NFBC Message Boards

We are filling up Auction Champonship Leagues across the country, with New York leading the way with 4 full Auction Championship Leagues and Chicago also filling up 1 league already. In Las Vegas, we have 2 full Auction Championship Leagues and the potential for four more. I'm going to create this thread now to keep a spotlight on those final openings.

Here we go.

On the First Weekend, which is Easter weekend but also Sweet Sixteen during March Madness, we have two offerings on Friday, March 25th. We sure would love to fill both of them and I think we can. We also have a $750 Online Championship Plus on Friday afternoon that could fill, so this could be a great kickoff to the weekend. Check out the available auction leagues here:

You emphasized TOOLS!! But I agree with you. He's going to fill up this auction for sure. Thanks all. What a pleasant surprise to see this 3-pack come in today. Glad to have everyone in Sin City for the Second Weekend. It's going to be special.

And as I said, I'll make Brady do this one on Thursday night. He will be in town on Wednesday and well rested for a 15-team auction!! I'll take over when the reserve rounds happen so that he can rest his back for the doubleheader on Friday. Thanks again all.

Greg,

I'm working and Andy & Bosch have been at me all afternoon. The penthouse has always been a treat for these drafts and a fun way to kickoff Week 2. Brady Tinker as our auctioneer will be a great way to top this event off for sure. Let me see if I can get on the phone to Greencreek. I may need some sage advice from a wily young Pig Farmer for this group!

Sack wins the award of doing an auction of all three cities!

SOLD OUT: Wow, this one really went fast. Lord Zola grabbed the last spot in the Thursday, March 31st NFBC $1300 Auction Championship League. This is an all-star cast of veterans, so naturally you get the best auctioneer in the business in Brady Tinker. This one is going to be a lot of fun, so be ready everyone. Again, let's start upstairs in the Executive Penthouse Suite for a few drinks and some smack talk before heading downstairs to the Executive Boardroom. This is the only room available to us on Thursday and it's the room with a 30+ foot board table. We'll make it work.

Okay, here's the final lineup card for this one. Enjoy all:
