NFBC Message Boards

Okay, we have interest from several owners in the Saturday, March 22nd Main Event Online, but we're still 7 signups short of one more full league. We have through Sunday to finalize this First Weekend Main Event, so if you still want a spot here let us know. We're getting plenty of interest in the Wednesday, March 26th Main Event, but we think we still have time to fill up one more Main Event League on Saturday, March 22nd as well.

Again, if you have interest in this First Weekend Main Event please sign up soon or contact me or Tom soon. Thanks all.

We got another Main Event Online signup last night for the March 22nd date, so now we're even closer to filling up one more league. If you have interest in this first Main Event, please sign up online or contact me this weekend at [email protected]. We have several folks on the Wednesday signup list to make sure they secure a spot, but they are ready to jump into Saturday afternoon if we can fill this last league. We are getting closer, for sure. Thanks all.

Okay, there's no turning back now. ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT in the March 22nd Main Event Online/Las Vegas. We have room for you in either way. C'mon, I know we can do this!!! Thanks all and good luck. We have through tomorrow to fill this one up and then we'll finalize the March 26th Main Online. 400 teams here we come again!!!!

NOW ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT in the March 22nd Main Event Online. Let's fill this one up and get draft spots selected and leagues formed. Thanks all.

Shawn Coots just jumped into the NFBC Main Event Online on Saturday, March 22nd, bringing us one step closer to a full league. Shawn is in both ends of the Main Event doubleheader as he has a shot at the $225,000 in grand prizes and the $75,000 cash bonus. Nice. Thanks Shawn and a baseball title or two would go well with that football title!!

Kris Carroll just jumped into the Main Event Online, so we are down to ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT for Saturday, March 22nd. There's a chance for a second opening as I need to contact everyone on the Wednesday list, but no more than 2 spots left for sure. Thanks all and we are off to a great, great start. Let's do it. Thanks.

Okay, NFBC veteran Daniel DaSilva just jumped into the Main Event Online on March 22nd to bring us even closer to all full leagues. However, it looks like we still have 1 SPOT LEFT as one owner can't change now from March 26th. So 1 SPOT LEFT!! We will close off March 22nd once we fill this last spot and then we'll run KDS preferences on Sunday night and announce leagues and draft spots Monday.

Unfortunately, we have 6-7 owners in Las Vegas for LV3 and we will need some volunteers to join us via teleconference. I know the rules state that the final signups are linked with them, but we've had so many signups in the last three days that I'm going to send out an email to those last Online owners to see if anyone would volunteer to help with this setup. It would be a phone hookup and you'd just announce your picks to us in Las Vegas. You'd still see the online draft board and have your own Cheat Sheets, but we need at least 8 owners for that. Look for that email soon and if anyone can help that would be great. It's not a bad setup, but unfortunately we just didn't get enough live drafters during March Madness in Las Vegas to fill that 3rd league on its own. But we can still make this work out well. Thanks all.

LAST DAY to sign up for the March 22nd Main Event Online. We have 2 SPOTS LEFT!!!

We had two guys who couldn't switch from Wednesday, March 26th Main to the March 22nd Main Online, so we're back to having 2 SPOTS LEFT!!! We need 2 new signups today, or if anyone from the 26th Main Event Online wants to draft on Saturday, March 22nd instead just email me at [email protected] and we'll get it done. We also have 6 volunteers who will draft on teleconference with us in Las Vegas, so that has helped. We have 12 now for LV3 and just need a couple of more volunteers. We're getting closer there.

Okay, today is a big day to close things out. Let me know if your schedule is flexible and hopefully we close out this last 22nd Main Event League today. Having 10 leagues -- 150 owners -- in the First Weekend Main is fantastic. Thanks all and good luck.

Defending NFBC Draft Champions champion Richard Van Fleet has nabbed one of the last spots in the March 22nd NFBC Main Event and he even volunteered to be on the teleconference with us in Las Vegas. Now that's stepping up to the plate folks!!! Awesome job Richard.

We actually had 8 owners volunteer to do the teleconference with us in Las Vegas League 3, so we have 14 owners for that one. We need one more signup for March 22nd Main and one more volunteer for LV3. If you are the same person then you get unlimited Corona's over the weekend!!! What a great weekend of signups all and we'll be forming Main Event leagues today and announcing draft picks tomorrow. Thanks all.

1 SPOT LEFT for March 22nd Main Event.

Here's the LV3 listing as of today:

31. Paul England, Lee Summit, Missouri
32. Jeff Posin, Henderson, Nevada
33. Jeff Devoto, Redwood City, California
34. Andy Robinson
35. Kevin Schiller, Sierra Madre, California
36. Scott Keikoan

42. Daniel DaSilva, Long Beach, California (O)
43. Richard Van Fleet, La Jolla, California (O)
44. Paul Weber, Richmond Heights, Missouri (O)

Okay, we got another volunteer for Las Vegas League 3, so I think we're good there.

We have one other NFBC veteran who will take the last spot Online. We're working on final details now, but all looks good. I think we're good to go for the NFBC Main Event on Saturday, March 22nd. Look for leagues and draft spots tomorrow. Thanks all.

The March 22nd Main Event Online IS NOW SOLD OUT!!!

We have 10 leagues and we'll announce league assignments and draft spots tomorrow. Here's a look at the 150 teams drafting on the First Weekend. Thanks all and good luck:
