NFBC Platinum & Diamond Leagues Are SOLD OUT

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, we gave all of last year's participants in the NFBC Platinum and Diamond Leagues through Dec. 31st to retain their spots, while still allowing new members to sign up. We reached everyone this week and now have a full league for both contests.

The NFBC Platinum will be held at the Park MGM on Saturday, March 23rd at 5 pm PT. Thirteen of the 15 owners from last season are back again this year, the 6th year of the Platinum. The final lineup card looks like this:

The NFBC Diamond League also had 13 of 15 returning members. We currently have three other owners who want to get into this contest and a few other owners who have asked me about a second Diamond League. Now that we have this one full, yes, we will look at a time that would work for a second Diamond League. Stay tuned. Here's the final lineup card for this one:

Thanks to everyone for filling up these great private high-dollar leagues. Let the Games Begin. Oh, and give me some feedback if you think a second Diamond league has merit and when we should fit this in. I'm listening. Thanks all.

Greg - I'd probably be interested in joining a second Diamond league (snake draft variety) if held on Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon (assuming I can move a few leagues around). Thanks.

Greg - Please add me to the "interested in 2nd diamond draft" group.
