SOLD OUT: NFBC 2020 Platinum League

[Greg Ambrosius]

The 7th annual NFBC Platinum League will be held this year on Saturday, March 21st at Park MGM in Las Vegas. We already have a full league for this one and some extras as 13 of 15 owners from last year returned in 2020.

Okay, here's the final list of Platinum League owners and then we'll discuss options for another high-dollar private league:

NFBC PLATINUM LEAGUE
LAS VEGAS, Park MGM
Saturday, March 21, 4 pm PT
1. Jason Duponte
2. Glenn Schroter
3. Doug Moe
4. Paul Jager
5. Larry Schechter
6. Jim Ferrari
7. Joe Martens
8. Bill Phipps/Eric Kesselman
9. KC Cha
10. Jon Stadtmueller
11. Rob Silver/Vlad Sedler
12. Scott Fleming
13. Jason Magoon
14. Andy Robinson
15. John Thompson
16. Mark Srebro (Diamond with FAAB as slot bidding)
17. Jim Ferrari (2nd Platinum or Diamond)
18. Jeff Singer (alternate)
19. Joe Berg (alternate)
20. Brian Slack (Platinum or Diamond)
21. Steve Veneziano
22. Larry Schechter (2nd Diamond or Platinum)
23. Bill Phipps/Eric Kesselman (2nd Diamond or Platinum)
24. KC Cha (2nd Platinum or Diamond)

The NFBC Diamond League on Sunday, March 22nd at 4 pm PT is also SOLD OUT. So the question begs: Is there a different time slot that would work for a third high-dollar private league?

I'll email those on the list now to see what might work and then we'll discuss some dates and times. It might be better to do this closer to Opening Day Online. Or maybe Saturday after the Platinum if most owners can do it live in Las Vegas. We'll kick some ideas around and then see if we can make one more league happen, possibly at the $10,000 level.

Thanks all and stay tuned.

Is a second NFBC Platinum or Diamond League possible? Could be.

We got two more owners who would do a second Platinum or Diamond League if it wasn't at the same time as this Platinum League. Now it's getting interesting as we tentatively have 8 owners interested in a second high-stakes private draft league.

Again, I'm leaning toward a Diamond League and possibly using FAAB as the bidding for draft spots, just like we do in the Platinum League. Now we just have to find a date and time to get this done with a lot of the folks on this list already planning to be in Las Vegas. Let's keep the lines of communication open, but I like the early trend.

I'll put this tentative list here for now:

NFBC Platinum or Diamond League 2:
Date and Time: TBD:
1. Mark Srebro (Diamond)
2. Jim Ferrari (2nd Platinum or Diamond)
3. Jeff Singer (Platinum or Diamond)
4. Joe Berg (Platinum or Diamond)
5. Brian Slack (Platinum or Diamond)
6. Steve Veneziano (Platinum or Diamond)
7. Larry Schechter (2nd Diamond or Platinum)
8. Bill Phipps/Eric Kesselman (2nd Diamond or Platinum)
9. KC Cha (2nd Diamond or Platinum)

Is 8 pm PT on Saturday too late for another draft?
