Let's Close Out Early Online Championship Leagues Soon

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, I looked at the 16 options we have for the NFBC Online Championship League and if we close out all of the leagues we currently have partial owners in we'll be in the 530's, so it's time for Tom and me to shut some of these down and get draft picks announced before we leave for the live drafts. If we don't do that, we'll be forced to move owners to different draft dates and have more work than needed.



So here's the plan: The Online Championship draft days for March 28, 29, and 30 will be closed out once we get perfect 12-team leagues next week. If you want to secure a spot in these early drafts, do so ASAP because I want to close these out, randomly pick the draft spots, run the KDS preferences and announce the draft picks. Then we can get the leagues set up on MockDraftCentral.com and with STATS and get moving on this. There will still be later options to jump into, but we can't go beyond 600 teams according to our rules so it's time to start closing some of these leagues out.



I mentioned the KDS deadline for all of these is Tuesday, March 17th. We won't lock the Draft Preferences out on the 17th, but just note that you should start finalizing those KDS preferences and once we have these leagues filled we'll put the exact deadline on the boards for each particular draft date. It's time to get moving on these and allow folks to prepare for their draft spots.



So look at the following signup list as of this morning and note that these will all be closed out once we get to 24 teams, 36 teams or 48 teams. That's enough for the early dates and I want to get moving on these. Here's the lineup card for each now and I'll take them off the registration page once they're full. Thanks all.
