NFBC Message Boards

We are updating each of the city listings now for the web site and I thought it would be good to share them with you here. Some folks have asked about this because they are looking at flights and hotels now. This is all tentative, but for now this is how things are shaping up:

Online
All Main Events and NFBC XIIs are available at the same times Online. Super and Ultimate Drafts are also available at the same times Online.

Again, this is all tentative and we still have to finalize the Diamond, Ultimate Auction, Ultimate Draft and even the Supers. Chicago is still also tentative, although I look forward to some feedback there on dates and times. We're working through all of this, but we wanted to show you where we're at right now so that we can get some feedback, get you thinking about our plans, and get you finding flights if needed. Let's do it.

Thanks and feel free to post your comments here or to me at [email protected].

All of this is still tentative, but we have to get a Schedule of Events set for the web site and we can tweak it as we go. I have listed two different Diamond and Ultimate Draft dates for now, but all of that is flexible. I am scheduling the second Diamond League and the 5th Super League for Monday, April 1st, after some games have been played. These are private leagues and all owners will be in the same boat in these leagues. We can make stats retroactive when lineups are set on Tuesday, April 2nd if these leagues go off. Something different, but with Easter on Sunday night we have to get creative.

Here's the latest schedule of events for the private high-dollar NFBC leagues:

Ultimate Auction
Sunday, March 24, 4 pm PT (Las Vegas only)

Diamond
Sunday, March 24, 10 am PT (Las Vegas only)
Monday, April 1, 8 pm ET (Online Only)

Ultimate Draft
Monday, March 25, 7 pm ET (Las Vegas and Online)
Wednesday, March 27, 7 pm ET (Las Vegas and Online)

Super
Saturday, March 23, 7 pm ET (Las Vegas and Online)
Sunday, March 24, 1 pm ET (Las Vegas and Online)
Friday, March 29, 6 pm ET (New York City only)
Monday, April 1, 7 pm ET (Online only)
Tuesday, March 26, 8 pm ET (Online only)

This also gives us a chance to host live drafts in Las Vegas every night after the First Weekend. Obviously these would be in conjunction with online participants, but it still could be a lot of fun. Let me know what you think of this schedule and we'll plan accordingly. Thanks all.
