Not sure that I've seen any dates yet. Would be nice to know for planning purposes. Thanks.

As soon as I know for sure, I'll make a post. Everyone will get an email update on KDS deadline and the start date of the draft as soon as the draft room opens. This year we'll start Draft Champions Leagues at 1 pm ET and draft spots will be emailed to all owners earlier that morning. Look for more details soon as we're getting closer to finally drafting.

Is it still possible to begin tomorrow or is that out

Unless we get a KDS deadline established soon, we won't be on course to meet Greg's schedule tomorrow -- draft picks set by morning, 1pm start time. I guess the best we can hope for is to start on Thursday.

Let's draft!!!

I wouldn't get your hopes up that we'll draft before next week. If they were really close we'd have heard from them by now.

Nice

It certainly is a little disappointing that we were told drafts would start on Wednesday, and we haven't gotten any updates at all today with what is going on. If it's going to take longer, fine, but at least keep us informed.

A post like this, which is completely accurate and 100% true, if posted by me, would be taken as being disrespectful and a complainer. First rule of marketing and customer service: "Don't over promise and under deliver." No excuses. These drafts should be starting tomorrow...I have no further comment and look forward to them all...eventually.

DICK. Call me sometime so that I can recruit you back for the MTM. You can only dodge me for so long, Lowy.

Funniest post I have read in a long time.

Hilarious. Thanks for a great laugh to start the morning.

My morning then got better as I got the desired e-mail from Tom. For League No. 1 (and, I'm assuming, the other closed DC leagues), the KDS deadline is tomorrow at 4:59 a.m., with drafting to start tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Let's roll!

Mike

Sorry guys, but I didn't have an update from IT to give to you yesterday. It looks like they finalized the draft room last night and rather than run KDS with a short warning we created leagues this morning and set the KDS deadlines for tonight. The first three full NFBC $150 Draft Champions Leagues will get draft spots tomorrow morning and will start drafting tomorrow at 1 pm ET. All DC's this year will start at 1 pm ET.

Good luck all and enjoy. Sorry for being one day late on this, but it was either surprise you with a 4-hour KDS window or wait one day and we chose to be safe on these first DC's. Look for the draft rooms to open at midnight ET.

I wasn't ignoring your question Mark, I just didn't have an answer. It looks like final testing of the draft room was completed last night and leagues were set up this morning. We're finally ready to roll!!

I didn't try to put your question on hold, although back in those early years I should have tried that with you!!

Being a slow draft, anyone who needs more than a 4-hour headsup for the first round could take advantage of their clock.

Maybe I'm in the minority on that opinion. Not advocating using any more clock than necessary.
Better safe than sorry, right?


Thanks Greg

It's all good Greg. Just keeping the natives entertained with some pics

Aren't we supposed to have our draft orders for the start of tomorrow's DC's by now? Just curious as to what's up.

Mike - the email I got said KDS deadline is 4:59 am EST tomorrow morning. Set your order tonight and get a surprise when you wake up.

Already done. I read that as yesterday 11/20 since we were given the heads up on the 19th. Thanks Mike.

Nice job on the first day of the DCs everyone. Two of these DCs are through 4 rounds in less than a day. It looks like a few owners are using 1 Round Auto as well. Very good job.
