We currently have 26 full Main Event leagues right now, which means we are trying to fill four more. I believe these three will fill:

2 Spots Left - Saturday, March 25th Main Event Online
8 Spots Left - Saturday, April 1st Las Vegas Main Event
10 Spots Left - Saturday, April 1st Main Event Online

That means we need to fill one more league for a sellout if those fill above. We are currently trying for a 4th league in New York on Saturday, March 25th and we'll keep pushing for that one. We also have left open the Wednesday, March 29th Main Event Online. We need one of those -- not both -- to fill and will see where the next 5 days takes us. Sound good?

Okay, keep the signups coming in. We'd love to be close to a sellout when we leave next week for Las Vegas and New York.

[Greg Ambrosius]

We're glad to welcome back NFBC Charter Member Rick Thomas to the NFBC Main Events this year. RT was among the first signups for our 2004 Main Event and he was a mainstay in Las Vegas for baseball and football for years. Who would forget the little guy with the big pieces of cardboard with his Cheat Sheets taped onto them at every Las Vegas auction and draft?

We missed RT the last couple of years as he got his restaurant in Delaware to flourish. Now he's taking a little time for himself again and jumping back into baseball. Welcome back RT!!!

He took Mains Online on March 30th and April 1st. Let's fill those two leagues up and sell this baby out for a 13th straight season. Thanks all and good luck.

This has definitely been the most amazing week of signups for the Main Event in our 14 year history. We have received 72 Main Event signups in the last 7 days, definitely a record for us. Now let's see if we can close out these last available leagues perfectly and finish at 450....or maybe even 465. Let's see.

Thanks all.

[Greg Ambrosius]

It's great to have NFBC Charter Member Dave Clum back for a 14th straight season. He's taking Mains Online on March 29th and April 1st as he tries to add a baseball national title to his NFFC Primetime overall title. We'll miss Dave in Las Vegas for the first time, but he will be back soon enough. Thanks Champ and best of luck in the Mains.

Wow, now 425 teams locked and loaded for the NFBC Main Event. We better fill these leagues up so that everyone can play. Let's do it.

Time is running out folks. Don't delay if you want to compete for this year's $125,000 grand prize. Thanks all and good luck.

[Greg Ambrosius]

NOW ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT in the Saturday, March 25th Main Event Online. Next one in closes out the Main Event Online for next Saturday. Wow!!

We also are pushing forward for another full Main Event Online league on Saturday, April 1st. Now ONLY 7 SPOTS LEFT in the last Main Event of the season. Wow again!!

We had 13 Main Event signups yesterday and already 9 today. This could be the fastest that we ever sell out the Main Event. Let's keep the momentum going and close the deal here!! Thanks all.

[Greg Ambrosius]

NOW ONLY 9 SPOTS LEFT in the last mid-week Main Event Online of the season. The Wednesday, March 29th 8 pm ET Main Event Online is getting more love this week and we're nearing the halfway point. I think we'll fill this one as well. Great job all and let's keep this one moving. Thanks.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Right now the league that is getting the most love is the Wednesday, March 29th 8 pm ET Main Event Online. We now have ONLY 8 SPOTS LEFT in that one. Jump on in now if you want to compete in the last mid-week Main Event draft of the season.
