We're happy to report that we've finalized details for our New York location on the second weekend of the NFBC drafts. We're returning to the New York Hilton in Manhattan, 1335 America of the Avenues. For more details on that hotel, check out their site here:

We have held NFBC and NFFC drafts at the New York Hilton before and we're excited to be returning to Manhattan for our baseball drafts. We'll be there March 30-April 1 and we look forward to returning to our glory of record-number of Main Event leagues. Tom is working with the hotel to get a small room block for our members, so look for those details soon. We're still finalizing the contract, but it's thumbs up all around and everyone is very excited to be back in Manhattan.

Thanks for your patience everyone and plan accordingly. Look for more details from Tom as we get this contract signed, sealed and delivered, but this is DEFINITELY A GO!!! Thanks.

Greg/Tom- Do we know if the Hilton will give any discount? (I doubt since this in NYC) Just wondering? Thanks

Yes, Tom is talking to them about a room block now and for NYC it seemed reasonable. We don't want to give a quote until we know what the price is for sure, but stay tuned and don't book anything yet. We think we will have some type of discounted room rate.

We are officially updating the New York city link now to show the New York Hilton as our host hotel on March 30-April 1. Look for that soon and make your plans now. See ya in the Big Apple.

Just a heads up that we have a chance to get a room block for $259 a night at the Hilton for the weekend of March 30-April 1. Right now online the prices are between $300-$359. We will have a limited room block if we get this into our hotel contract, but hopefully it will save some money for some of you who will be staying in Manhattan. We'll list the code once our contract is finalized. Thanks.

We're putting the finishing touches on everything as we speak Jeff. We should be all systems go for everything, including a discounted room rate, real soon.

We're still working on it. We're waiting for the Hilton to finalize one aspect of the contract and then we will be good to go.
