New $125 NFBC Draft Champions League Slow Draft No. 1

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 7:20 am

There seems to be growing interest for the 45-round, Draft Champions League Slow Draft format at this time of year and I've had some requests to start up a league with a $125 price level. It will be good practice for the main event in March, so let's see if we can get enough interest to fill one up. It will be Pay Top 3, same payout as a normal $125 Satellite League and a Slow Draft of 12 hours per pick. Just realize that there will be no in-season FAAB moves as the 45-man roster you draft is what you get.

Okay, here's the format and the first three signups. I think all three said they wanted to be part of this:

NFBC $125 Draft Champions Satellite League Slow Draft, 45 Rounds

Pay Top 3, $1,000 for first, $375 for second, $125 for third

1. Paul Spradling

2. Scott Nordby

3. Jarobi

4. Jim Stanard

5. Baseball Furies

6. bbshea25

7. Jack Haan

8. Jason Duponte

9. Ed Nolan

10. Pete Lukowicz

11. Richard Kulawski

12. Brett Long

13. Paul Weber

14. James Griffin

15. Tim Francis

I am confused...is there going to be a $125 slow draft, 45 round, no FAAB league? The thread between that and the $125 slow draft, but otherwise regular league, seem to be mixed. If th 45 round/no FAAB is started, please include me. Thank you

Thanks,

J Got it. Yup, I agree. The message boards are almost worth the price of admission as everyone seems to be conversing and trading baseball tips, etc. These have been going real, real well. Good luck and I'm sure we'll fill this one up eventually.

Will MDC have a autopick function so we can have a few guys qued up if we know we can't check the board for a few hours?

There is an autopick option, but you need to check that option AND leave your MDC window open for it to work. And make sure you have enough players queued up or you get the top pick in the ranking list.
