NFBC Message Boards

This is from the Online Champ rules, I assumed this means Sunday, March 31st and the date is just wrong? Just confirming the first FA period will be the Sunday before Opening Day. Thanks!

Bidding Time Frame: The NFBC bidding process will start the week before Opening Day and run for the first time on Sunday, April 1st. FAAB will run every week from Week 1 through Week 26 (there is no new FAAB period if there are one or more regular-season MLB tie-breaker games). Bids will be accepted on the league website from Monday at 3 PM ET until Sunday at 8 PM ET in each of these weeks. Rosters will be updated shortly after 8 PM ET on Sunday with the results of all successful bids. Starting lineups for the upcoming week must be submitted by 6:55 PM ET on Monday. Players who are on teams participating in games with a scheduled start time prior to the Monday deadline at 6:55 PM ET, will be locked 5 minutes before the scheduled start time for their game.

First and Last Free Agent Bidding Deadlines: The first free agent bidding deadline is Sunday, April 1, at 8 PM ET. The last free agent bidding deadline is Sunday, September 22, at 8 PM ET.

Correct. We'll change to Sunday, March 31st. That is the first FAAB date.

Thanks Greg, much appreciated!

Greg, is March 31 the first FAAB for all NFBC leagues, including those which drafted as late as March 30?

Some serious FAAB could be spent in that league!

Yes, we'll enter rosters on the spot and FAAB should be open shortly after that. We obviously have to double check rosters and make sure we didn't make a mistake on any rosters. If we do and people bid on a player who shouldn't be in FAAB, we'll have to correct quickly. But March 31st is for all leagues.
