NFBC Message Boards

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!

Good pick and good luck getting a speech out of him.

Good luck with him being on time as well!

Congrats to KC on achieving one of the highest accolades in season-long fantasy sports. He is clearly one of the best in the business.

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...

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...

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...

Solid response, Dan. As always, thanks for keeping it civil.

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...

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...

Wow, do I smell a Quahogs entry coming soon? This NYC Ultimate Is getting better by the day!

Great news! Can’t wait until March!

NYC Ultimate wait list (updated)

If draft starts at 5pm EDT
1. Mark
2. Glenn
3. Shawn

If draft starts at 8pm EDT
1. Glenn
2. Shawn
3. Mark

If Mike ducks Mark and Glenn
1. Shawn
2. Phantom #1
3. Phantom #2

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...

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 GET TO CALL THE SHOTS AND HAVE THE FINAL SAY. PERIOD END OF STORY. Actually, you don't -- it's up to the SportsHub Games Network to have the "final say." That shouldn't need to be spelled out, but I'm sure Greg can talk about the legal terms that every participant signs prior to the start of this...

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 ...

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

Here’s a challenge for you: Compete against me in the Las Vegas Diamond Auction. You have 5 months to come up with a master plan! MTM with 5 months to develop a plan has to be unstoppable, correct? Unfortunately, I’m sure you will come up with some candy ass excuse not to join that league, but more...

Saturday, March 21st Main Events will start at 11 am PT this year.

Does this mean I can show up at 11:30am?

Still have nightmares about that late arrival. ONE AND DONE.

If anyone is interested in tips on effective FAAB management, please feel free to PM me. There’s always great talent available down the stretch — no fun when you have to sit on the sideline.

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...

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 ...

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...
