Okay, we have about another week of the Slow Drafts and then we'll stop filling them around March 6th. We have built this beast bigger than we ever imagined and next year we'll just have to plan accordingly. Great job everyone and good luck with your teams.

We will open up signups for $150 Slow Draft #42 today and start this one shortly after it fills. These things are filling almost one per day, so be ready to draft by Tuesday or Wednesday night. Set your KDS preferences on your team page shortly after you sign up and be ready to draft because these are filling fast. Here's the details and the current signup list:

Greg, we now have 42 leagues of the $150 slow draft and some extra $375 slow drafts. point is that we have more than double towards the original estimate of the overall(not league) contest. i am curious to know what is going to be the estimate or even final numbers for the prize payouts since we have more than doubled the original plan.
also will we have not only higher payouts than originally planned but will you be paying more places such as top 10 or 25 or so instead of 5 places?
thanks, Larry Brown

Good questions. I'll create a separate thread to update everyone on the Slow Draft status and prize structure. We actually are close to tripling the number of teams we expected and thus the amount of money available in the overall prize pool could be 3x what we expected. We will definitely increase the grand prize and add many more payments overall. Again, I'll address this in a separate thread and announce our last day to start the Slow Drafts. Look for that shortly.

NOW 11 SPOTS LEFT!!

SLOW DRAFT $150 LEAGUE #42 IS NOW SOLD OUT!! Sorry for being out of touch these last few hours as I had to host our last youth basketball practice of the season. We had MANY signups after I left work and trust me when I say that League #43 will probably start on the same day as #42. I'll update that thread next. Don't be upset if you didn't get in this league.

Okay, this league will start on Wednesday at 6 p.m. EST. Set your KDS preferences by tomorrow night and we'll get this one rolling a day later. Thanks all. Here's the lineup card and the details:

Sorry Mark, this one sold out before you posted this. Do you still want a spot in #43? That should fill up just as fast. Let me know and I'll add you to that list. Thanks either way.
