We have had 3+ months of NFBC Draft Champions Leagues and this contest has already exceeded our goals. It's time to plan for the end of these slow drafts and move on to make sure that all of these last drafts end before the start of the season on Sunday night, March 30th.
We have decided to move up the end of these drafts by a day and will take final signups for the NFBC $150 and $400 Draft Champions Leagues on Friday, March 7th. We won't start any 8-hour drafts after Saturday, March 8th. We will offer DC Express Leagues after March 8th and maybe even 4-Hour DCs, but this is it for the final 8-hour DCs.
Thanks for all your support everyone and we'll update everything once we know what the final tally of leagues is. Again, this contest has greatly exceeded our expectations, but it was great to get the drafting season started by mid-November and going forward that will always be the goal. We've created a MONSTER in these Draft Champions Leagues and the future is very, very bright for this contest. The guaranteed grand prize in future years will definitely rise above what we started with this year at $20,000.
Thanks all and plan accordingly this week. All good things must come to an end and the DCs are nearing the end. Thanks all and good luck the rest of the way.

Re: Draft Champions 8-Hour Drafts To End March 7th
Okay, just a heads up that tomorrow is the last signup day for NFBC $150 Draft Champions Leagues. We will close out signups sometime tomorrow to make sure that all leagues start no later than Saturday, March 8th at 1 pm ET. That gives us 22 days to complete these final drafts, more than enough time to be done on time.
We just SOLD OUT our last 8-hour NFBC $400 Draft Champions Leagues. We feel that ending these a day early is the best way to go, although we would consider a $400 DC with a 4-hour time limit. We filled one of those leagues last year and I've had requests to start one of those up again. If there is demand, we can do it. Otherwise, there is one NFBC $400 DC available and that's the DC Express League on Sunday, March 16th. Here's that signup list:
NFBC $400 Draft Champions Express League
15 Teams, 50 Rounds, 1 Minute Per Pick
Sunday, March 16th, 8 pm ET
1. Shawn Harvey, Oakville, Ontario
2. Leonard Ringle, New York City
3. Lowell Kaplan, Brooklyn, New York
4. Herb Eroh, Riverdale, New Jersey
5. Patrick Gallagher, Boston, Massachusetts
6. James Capodanno, Hypoluxo, Florida
7. Douglas Kuberski, Monroeville, Pennsylvania
8. Mike O'Connor, Burnsville, Minnesota
9. Jim Jeckewicz, Greeley, Colorado
10. kc cha, Los Angeles, California
Okay, good luck all. It's been a FANTASTIC Draft Champions season and this contest has exceeded expectations. Let's see how many leagues we finish with before finalizing payouts. Thanks all and good luck.

Is the final DC Express going to be Mar 21 as listed or would demand possibly mean one or more between Mar 22-28?

Re: Draft Champions 8-Hour Drafts To End March 7th
Okay, we just sold out another NFBC $150 Draft Champions League. Today is the last day to fill these and get them started 22 days before Opening Day. We'll give it time for one more $150 Draft Champions League at 8 hours per pick and then we'll likely shut these down for the season. We will still have NFBC $150 Draft Champions Express Leagues and possibly some 4-Hour DCs, but this is it for the 8-hour slow drafts. Jump in now if you still want to compete.
Thanks all and good luck.
