Originally posted by CC's Desperados: I can't speak for everyone, but I know a few of us would rather have a pay out like this for that investment: 1st $75,000 2nd $35,000 3rd $20,000 4th $10,000 The $100,000 on top is nice, but I think keeping one more team profitable and one more team breaking eve...

When you are ponying up that kind of cash, making just one more person "happy" makes a bug difference.

Originally posted by CC's Desperados: I was under the impression that everyone would have their name on their pass. Maybe I read it wrong. I thought he was showing his pass and what it would look like. I don't see how it could be meant any other way... This is what it said: Ryan Houston's Exclusive ...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Your posts on the other hand are on the verge of being pompous, arrogant, and elitist. I'm not one that usually throws those terms out there. Dough - You mean the " Ryan Houston's Exclusive VIP Party" pass was a bit much? I gotta admit, I woulda thought it would say s...

I guess we won't see Gekko working down at his local soup kitchen anytime soon! actually my wife and older daughter volunteer every wednesday working at some kind of food pantry.

Originally posted by Ryan E. Houston: We discussed the concept of cutting back but we all felt that paying out more spots was important. We want people to receive something for a great year. If you finish in the Top 10 in this (overall) - you deserve something and that's what we put together. I unde...

Don't get mad at us, but you can have multiple teams this is one topic, you aren't fighting me on!

Greg - why do all of the main event drafts on Saturday need to start at the same time?



why not start them all at 10am local time? then you could have a second Saturday main event beginning at 4 or 5 pm.

Originally posted by Lunatic: Lets see; Jim Christie is leading Las Vegas 7 and the OA; Jim Christie Las Vegas 11 is 200OA and 9th in league; but in Las Vegas 11 is Ken Magner who is also 2nd OA; Ken is right behind OA Jim Christie; Jim Christie in Las Vegas 11 can do some unique roster moves to pre...

greg - with such a drastic change, i gotta ask, why wasn't this floated on the NFBC MB BEFORE a decision was made? you could have received feedback from your people!



i don't care as much as most of the people on here, but clearly this was a drastic change.

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: 6th = $800 7th = $800 8th = $800 9th = $800 10th = $800 greg - in the 390 team main event, you only pay out the top 11 places. in this 150 team event, you are paying out the top 10 places. any chance you can cut out the 6th-10th place prize and reapply them elsew...

Originally posted by Dirt Dogs: sounds good greg, I see your point and i dont feel there is any advantage to double drafting. I just like the fact that the main event is a one owner/one team right now. Unless you have guys drafting teams for you, but unless Gekko/Childs and others are Houdini when t...

Originally posted by Dirt Dogs:

Thats impossible, unless your having someone draft it for you but even at that it's not 100% your team.

you draft one team. your friend using your cheatsheet drafts the other. i believe Shawn himself tried this strategy.

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: ...now imagine the MB full of complaints when new players didn't fully grasp it and didn't enter their bids correctly. i call BS on that. you don't see people spending $1,000 or $999 on their first free agent pickup of the year in week one, do you? of course no...

Originally posted by Dirt Dogs: Dont you feel that the odds he has to win are now greater?? shawn would have also paid his entry fee twice. agreed that i wouldn't want to compete against TWO shawn child's, but there's ALREADY owners who had 2 or more teams in the NFBC/NFFC. And yes, Childs is one of...

listen - i look for every edge possible when competing. i don't see ANY clear advantage for the early drafters. personally, i am one who will always prefer to draft with the most information possible. i will likely only choose the second weekend, and i don't think i'm at any disadvantage to the earl...

the best and most efficient way to allocate draft slots is blind bidding. THE SAME WAY FREE AGENTS ARE ALLOCATED. you want the hot free agent of the week (or draft slot #1), you need to pay for him. same concept. KDS and/or 3RR are only Band-Aids. if people can **** away $300 FAAB on Jake Fox or Sco...

So on the weekend there are THREE chances to draft an auction team, but only ONE chance for a main event team? Friday, March 26th, Las Vegas: 9 a.m. $800 Auction Championship 4 p.m. $800 Auction Championship Saturday, March 27th: Las Vegas, New York City, Chicago: 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST/noon CST: NF...

couple questions...

1. i guess there is only ONE main event offering 100K, correct?

2. any chance for a Sunday main event?

Originally posted by Gekko: It’s always my hope this time of year to limit the # of leagues I’m in next year. Right now, I’ll say I’m in no more than 4 weekly manage leagues. That # could change depending on how the main event is set up or if there is finally an overall auction championship. WTF??? ...

Howdy folks. Right now I’m a bit under the weather, and there’s only so much TV I can watch, so I figured I’d write an NFBC wrap up. I was in 8 leagues this year (6 faab and 2 slow drafts). Beginning in June, my wife and I started experiencing some difficulties when it came to our pregnancy (origina...

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: The league champions list is a little more top-heavy towards the early part of the draft, which is a bit surprising because injuries to Jose Reyes and David Wright seemed to be pretty damaging 2009 Main Event League Champions & Their Draft Spots: No. 1: 3 teams N...
