NFBC Message Boards

Everyone here at STATS and the NFBC is honored to have received the FSTA's Best Fantasy Live Events Award last night at the industry's Trade Conference in Las Vegas. This marks the second straight year that the NFBC has won this award, which was presented at the FSTA's Awards Banquet at the Mirage Las Vegas.

Tom and I were present to receive the award and to have some celebratory drinks afterwards!! It was a great night following our debut SiriusXM show that afternoon.

The NFBC continues to be the only live events contest in the industry with regional drafts. In 2012, the NFBC held live drafts in six cities over two weekends, along with hundreds of online drafts. The NFBC finished with 270+ different leagues between its 12-team and 15-team formats. Almost $2 million was awarded last year as the NFBC completed its 9th season. Since 2004, the NFBC, NFFC and NFBKC has awarded more than $15 million in prizes. This upcoming season will be the NFBC's 10th anniversary season.

Thanks to all of our great customers for making the NFBC the best Live Events Contest in the industry. We couldn't win this award without all of you folks!! Thanks all.

Congratulations to you and Tom. Well deserved.

As I mentioned in the football room, you have a stranglehold on best live draft experience. Speaks more for football where there is major competition. They don't come close in my opinion.

Thanks Chad. That means a lot coming from you. Going forward, we're going to do an even better job of creating an EVENT before our live events in Las Vegas for those who can join us. In baseball that will mean an NCAA Viewing Party before the big weekend of events in Las Vegas and in football it will be the NFL Viewing Party before the Second Weekend of events. I think we feel comfortable saying that going forward Las Vegas will be the only live events venue during one of the two draft weekends for both sports and then we'll do regional drafts on the other weekend as long as demand warrants it. This way we can get as many of our participants live in one spot as possible and really create that EVENT feeling.

This award is as much attributable to our great customers as it is to everyone at STATS. Thanks for helping us make it through the first 9 years and we look forward to many more years together.
