The Plan Of Attack For the Main Event

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 2:38 am

Okay, I know everyone wants to see their leagues and draft spots today and in a perfect world that would happen. We're beyond 330 teams for the main event and have full leagues in three of the four cities. One league will have phone-ins, but we'll make that work.

Unfortunately, we are still finalizing payments on several teams and are awaiting credit cards to clear. If most of that happens today, it's possible we could pick the leagues and announce them later today. But I think the chances of that are 25-75. If by the end of the business day we have most of the credit cards through, Tom and I will work late and still pick the leagues tonight and announce them later. I guess I could see a scenario where we announce them tomorrow, but I'll update you on that if it happens.

I'm not trying to tease anyone or mislead you as we aren't trying to squeeze every cent out of this event. We're more concerned with finalizing the signups we have now and not replacing someone whose credit card declined but who really wanted to be in. So just allow our accounting department to work through this today and we'll see what happens around 4-5 o'clock.

We will announce the Ultimate Leagues soon (after Tom is done doing a radio show) and most of the auction leagues have already been announced. That leaves us with the main event, which we're working hard on now. Just let us get this done today and don't worry if the sound on the message boards from us today is deafening. We are working to get this done early.

Bumb - Hey any mention at all of even a remote possibility of league and pick announcements late tonight deserves a bump to the top rung.

Credit card approval #327... approval #328...

Our goal is to announce the leagues and the draft spots today by 5 p.m. CST!!! It's our goal, but not final.
