Paid bids
The Greater Buffalo Flag Football League will award the 4 on 4 playoff champion of the summer session a full paid bid to the United States Flag and Touch Football Championships held in Kissimmee, FL on January 16, 17 & 18, 2009. A full paid bid covers 100% of a teams registration fee ($285). The GBFFL has also announced it will allow the GBFFL playoff championship team to use the paid bid for 8-man or any other style/division that they choose at the USFTL Nationals. The full paid bid for 4 on 4 is $285, while the full paid bid for 8 on 8, for example, is $460. If the team that wins the GBFFL 4 on 4 Championship on August 17, 2008 wishes to apply their full paid towards 8 on 8, instead of 4 on 4, at the Nationals they may do so. In that case, that team would be responsible for paying the $175 balance. This is also true for the recreational division champion, taking into account the recreational division bid is a half paid bid if there are 8 or more teams in the division ($145). Recreational division championship teams with less than 8 teams in their division will receive a quarter paid bid ($72). Registration closes for the GBFFL summer session on June 25, 2008.
