Greg - is there a bandaid with Eddie's name on it stuck to your finger?

Without revealing any personal information, it's interesting to note that the KDS preferences were ALL OVER the board for this draft. Interestingly, FIVE different owners got their first preference as Eddie Gillis was picked fourth randomly, but moved up to the No. 1 pick when three others opted to go down in the draft order. One other owner got their second preference and two other owners got their third preference, so 8 out of 15 owners (53%) got one of their top three preferences. Only three owners had a preference lower than 6th as the Average Draft Preference was 4.87. Pretty amazing.



KDS preferences that were received in no particular order were:

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 12, 13, 14.



Here are the draft preferences that were submitted to us:



9, 8, 10, 11, 5, 1, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2, 12, 13, 14, 15

4, 5, 6, 7, 3, 2, 8, 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 1, 5, 4, 3, 2

8, 9, 10, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 5, 15, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6

8, 9, 10, 7, 11, 12, 13, 6, 5, 1, 4, 14, 3, 15, 2

1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 6, 4, 5, 11, 12, 15, 14, 10, 13, 9

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 14, 13, 10, 9, 6, 5, 4

8, 7, 6, 5, 9, 10, 4, 11, 3, 12, 2, 1, 13, 14, 15

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

See above for the explanation. Pretty interesting, I must say.

Were those last ones defaults or did that many people really go 1,2,3,4,5 and so on? Also are we going 250 everybody? if so what are the payoffs? Count me in for 250 or whatever you guys decide.

Serenity Now is in for $250. Greg, should we send this to you? What are the prizes for throwing in an additional $250?

Thank god we don't have to hear Chest whine about ending up 15th.

I am sure you will be watching my draft closely you always are...

Can anyone watch this draft? and How? With money on the line, this could prove to be much more enlightening than the current Mock. Good Luck to all involved!!

Yo Chest...is it Vegas in 2007 (NFBC) yet?



GG?

~Lance Lance, cocktail hour starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 17th for the NFBC draft if that helps you consider us in 2007! I'm buying!! Meat Loaf is on tour for Bat out of Hell III in March, so we're looking for a new celebrity drafter and you qualify! Come and join us.



Perry Van Hook, Scott Stauffer and several other ol' WCOFF buddies will be in Vegas. Plus there's this thing called opening round of March Madness going on to keep you entertained. Oh, and spring break for the West Coast colleges. How can you beat it? We'd love to have ya back.

Unfortunately there isn't any way for non-participants to watch the draft, but we'll post some of the early round results on the boards here for all to see. We'll have some fun with the data and with money on the line, the results should be good.



By the way, Eddie Gillis is in for $250 as well. He's got the No. 1 pick and is ready to rumble.

Were in for 250 let me know who to pay and when. How will free agents be handled? When can we start picking them up? Were already looking to drop guys before the draft Cant wait to get it going

Stevieland is in for $250. Is that everybody, or are there some dissenters in this group of champs?

I'm in for $250, Greg, you can match the names to the teams, is that everyone?

Can we go 30 rounds?

Im in for 250.



How will the payment be handled? Just let me know if you need my CC info.

I am in for $250.



Does the top 3 win prize money? What is the breakdown etc...

Steve

We are in for the additional $250 for the top three to get a free entry for the 2008 NFBC season just like last years champion draft.





Thanks

Greg,



As I was pre-ranking players for tonights mock draft on mockdraftcentral, I noticed that it had some players eligible at positions that they are not going to be eligible at in 2007. For example, Chone Figgins had listed next to his name 2b,3b,ss,of when he only qualifies at 3b & of. Not a big deal for tonight's mock that means nothing, but for next Wednesday's Champions Draft is it on the owner to be aware of eligibility, b/c regardless of what the site says NFBC rules apply, correct? I just want to clear this up before Wednesday.

In the draft software for the NFBC drafts, Figgins will have 3B and OF eligibility only.

I just want to clear this up before Wednesday. Yes, it's definitely on each owner to know the player eligibility. You can ask me here or via e-mail if you need to know that. But just like our NFBC Satellite Leagues that use MDC, it's up to the owner to know which positions each player qualifies at as MDC does not necessarily reflect our eligibility rules.

I am in for the $250, where is the link for the rules for this draft, since there is money involved I want to make sure everything is covered
