Greg, Put me down for the last spot in 150 Slow Draft Champions League. I'll go on line

and signup now.

Thanks,

Mike I'll do that. Please post your full name. Thanks and that should do it for the third league. Make sure you sign up online everyone and then we'll have everyone in the system and can run KDS and everything else. I'll set a KDS preferences deadline shortly.

Okay, it looks like $150 Slow Draft #3 is full. We need everyone to go to the Registration page and get entered. Just click on any Sign Up Now link at nfbc.fanball.com and enter your username and password when asked. Then go to Satellite Leagues and click on $150 Slow Draft. It will have a March 31 draft date, but don't worry about that. That's the one we need you to register under.

KDS deadline will be Friday, Dec. 10th at noon ET. Email your KDS preferences to [email protected]. I'll run the draft order on Friday and with any luck we'll have the draft room ready and can get started this weekend. But we can't do that until all 15 owners are registered for this draft online. Thanks all.

Okay, here are the 15 owners for this league:

[/b]$150 Slow Draft League #3

50 Rounds, Draft Champions Format, No FAAB, Pay Top 3

[/b]31. George Sanscharewsky, Michigan

32. Stanley Kaye, Frisco, Texas

33. Brian Feldman, New City, New York

34. Scott Tilley, Augusta, Georgia

35. John Noeske, Oldsmar, Florida

36. Eli Grimmett, New River, Arizona

37. Robert Yero, Sanford, Florida

38. Jeff Kent, Granada Hills, California

39. Chris Garcia, Wesley Chapel, Florida

40. Adam Esmay, Fresno, California

41. Gandolfo Aiosa, Floral Park, New York

Whats the best case time scenario for drafting in your opinion? By Tomorrow? Friday?

Thanks Tom tested the software this afternoon and we had two changes to make. But otherwise everything looked good. We'll have a meeting later today and provide an update. But things are looking good. [/QUOTE]Are we drafting today? This junkie really needs his fix.

[/QUOTE]Tom and I just tested it out and everything looked very good. We have to change some colors on certain positions for the Draft Board and that's about it. Keep your fingers crossed because it looks promising.

The draft room is an exact replica of draftpractice.com for football. Anyone who did pay leagues for football know what we have there. We don't have all of the bells and whistles we had requested for Slow Drafts at this point, but it will get us rolling on the season well enough. The big colored Draft Board will be nice for these 50-round Slow Drafts. They look almost as nice as the ones Doughboys uses!!

The email sends after each pick work too because we received those last night. I'll provide an update shortly, but everything looked good to me this morning. We'll see if we can tweak this last feature and get the ball rolling soon.

Is it sad that I am more excited to get drafting than my small children are for Christmas day?

I find myself checking my email and the boards often for the heads up we are good to go!

Pujols will still be my first pick, unless Gary Sheffield signs on with somebody before I pick.

Gates, I see the Teams are loaded at least in the leagues under your HOME. Interesting.... we must be getting closer!

I'll have a separate announcement shortly, but the plan is to open the software for testing tonight at www.draftpractice.com and if all goes well we will open the Slow Drafts tomorrow morning. Stay tuned for an announcement and we can set up NFBC mock drafts tonight to test out the software. If you want to help us test this, join us online tonight.

Stay tuned.

Are we starting today? Any updates?

Okay, there are more signups coming in and it's time to get the fourth $150 Slow Draft League going. I'll start the signup thread here and continue it going forward. Jeff Butler tried to jump in the last one before it filled, but hopefully he will stay on board to lead us in Slow Draft League #4. Sign up online or post your name here and we'll get this league started as soon as we fill it up next week. Thanks all.

Again, test out the draft software at www.draftpractice.com and make sure you click on the Draft Board in the bottom right hand corner.

Here's the next signup list:
