Newbies and fence sitters - 5 spots left for a chance at $100,000! Where else you gonna make that kind of money playing fantasy baseball? If you are gonna pump in HUNDREDS of hours into your fantasy baseball season, do it in a league where you can actually make some good coin.

That picture is worth a thousand words. Why play with these guys when you can play with the best?

WE'RE AT 300 FOR THE MAIN EVENT!!! TWENTY FULL LEAGUES!!!



We're running four satellite leagues right now and have recruited a pair to Las Vegas. We're starting the 21st league right now, which is good news. Let's keep it going everyone and somehow get full leagues in each city.

Vegas needs ...7.

New York needs ...7.

Chicago needs ...5.

Tampa needs ...11.



Greg spend an extra couple bucks of the advertising budget on the sunshine state.

Time will tell but it does appear that Tampa won't make even three leagues. I am curious how many Vegas drafters had Tampa as their second choice but could not stay away from the glitz and glitter. Chicago has had a steady three leagues and New York gets its seven.



The best part of the live draft is to see your opponents. Hopefully Greg can avoid leagues where only a few people draft over the phone. Last year I was sure it would happen but it did not. This year Greg & Tom will need to find another rabbit to pull out of their hat.



But I must admit that 300 teams by March is impressive.

CHICAGO ONLY HAS THREE OPENINGS FOR THE MAIN EVENT!!! GET IN NOW...BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Only room for 22 more owners in the main event!!! Better get in the game quick, or else you are gonna miss out on the opportunity of a LIFETIME. thanks.

Only 5 more spots to fill before we have our 21st league.

18 SPOTS LEFT FOR MAIN EVENT. FENCESITTERS - IT'S NOW OR NEVER!!! BRING IT IF YOU GOT IT!

JUST OUT...ONLY 17 SPOTS LEFT. COULD BE GONE THIS WEEKEND!!! HURRY!!!

16 Spots remain for main event!! Chicago is SOLD OUT! Be advised the window of opportunity to enter the main event is closing fast.

By my calculations, we need 4 in Vegas, 3 in New York, and 9 in Tampa to fill out the leagues evenly.

Let's get some more people in sunny Florida!

only room for 15 more owners!!! fill one league and we get draft slots gentlemen.





let's make it happen this weekend.

Here's a few tidbits to know about the KDS process:



If you haven't' done so already, go to MY TEAMS, then click on MY SETTINGS (way to the right) and pull down to the third listing called DRAFT PREFERENCES. You'll see that the draft spots are listed on the left (1 through 15 in order) and your preferences are listed on the right. Here's the drill: Whatever draft spot you'd prefer first, put a 1 next to that draft spot (let's say 1 stays with 1). Then find your second preference (maybe it's draft slot 2 or 4) and put a two there. Keep doing that for all 15 preferences and we'll take that list later.



If you don't do anything, your preferences will be in order, 1 through 15. No problem there. If you list multiple preferences that are the same, we'll just go in order and if there aren't any more available numbers (let's say 10 and 11 are missing) we'll slot you in the next available slot.



If you have ANY questions about how to set your Draft Preferences, don't hesitate to call Tom at 715-445-4612, ext. 653 or contact him at tom.kessenich@fwpubs.com or us at nfbc@krause.com. We'll help you out.

Hey everyone, just a heads up that at this point our plan is to set a deadline of midnight March 8th to have everyone finalize their KDS settings for the Main Event. We anticipate being sold out at that point and if that occurs Greg and I will begin picking and announcing leagues on Thursday March 9th.



That's the plan right now. So get your KDS preferences set because it's getting closer to the big day.

Great job everyone. It looks like we're at 315 as of today. Keep the signups coming for each city as you never know when a spot will open.

Now 14!!! Chalk up another one for Las Vegas

Signing up for Las Vegas today after work...hope I get in on time.....
