Posted by Greg yesterday in another thread:

"Draft Champions Leagues should start in the next week or two. Look for more details shortly."
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

We're getting closer. Once I have a start date, I'll post it online and start taking signups for the first NFBC $150 Draft Champions League. I'd love to have a league or two ready to go once the site is live and start drafting the very next day. Look for an update shortly as we are making great progress with the web site.

This is one of the weirdest times of the year for me and Tom. We rarely have a day anymore when there's no drafts going on. Seriously, we normally have some Draft Champions Leagues going every single night of the week. When baseball starts in November, we have multiple drafts going every night through the first week of April and last year we started our football drafts in March, so again we had continuous football drafts through early September. And this year we started our basketball Draft Champions Leagues in early September, so there was no break there. Hoops drafts continued through Oct. 25th.

It's been a week without any drafts and Tom and I are having withdrawals!! :lol: Hopefully we can get baseball started in the next week or so, and then it's 11+ months of drafts here every day and night!! Can't beat it.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from the IT guys. Thanks for the enthusiasm all and we're almost there to drafting season.

Drafting for next year before prizes are sent out for this year is a bad look.

Agreed. Nothing will start before prizes are fully sent out. Guaranteed.
