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.

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.

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.
