Hello and welcome to the SEVENTH RazzSlam spectacular, RazzSlam 7! We are once again hosted by the folks over at NFBC.
For those who are unfamiliar, in the simplest terms possible, RazzSlam is a fantasy baseball tournament that pits “Pros vs Joes”. There has been a steady mix of Pros who have won (Bob Cyphers of Dynasty Guru, Euan Leith of Rotoballer), and the Joes have stepped up as well (Joe Asher & last year’s champ: Robert Goldman). So, hop in and see what you’ve got!
Here’s what you need to know about RazzSlam 7:
Invites have already gone out to anyone who has played in the past. Check your email (including spam). There is no need to fill out this form if you’ve already received an invite. The form below is only for new players who want a shot at the action.

Too late to ask another question Matt, since I am new to Razzslam and NFBC?
Question relates to our first FAAB waivers run this week. The rule give an example to conditional bids as follows:
Example:
Acquire Jo Adell, $19, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Luis Rengifo, $16, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Ben Joyce, $2, cut Jorge Soler
However, I expect to be making more bids on players than I have players to cut, and don’t want to lose the bid because I already cut the player in another bid. So, using those examples above, would it also be feasible (not ridiculous) to structure based on the acquisitions, not the cuts?
Alternate Example:
Acquire Jo Adell, $19, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Jo Adell, $19, cut Sparky Anklebiter
Acquire Jo Adell, $19, cut Nadir Bupkus
Acquire Luis Rengifo, $16, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Luis Rengifo, $16, cut Sparky Anklebiter
Acquire Luis Rengifo, $16, cut Nadir Bupkus
Acquire Ben Joyce, $2, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Ben Joyce, $2, cut Sparky Anklebiter
Acquire Ben Joyce, $2, cut Nadir Bupkus
Will this work??
that will work, yes. you can also do waterfall bids which i think makes this easier, but i honestly haven’t taken the time to learn them, i just do what you say in the second part here, which is more work, but makes sense to my brain.
Thanks!
Hi Matt, In the RCL league sign ups, your $20 league and the one below it, have the wrong day or date. At the bottom of the sign up list.
good catch, thanks!
Hopefully all my guys don’t get hurt or suck this year!
Hope I get picked. It will give me another excuse not to grade papers.
PS: My mentor teacher was Jeff Kent’s high school baseball coach and he has stories.
oh yes, we are back!
I entered. Will be fun to see if I get in. Good thing it’s free since I am Dead Money (should be my team name).
Is Shohei Ohtani a single player in this league format, or does he get drafted as both a hitter and pitcher? Poked around on the NFBC and RazzSlam rules and couldn’t quite figure that one out.
Pretty sure he is both and gets used wherever he scored more
Thanks! Makes that first pick kinda huge. :)
Definitely a cheat code
I’d like to play, is it true for fantasy baseball, you have to be 38 and older?
it absolutely is, yes
haha
New Fantrax Dynasty Baseball League – Founding Members Wanted
I am starting a brand new Fantrax Dynasty league from scratch and looking for dedicated managers to join. Here are the core details:
• League Size: 12 teams
• Buy-in: $50
• Format: Classic Roto categories
• Rosters: 40-man total (26 active/bench + 14 Minor League spots)
• The Initial Draft: A 40-round Snake Draft. (It’ll be a marathon the first time, but it sets the foundation for years to come!)
• Player Pool Rules: No mid-season pickups for players drafted this year or J2 (International) signings. The goal is to keep those for the annual supplementary drafts.
• Future Drafts: Linear (non-snake) in reverse order of the previous year’s standings.
