SOLD OUT: March 29th NFBC Diamond League

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are moving closer to a full NFBC Diamond League on Sunday, March 29th at 10 am PT. This is the 6th straight year that we've offered this league and Bob Particelli has won the last two titles. This has been one of the most competitive leagues we've offered in recent years and this year should be no different. Let's do it.

Okay, we have a couple of owners who will be calling in their picks and watching the results online, just like we did last year, but most of the drafters will be live in Las Vegas. We can accommodate owners either way. Here's a look at our current signup list as we close in on another full league:

SOLD OUT: Okay, the Sunday Diamond Draft League is currently Sold Out with 15 owners. I have to make a couple of phone calls first, but I think this one is a go. Five of the owners will be on the phone to make their picks and they all are veterans of this process. They will see every pick on the same draft room that we'll be using in Las Vegas and we'll make the voice part of this smoother and quieter this year. Okay, Sunday morning in Las Vegas at the Bellagio at 10 am PT and this is a go. Good luck all and enjoy.

Here's the final lineup card for this Sunday morning Diamond League:

Just when you think you have everything set....

NOW 1 SPOT LEFT in the NFBC Diamond Draft League on Sunday, March 29th at 10 am PT!! One owner is dropping out of this league now that the Platinum is a go and willing to give up his spot. This is a live draft in Las Vegas, but we can fit someone in on the phone/online. We'd love to add another live drafter if possible. I was going to send out an email on Thursday to everyone in this league to vote on how we're going to pick draft spots and I'll probably still do that with the group we have here. But if you want this last spot, sign up Online or let me know ASAP. Thanks all.

Nice.

[Glenneration X]

Great news. The Bob Particelli Diamond Trust Fund Invitational is a go.

[ALL-IN JD]

Great news. The Bob Particelli Diamond Trust Fund Invitational is a go.

Just how many of those damn things are there???

[Hells Satans]

Too much pressure. I'm aiming for 4th place.

I will send out an email to all Diamond Draft League owners later today, but just a heads up that I had a typo in my previous email. The majority of owners (8) wanted KDS for draft spots compared to 5 who wanted FAAB. We are going with KDS for draft spots in the NFBC Diamond Draft League on Sunday, March 29th.

The followup email had the majority of people asking for draft spots closer to the draft date. Only two owners requested draft spots 5-6 days out. We will go with a KDS deadline of Wednesday, March 25th and draft spots announced on Thursday morning, March 26th. Diamond Draft League spots will be announced before the Platinum, so owners in both events will have plenty of time to know their draft spots in the Diamond before bidding for draft spots in the Platinum.

We will finalize the Platinum bidding date shortly. I need to make a couple of phone calls there first. Thanks all.
