NFBC Message Boards

Sounds great, Greg. Very happy that, at least as of now, we're slated to get a full MLB season with an on-time start date. Especially looking forward to the NFBC's live drafts in NYC and Vegas. Always an awesome time. It's like Christmas in March for me! Hope you/we can pull it off.

Actually, just to clarify, I’m pretty sure that if you Auto draft for Round 20, it will work as follows: (a) it will draft the top player in your Round 20 queue; (b) if none left, it will draft the top player in your general, “All Rounds” queue; and (c) if none left, it will draft the top player in ...

Pretty sure that if you are on Auto and your queue is empty, you will draft the top guy in the default list. It’s never happened to me, but that’s my understanding.

That's good to know for the queue by round. Maybe someone else can confirm? As for the 2 AM I do get the west coast thing but pausing the clock doesn't stop them from drafting. I assumed I wasn't the only one because most drafts i've seen, the pace really slows down after Midnight ET so it seemed l...

I'm signed up for the December 22 Auction championship. Hoping some of you guys that expressed interest will sign up. Ronald Acuna could be yours. Big League Wood, Rickenbacker, Andy, Misters Major and Maples, etc Are you guys getting in ? If you sign up soon, you get a bonus where you can bid on e...

I’d be up for a DC Auction in December if there was interest in that format.

Mike

Agree 100%. Well said. Bonehead decision pulling Snell when he did.

Just wanted to quickly weigh-in and support your position that there should be some greater penalty for timing out without anyone in your queue. I would prefer to see a single default list without updates be used. I would rather have folks have to search for players that may be lower on the list tha...

Another vote for $1,200 entry fee, $5,000 top league prize, and $100,000 top overall prize. Like others, I'll also be grabbing multiple Main Event teams.

Nice job today, guys. Impossible situation handled really well.

Mike

“Looking more and more like there will be no Baseball season?” Not sure I agree with that. I have to believe owners and players will work it out, rather than the alternative...NOTHING and risk jeopardizing a % of the fan base for next year. As for me, I’m very much looking forward to the season and...

Well, I certainly understand why you're still drafting! Man, life without sports is just not as much fun. In a normal May, I can't even imagine how much time I spend thinking (obsessing?) about baseball and my fantasy baseball teams, although I'm sure it would horrify the rest of my family if they k...

Totally agree, Dan. In this age of smart phones, e-mail notifications, and the advanced capability of Auto (which now lets you set-up different queues by round), there's no excuse for being habitually slow round after round. Yes, life (and shit) happens, and sometimes more time is needed. In my expe...

Now, that was fun. Started at 6 pm EST and knocked out almost 22 rounds the first night. Most guys were hanging out in Zoom chatting and BS’ing for the bulk of the evening. Great idea by MTM and a fun lockdown distraction.

Hey, Greg. Quick question. I recall you indicating previously that the NFBC would be adjusting minimum innings pitched levels assuming we have a baseball season. That makes sense, as does waiting to know how long any season might be before deciding what those levels should be. Apologies if you've co...

Great post, Dan. This has been the most challenging season to prepare and draft for from a fantasy perspective. Remember when we were stressed out about not knowing what type of ball MLB would be using? LOL. We went from that to not knowing when the season would start, to now readjusting everyone to...

Greg - Have the dates been chosen for the $150 and $500 Auctions/DC (the non-FAAB) leagues? Can’t seem to find them; I apologize if they’re posted and I’m just missing them. Definitely would be interested in ones at both price points, preferably on a Saturday or Sunday evening. Thanks.

Mike

Awesome, Dan. Great job. You, indeed, are the poet laureate of fantasy baseball.

Your selection also is apropos. For many of us, including me and you, the NFBC live drafts truly are “Christmas in March,” and we surely have been robbed this year.

Mike

Great question. Was just chatting about this very recently. For me, it was October 6, 1978. Attending my first Yankees play-off game. Seats in the nose bleeds. It was Game 3 of the ALCS, Royals at Yankees. Series was tied 1-1. Yankees wound-up winning 6-5 in a thriller. Had to look up the date and s...

no one could have anticipated this pandemic and the delay to the season starting Hi Mike - I stay in touch with a number of NFBC'ers throughout the offseason. about a week before NYC weekend, i know a couple of us were adjusting our Weekend 1 draft strategy and player rankings due to a possible del...

Not sure if this has already been covered but what about drafts that have already taken place? Are we just going to keep those teams despite the drastic changes happening? Most of my teams are good but here and there I have guys that will have completely different outlooks whenever new OD is (IE wi...

Really tough room, but, man, that was fun! For those on the fence, definitely encourage folks to draft some during this down period. Although I was totally bummed about everything going on, including but not limited to cancellation of the live events that I so look forward to every year, having this...

Man, that sucks. Tom, try to have a happy birthday. Just know that all of your efforts (all three of you) to try to salvage the live drafts when it looked potentially feasible, and your timely calls when it became impossible, were and are greatly appreciated. If it makes you feel any better, there a...

Agree 100%.

Good to hear, Wayne. Feel the same way. If there are planes flying, and drafts being held, I will be in Vegas, too. Period. Looking forward to seeing you and others there.

Mike

Greg - I'm glad to hear that the plan still is to move forward with NYC this weekend (and, hopefully, Vegas next weekend). I'm definitely planning to attend if it's on. Really looking forward to drafting and seeing everyone. Similar to Mike's post above, I'll have some extra time on Saturday after t...
