If you considered an online type of $500 or $250 per team event patterned after the Main Event would you feel the need to run the leagues concurrently or do you feel having multiple draft days (making it flexible for many entrants )over the space of a week is a non factor ?
I believe any gains a later draft has via injury and starting jobs are offset by the earlier drafts getting part time players late that are now move up 10 places as starters.
Same day or week long shotgun start ! ?
As you know, I said last year I would have that type of format for 2008 and then an online deal fell through that prevented us from having a daily promotional vehicle to drive those events. That being said, the plan is in place to have those type of national contests at $125, $250 and $500 in 2009 as we have another online idea in place that would drive traffic to those games.
Those games would have multiple draft dates over several days, allowing owners to play in multiple leagues within the same contest. We'd announce how many leagues we'd have on each day and folks who want to draft later better sign up earlier. It's a beast of a schedule, but it's something I'm trying to figure out already for next year.
And yes, they'd be week-long shotgun starts.

And then we'll have our eye candy for Draft Day.
