Main Event Leagues: Friday, 11 a.m. EST

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Mar 04, 2008 6:23 am

Okay, it's obvious that we are going to have 390 teams for the main event by the end of this week. We currently have 382 paid teams and I have enough "fence-sitters" to know how this is going to play out. This is as perfect as it gets in the NFBC with four cities at once. Thanks everyone for your support.



The KDS deadline for the main event, Ultimate Leagues and Super Leagues is Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST. I'm not sure if STATS will lock that feature at that point or not, but either way we will get all of that data from them at that point and seed the teams shortly after that. Good luck with your KDS decisions this week.



We will announce the Ultimate Leagues and the Super Leagues on Thursday, likely around 11 a.m. EST. I don't see any problems with these leagues, but we do have to run all of the credit cards first before announcing these draft orders. So look for those drafts orders on Thursday.



We'll announce the main event leagues and draft orders on Friday at 11 a.m. EST. I don't see any problem hitting that deadline. We'll announce the leagues one-by-one, city-by-city on the NFBC General Discussion Message Board and then e-mail the entire draft order to everyone shortly after that. Let's create some record traffic on the site and have fun with this. After all, Draft Day is like Christmas Day, but learning your draft spot is like Christmas Eve!! :D



I will start with Las Vegas with the leagues since LV sold out first and has the most teams. Awesome job out there. Chicago might be next. We'll see and have fun with it on Friday morning.



So there's the schedule of events for this week. Anyone excited yet? Again, thank you to everyone who signed up for the NFBC this year as we're having a record season and the best is yet to come. Good luck everyone and let the countdown begin.
