Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: Well, here's what I'd propose. Why not do a $250 league with an online draft the week before Opening Day since this league has a shorter season and cuts, injuries, etc., are even more important for this league. We could draft the Wednesday before Opening Day and ...

Originally posted by fandango: jersey paul, a cure for you losing interst by the all-star break is simple...FIELD A COMPETITIVE TEAM..try it some year you may like it! it actually gets more exiting as the seaosn wears on if you drafted properly... This is why I love the NFBC/NFCC. Such a nice bunch ...

I must admit, football is my favorite fantasy sport. I think the shorter season has a lot to do with it but there are lots of other reasons also. I find that my interest in fantasy baseball starts to wane about the All-Star break. Would there be any interest in a half season satellite? We could play...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Great suggestions. Add a 10 second mandatory clock runoff per pick, and if the time runs out on you...you get NO PLAYER, and the next team is on the clock...just like the Main Event...after that player selects...you (the one who didn't select a player) get a 5 ...

Bucks, I feel your pain but I have the opposite problem with online baseball drafts. There are so many positions and so many players that after the first couple of rounds where things are pretty predictable, it takes me several seconds to find and scratch off players taken. With an online draft ther...

I think this is a great idea. The smaller buy-in is very appealing as I'm not competitive (yet) in fantasy baseball. I was going to give up but this would allow me to continue to compete. It's such a long time between the Super Bowl and serious football draft preparation, we need something to fill t...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Response from Jason Grey, Lisa, Please remit a full refund to John Crane. If I get it. Thank you. Seems to me the "If I get it" is totally uncalled for and an indication of Mr. Crane's unreasonable attitude. As for information sources, use them, but use them wisely ...

29th for me. The 15th/16th are my travel days with the dog from southern Fla back to NJ.



Setting lineups at the draft is no problem. The other event does it for football for week 1 as they draft the day before the first Sunday games. Just indicate bench players ...easier to mark 7 than mark 23

March 22

For fun, here's what Shandler says about my draft (starters only), if only it were true:

rbi 1113

avg 278

w 108

sv 72

First shot at NFBC baseball. I think it's okay but I was a bit stressed. My analysis is that I'm a little weak in BA but power and speed will be fine. I'm counting on several young players with upside. My pitching should also be competitive and hopefully one of the rumored trades for Jorge Julio wil...

I don't see the NFBC listed on the Javits event list for March. Can you tell us what Javits space you have been assigned...e.g. Level 1, Level 2, Level 3.



Thanks

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Morning Greg! I've heard your rational on capping the number of signups...but wouldn't it be nice to have a sliding scale for 2008? Example... If 450 signups...League winners get $6,000.00, etc. A creative/profitable sliding scale to allow maximum signups, as w...

Greg, I know you don't like to remove posts, but I think you should get rid of those spam threads before they take over the boards.

and... o The red highlight for expected starts is really hit or miss, it can't be relied upon when setting lineups. o Free sites have real time standings updates, one would think that this feature is a bit overdue. That really adds to the enjoyment and anything that encourages participation should b...

Just for the record, I dropped Uggla to pick up a 2B because I couldn't wait the 2 weeks to get a 2B starter.



I'll be very disappointed to know I didn't have to do that. If you change the eligibility after the fact I'd like you to reverse the drop of Uggla in the $500 Mar 7 League.

Ummm, excuse the interruption, didn't I read somewhere on these boards that the 2005 Champion was a "newbie" at the time. It seems pretty arrogant to think that experience playing in the NFBC is a measure of fantasy competence. I used to play in a 30 member group that played fantasy sports all year ...

I won't be home to take your call. You can go ahead and charge the cc and pick the order.

One spot remains for the $500 Satellite League on Tuesday, March 7th. We will not offer another $500 league on that date, so let me know if you want the last spot. Thanks everyone. I'll take that last spot.

You know it but I'll say it... Greg can never, ever admit that an early draft pick is better than a late draft pick. At the heart of growing this business must be the assumption that all draft positions have an equal chance of winning and skill plus luck will decide the outcome. The fact is, so much...

The Expo Center will be difficult for those who don't want to drive or are coming by plane, train, or bus to NY for the draft. Regional bridge tournaments are held at the Crowne Plaza hotel in the Meadowlands. It is a 15 minute bus ride from Port Authority. The Crowne Plaza and other similar hotels ...
