The NFBC offers two varieties of best ball leagues. The Best Ball Cutline format features ten-team leagues with a 42-round draft that owners can choose to finish in a two-three hour time slot or as a slow draft. The national contest will host up to 270 leagues in 2021 with a $150 entry fee and the chance to win a $75,000 overall prize. The NFBC's Best Ball format features 12-team leagues with a $100-400 entry fee per team. The league prizes in Best Ball formats range from $200 ($100 entry) to $2,700 for a $400 entry.
