First Weekend NFBC Events are ALL SOLD OUT!!! That means it's time to move onto the Second Weekend and get those leagues formed and draft spots announced. Here we go with the plans:

In all of our leagues we allow you to tell us where you'd like to draft from and thus we allow you to set your preferences in a format we call KDS (short for Kentucky Derby System). To do that you have to:

** Click on your team link

** On the first page you'll see rankings from 1-12 or 1-15 and then click on Edit Preferences

** Now move the hangars around in the order that you would prefer to draft. If you want 1,2,3,4 in that order, leave those four hangars lined up that way. Then if you want 8 next, put 8 where 5 was. Keep moving them around to the way you like them and with any luck you'll get one of your top preferences. We randomly let the computer pick the selection order of each league and then our computer slots you according to your highest preference at the time your selection is up.

** We will announce all draft picks prior to the draft via email, but also on your team page. In fact, it will appear on your team page as soon as the computer processes KDS for each individual league.

In the past, we tried to get draft picks to everyone as soon as possible and we set KDS deadlines several days before we ran KDS. In recent years, however, we've sold out many online leagues days or even hours before the drafts started and everyone has adjusted accordingly. Now folks are asking for even less time between the KDS deadline and Draft Day for our live events so that they can process as much spring training information as possible and we agree. We are going to give everyone a few more days this year to set their KDS preferences and shorten the window between when you get draft spots and Draft Day. I know some folks want more time to prepare, but we think that allowing you more time to process what is going on in spring training is just as critical.

So here's our Second Weekend KDS deadlines and we'll post this on your Team Pages as well:

Are we going to get our draft slots tonight as stated in the KDS 2nd weekend deadline post? Looking for Primetime slots. Thanks

Tom got stuck on the way back from New York to Las Vegas. I think his plane had mechanical issues in Milwaukee. He's arriving here soon and if he can't get to these tonight he will in the morning. Sorry, but we didn't see the delay coming here. Tomorrow is a likely possibility now. Sorry, but hopefully you can understand what happened here.
