What a fantastic way to circumvent the "Wait List." I wonder if additional partnerships are going to be announced for the NYC Ultimate.
Should be a fun night!

Re: NFBC Site Is Live For The 2020 Season
FUN FACT: We took in more revenue in signups during our first 24 hours of 2020 than we did during our entire FIRST YEAR of the NFBC. :shock: That's the truth. It's fun to see how far the NFBC has grown in 17 years. Thanks all and let's keep it going. :D It's truly amazing when you think of it in th...

Re: Rules for 2020
3. Is it necessarily an advantage if you have players in a Game 163? What if you have 5 hitters and they combine to go 0 for 20? Or your starting pitcher gets bombed? No guarantees here. If you had $125K riding on that last day and you were tied for the lead, would prefer to have five hitters and a...

Re: Rules for 2020
Three additional points that have not yet been mentioned: 1. We pay a premium at the draft or auction for players on good teams. Part of the reason is that competitive MLB squads are less likely to shut down their players late in the season. This argument could be extended to teams that could potent...

Re: Building Leagues in the NFBC
I’m not going to soil this thread with endless posts and pictures, but I do have one question for the leagues that you have had a hand in building (PreMature, Mia, etc.): There were an initial group of 15 people that agreed to participate in these leagues. Over time, 1 or 2 or maybe more of those 15...

Re: NYC Ultimate League
From a neutral point of view, I've been mostly an auction guy but I do a few drafts over my 4 years......I agree with Doughboys and with Mike. To me, since Mike organized this pool, promoted this pool, and spent time and money on this pool, he SHOULD get to decide who gets in. He is making money (a...

Re: NYC Ultimate League
Do I smell a side bet? What’s a good figure KoQ? 10K? 20K? (Assuming mikey passes his credit check and he’s not considered a deadbeat) I’m hoping mikey doesn’t dodge a main event champ. That would be pretty damn cowardly! Since I've already poked the bear, it's time to turn my focus to the sleeping...

Re: NYC Ultimate League
But after that we're in the business of filling leagues. Now Mike likely has a waiting list from past seasons for this league, just like I will create a list of backups who want to be next on the list for other private high-dollar leagues. This happens all the time and I'm sure the New York Ultimat...

I also hope that you are not allowing a contestant in a contest to determine who gets in and who doesn’t. It should be first come first serve like every other league on your platform Correct, Kent. With that said, this probably requires further clarification: And there is no one on here to ask but ...

Re: NYC Ultimate League
I’m sure that a phantom “Waiting List” will be used as the excuse to keep Mark out of this league. The same thing happened to me two years ago when I tried to join. Apparently Mike threatened to quit the NFBC if he was forced to be in a league with me. FEAR

Re: Rules for 2020
it’s beyond ridiculous that MLB needs a tie-breaker game at all. It’s the only major sport where this happens. Even sports with long regular seasons like basketball or hockey have intricate formulas (H2H, conference record, SOS, record vs common opponents) to determine who’s in and who’s out. Nevert...

Re: Rules for 2020
A fantasy team having five playoff players to another's zero, is not a more skillful team. Just lucky in that they now have more chances to gain points. How about owners of Tigers and White Sox players that only got a maximum of 161 games? Were they unskilled? Or just unlucky? It's all part of the ...

Re: Rules for 2020
If we are not going to count games that are considered part of the MLB regular season, I would be favor of scrapping the last week or two. You want to talk about luck? No one has any idea who is starting or even playing down the stretch. The additional game has been part of our rules since 2004. Eve...
