NFBC Message Boards

Okay, we're getting to that time of year when we have to set our KDS preferences and get ready for the big drafts. The first step of winning the big money is providing us with your draft preferences and getting that game plan intact. Are you ready for the first challenge?

Over the last two years, we've moved the KDS deadline closer to the draft date and we'll do that again this year. The KDS deadline is going to be at 8 am ET 5 days before your scheduled draft and we'll announce draft spots for those leagues before noon ET that same day. This will give everyone about 5 full days to prepare for their draft spots. Sound fair?

And please take the time to set your KDS preferences. We are allowing you to tell us which area of the draft you'd prefer to select from. You don't always get your top preference, but at least you're the one dictating your draft spot if you're picked early out of the random drawing. Not everyone wants the highest pick offered, so feel free to set your preferences as you'd like. If you like to be in the middle of the draft order, you might post your preferences like this: 7,6,8,5,9,4,10,3,2,1,15,14,13,12,11. Whenever you come up in the random order the computer will give you the highest available preference on your list. Easy enough.

You can find this on the first page on the left side after you click on your team. Just click on Edit Preferences and move the hangars in the order you want from left (most preferred spot) to right (least preferred spot). Easy enough.

Okay, here's the deadlines for the Main Events:

I'll add to this list as we add more live events. For all auctions, it's five days before the auction date so plan accordingly. Same with the OC Plus leagues if we sell those out in advance. Should be fun. Thanks all and good luck.

For Saturday, March 26th: KDS Deadline is Saturday, March 21st at 8 am ET

I assume that's a typo and should read Saturday, March 26th: KDS Deadline is MONDAY, March 21st at 8 am ET?

Hi Greg,

I think this one needs an adjustment too.

Diamond Draft, Sunday, April 3rd: KDS Deadline is Friday, April 1st at 8 am ET

Thanks, the March 26th Main is corrected above.

In the Diamond we pull the draft spots after we've determined the Platinum draft spots. Some owners are in both contests and thus we pick this one closer to the start of Sunday's draft and after the Platinum. So that one is correct. Thanks.

Assume this means no KDS for Rotowire/+? If so are draft positions randomly assigned and how long before start of draft does this occur?

All OC plus leagues will be five days before the draft date if the leagues are sold out. Ones that sell out four days or closer to the draft date will be done the day after they sell out. Should a league sell out on the day of the draft the draft order will be run within the hour.

Epic fail.

Here we go everyone. Set those KDS preferences for First Weekend Mains and away we go. Thanks all and good luck.

OK the March 30th deadline was the morning at 8am....spill the draft spots already!!
