Greyson
Founder · The 500 Championship Series

I'm Greyson. I've been playing fantasy football for over 10 years. I've spent more time than I'd like to admit obsessing over waiver wires, streaming defences, and chasing that championship feeling. The 500 is what happens when that obsession finally had somewhere to go.

I built this because I wanted something that didn't exist yet. A massive, high stakes tournament that still felt like a real community. A place where the competition is serious and the money is real, but nobody feels left out. Can't swing the buy-in on your own? Grab a friend or two, split the entry, run the team together. If you win, you all win. That's the whole vibe.

This isn't your average fantasy league. It's a two year ride built for people who actually care about the game and want to compete for something that means something. Come to have fun, stay to compete, leave with a trophy and a story.

Feel free to ask me anything.

How It Works
Simple structure.
Massive stakes.
01
Sign up & pay your entry
Secure your spot for $500 (or $450 early bird). You're assigned to one of 10 leagues of 12 players.
02
Compete in Year 1
Full NFL season. League prizes up for grabs. Top 2 from each league advance to the Grand Championship.
03
Redraft & return
20 qualifiers enter a fresh redraft. New teams, same talent. Two groups of 10 battle for the Final 8.
04
The Final 8
Single elimination. Quarterfinals, semis, then the Grand Championship. One player lifts The Pinnacle Cup.
05
Win The Pinnacle Cup
$66,700. The trophy. The title. The bragging rights. Earned over two full seasons of competition.
06
Non-qualifiers still play
Didn't advance? You're entered in the Consolation Tournament — a separate Year 2 season with its own prize pool.
