We'll then fill in those last two spots with people who desperately want to get into the first weekend of main events with a hookup. What else can we do if we can't find two more East Coasters to draft with us. We'll patch them in for a full 45 and hand out draft spots by Friday of this week at the latest. Get ready, we're almost there.

Since it was presented as full previously, so people might have stopped looking for it. Have you sent out a mass email to the east coast fanball users that 2 spots re-opened?



I know at least one person who joined new this year in AC as a current fanball user from the general area that played CDM games but never had taken the plunge to NFBC until this year.



I myself am a CDM player that heard about NFBC from word of mouth from the community and through fantasy sports magazine.



The CDM Diamond Challenge costs about $500 a year per team to play to win significant money. The market is out there of diehard fantasy guys who also have the dough to prove it. It's a niche market, but it's a market.



Sorry for my babbling, hope we get these two spots filled.

We can sure use some Atlantic City auction guys for that Sunday, 3/21 too. Might need 7 or 8 as it is hard to tell. One link shows 7 playing another says 8. Fot those of us who need to arrange travel plans it is getting close to decision time...
OK - So I'm not as good as I thought I was; but at least I am consistent.

Fot those of us who need to arrange travel plans it is getting close to decision time... Correct Pete and this one is unraveling in front of us. We were at 9 and I thought we had a friend of yours to make 10, but now it's going the other way. We have tried to call everyone on the list with options to possibly move to another event if this falls through, but I think by tomorrow we'll know what is going to happen to this league. It doesn't look good, unfortunately.



Now, if two of these guys would slip into the main event instead, that could help us in another way. ;)

Hi Greg,

Since it seems fairly likely that the draft orders for the first weekend won't be announced today (assuming that based on AC not being full) can you answer the following two questions....



1. Do you anticipate announcing the leagues and draft orders tomorrow?



2. If you answered yes to the first question, would you be willing to set a time that you plan to announce them? It saves us just checking the page over and over again all day when we are supposed to be working!

Can we fill the auction for 3/21? Looking grim and I would like to put it to bed or prepare my butt off. Travel plans come into play soon too.



TIA - Pete
