Re: Open Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik
Well hotel rates in Vegas thru at least April are now about what they were in year one for the NFBC, if not lower. The hotel industry is getting crushed. Here in San Diego hotel occupancies that were usually 70% or higher are hovering around 20% at best. And nowhere are hotels being impacted more th...

Re: Corona virus - NO BULLSHIT Thread
I think the unknown with the Coronavirus is what brings various viewpoints and concerns to this discussion. I'm reading as much as anybody on this situation and following the suggestions of those that I consider the true experts on this subject. With that, I'm 100% committed to being live in Vegas n...

Re: Coronavirus NFBC Travel
Coronavirus testing in the U.S. is about to increase significantly. We already saw what the result of increased testing yielded in Italy. Yesterday the 5th largest tennis tournament in the world (BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells) was cancelled due to one individual in the same country testing positi...

Re: March 29 Main Event Leagues
So let's see here...I get to sit between the 3rd ranked (Rick Thomas) and 6th ranked (Lindy Hinkelman) overall Main Event participants according to KJ's blog rankings. At least they're two of the nicest guys in the NFBC.

Re: Diamond League
Just wait 'til Thursday night when the draft order process takes place for the $20k Platinum League. Somebody is going to have to draft from the back-end of the draft. Will be interesting to see how those owners who receive bad draft spots (in their opinion) react.

Re: Triple Play Main Event Prize $300,000, proposal
So...what happened with the "side pot" action? I guess this is a no go? Seems like a pretty easy revenue stream, but sounds like it's lost steam. (might want to change the title so that those that weren't around back then aren't confused about the Main) Would have been great in my opinion...too bad...

Re: Win $200,000 In The Debut NFBC Platinum League
Sorry, but the rules are the rules. And as I recall, Greg was adamant about changing them at all for last year's second Diamond, so there is no reason that it should be fair to me and others who signed up for this event as it was listed that he should start changing them now after the fact. If both ...

Re: Let's Create the ULTIMATE NFBC Draft Day Event In 2013
I'm in for both weekends regardless of the Easter holiday...hopefully that doesn't make me a bad person.
If it helps to have a main event on the second weekend, the Saturday of Easter weekend, maybe you move the start time up an hour to help those who want/need to fly home that Saturday.

Shouldn't we be able to make changes up to 5 minutes in advance of the game the player is in?

If I end up making the final cut for this league, I would agree with Roundtrippers. Leave the KDS system/process as is would be my vote.

Tax Question
I was more than honest...didn't even claim all of my fantasy league entry fees. But I know that adding the Schedule C and referencing a portion of the Platinum League entry fee of $25k will raise eyebrows. If an audit comes, I'll be fine...but dealing with the IRS is never constructive or time frien...
