any word on draft spots yet . would like them drawn soon as drafts start monday . have a great holliday .

Everyone,

We didn't get everything done before Thanksgiving that we needed to get done for drafts to start on Monday. We still need to finish a few items in the draft software. We still plan on starting drafts in the coming week, but it likely will be more mid-to-late week than on Monday. We'll update early this week once we finish these final items, which include player eligibility and minor-league Player IDs.

Everyone who is in full leagues will get an email stating the KDS deadline once we're ready. We'll give you a few hours to finalize that (do it now just to be safe), then we'll set the starting date and time and get things rolling the next day. We're almost there, so just be patient with us a bit more and then we'll have everything ready for a full season of drafting. Thanks all.

Okay, all testing is complete and we're going to automate the leagues shortly and get email updates out soon enough. The $375 Draft Champions league which is full is set to start on Monday, Dec. 3rd at 6 pm ET just like we promised. The four full $150 Draft Champions Leagues will start in the next day or two once we set KDS deadlines. I'll post that shortly.

But we've tested the software many times today and all is good and ready to go. Everyone should set their KDS preferences now because we might have a quick turnaround for these leagues. These have been full for a week or longer, so hopefully everyone is ready to DRAFT!! The NFBC season is officially ready to go!!

BANG!!! Nice work Greg an Co. Any chance for a Friday start!!!! PLEASE!!!! I joined 2 leagues in case one has a Marcel type in it.

Any chance we can get into the draft room and rank players over the weekend?

Thursday starts!!!

You guys rule!!

Any update on start dates/times?

bump ....

Sorry for the delayed response. We hope to have all 6 full leagues (we just filled another $150 Draft Champions League) set up and ready to go this afternoon and start drafting tomorrow. The $375 Draft Champions League will still start on Monday night. I know it doesn't give you a whole lot of time to adjust your Draft Prep default lists, but hopefully you'll find that our current default list isn't too bad. We spent a lot of time getting that set up.

I'll know more shortly, but look for an email update with KDS deadline and start times soon.

Greg,
I think the first 4 slow drafts have been filled for a while. No need for a KDS deadline, as everyone has had them set for a week! Let's get some draft slots so we can start planing our picks!!

Thanks, Greg. Starting tomorrow sounds great. Can't wait.

Tom is setting these leagues up now and our goal is to have KDS run by noon ET tomorrow and drafts starting shortly after that. Look for email updates tonight. We're ALMOST there!!!

I do see that emails aren't going out to owners after each pick for this league. I've alerted IT and we'll get that fixed ASAP. It's critical to have these emails go out to keep everyone up to speed. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Okay, emails should be going out now after every pick and the draft boards should be viewable. Please let me know if you see any issues in the draft room at [email protected]. Thanks and good luck all. We're off and rolling.

I'm not getting emails after the picks.

In our draft...............some are getting e-mails, some are not.

All emails are going out. Have them contact me at [email protected] or to have them check their Spam folder. But all are going out after every pick. We're here to help for anyone having problems.
