believe it. It almost didn’t even seem real. I mean, it’s $1,000,000! I have never had the opportunity to live like that, but I am going to learn soon. Learning how to live with that amount of money is a daily job, especially in this economy. I have always known how to survive and live a decent life. Now I have to learn how to manage money at a much higher level. I guess it is a good thing, and it has been fun. RH: How many teams did you plan on entering into the FFOC this season? RH: How good of a chance do you think you have at successfully defending your FFOC title in 2009? SS: I had planned on entering just one team for $125, but when I saw I could get a deal on a three-team package, I ended up doing that. Doing the draft is a good part of the fun, anyway, so it gave me three chances to draft and gave me a better opportunity to win. I later found out that a lot of people had entered as many as 25 teams. I have not yet decided how many teams to enter this year, but I am getting excited for the season to start once again. SS: I don’t really know how good of a chance I have in winning the FFOC again, but I am sure going to try. In fantasy football, you have to know a lot about football - that has been shown by some of the people who have won on numerous occasions in many different leagues - but luck also plays a role, and I can’t wait to see if it will strike again in 2009. RH: How has your strategy in the FFOC changed this season? SS: I know I will decrease my odds by saying this, but you need to join the league first. I waited 10 years until I played in an online league, but I guess I picked the right one with the FFOC. You can’t win if you don’t play. Secondly, I would tell others to make sure they understand the league rules. They should also understand the game and how the scoring system works. They should do research on players, check rankings and player projections from numerous magazines and internet sources, but they shouldn’t be afraid to make their own decisions. You have to go with your gut. After all that, just keep track of the season and understand the matchups. After all, it is not over until the final week. SS: I don’t know if it has changed, but I do know that I try to look deeper into who I think may have a good year. Last season, a lot of rookie draft picks had great fantasy years, and it’s interesting season to season to see all the new faces on different teams. Who will have the breakout year and who will be a bust? RH: What was the best part about the Las Vegas Main Event?
