so do you plan on doing both a regular auction at 5 with 1000 buy in and 1300 buy in at same time? or is the 1300 replacing the 1000 at 5 pm. I am already signed up for the 1000.....so you can move me over if the 1300 is the only one happening at 5 pm

We'll do one of each if there's interest. I'll move you to the $1,300 one. Thanks Andy.

Tom:
Kenny and I would like a spot for the $1300 Auction in NYC as well. Wouldn't be an official
Draft season without some time spent with you in NYC. Plus, we won't have to carry Christie in this
Auction as his wife won't let him leave Vegas.

Andy,
You are riding Dobies coattails the same way Christie hooks his wagon to Team Sack. ( Although the Governor
Did polish us off in an OL last night ) Chip whispered in my ear that with you in this league he expected you to go with
The TWO Catcher early strategy, similar to what you pulled off in the NFFC Super. Like Massotto is dead weight in the Diamond, Chip felt you being in this Auction made this an easy choice. After this Auction, we figure you will go back to
The facilitator route or maybe hanging stickers. This will let you save up a few bucks for NFFC 2013.
All kidding aside, Chip and I want to beat the best. This field is loaded with some great players and we are
Well aware that you and Jeff are on the top of the list my friend. Look forward to catching up down the road Andy.
Good luck in the NFFC leagues over the remaining four weeks.

Registration page won't allow you to register with the pay by check option Tom. I realize that is both preferred by the NFBC and no credit card statement will always be my choice. Thanks.

Try logging out and logging back in Ken. It's working on my end.

Tom,
Looks as though there is going to be a conflict Friday night with the MTM Super if some of the returning owners want to do both this event and mine. Hopefully we can work this out so that we can get as many people back from last year including Lins (we need his donation

). Thoughts?

Hey Mike, I'm not sure what our options are here. Unfortunately we're up against it a bit in New York due to the Easter holiday. The only options I can think of presently are moving the Super either earlier in the day (such as 1 pm ET) or perhaps moving it to Thursday. The problem there is we need to make sure we can secure room space that day since we're only currently projecting events on Friday and Saturday. I'm certainly open to suggestions from everyone here so let me know. The good news is we have plenty of time to figure this out.

what if you started the first auction at say 9 am, the $1300 one at say 3 or 330 and the super at 8 or 830? not sure how long you have the room....but maybe you can stagger them in a way that someone can do all three if they wanted too.
or....i know its not a traditional thing to do...but do a saturday morning draft before the main events for the super.....
other than thursday..those are the only two things i can think of

I don't think Saturday morning is an option. If we have people playing in the auction, Main and NFBC XII that would be an extremely long day. Plus we'd have to start way too early in the morning to make that work. I'd prefer not to adjust the start times of Friday's auctions too significantly if possible. I haven't compared the lists but are there people playing in both the Super and the 10 am auction? If not, then moving the Super to 1 pm strikes me as the best option if possible in order to keep everything on Friday.

Michael Lins is definitely one with a conflict. Last year I think Dan Mitlof was in both.........but as far as who is signed up for both already..Lins is one of those impacted.

I think I'll stay. MTM putting me into his Super without me telling him I wanted in
has sealed the Saxton $1300 fate. Me wants Andy!
