Ok...we have done one $125 DC Auction...came close to filling a 2nd and did not....and now will try to fill a couple more in the coming weeks.

I am sticking to DC for the time being because it is so early in the offseason. I assure you we will do some FAAB as we get into Feb and Mar.

andy, as of now I am available the evenings of 20th 22nd, 28th and 29th. all with a starting time between 7 and 8 pm.

I can do either night for the $250, but prefer Sunday. I prefer the DC portion to be slow but I might be in the minority here.

I'll join the $250 auction. I like the idea of doing the 27 rounds in one night, failing that, let's get Mike the Motivator in this one to give his special pep talks.

I would do the $125 DC no preferences on the dates just let me know

I am going to be bored over the holidays - i.e. after Christmas Day itself - wish we could get one in during that week if enough people are off from work. New Year's Eve is Saturday night. What about an auction draft on Friday the 30th? Or Thursday the 29th? Price points and format I am flexible on.

Let's hear from the guys who were signed up for the auction last week that was cancelled. What works for all of you? Let's get a couple lined up. Even though I sucked in the first auction it is still more fun to do them before things all settle down and price points are largely determined. The earliest DCs have been fun - like me taking Ian Desmond in the second round only to see him go in the 4th in the next draft - ha ha.

I'm in for December 30.

I could do the 30th

can you do 12/30 or 1/8?

Come on Papa's - it's not the same without you!!

almost half way there in both leagues...lets get this filled

definetly cant make the 30. 8 is a maybe, only if you need me to fill out the league.

ok lets get these auctions filled up. who wants in?

If the 12/30 is set at 7pm I can't. If there's some flexibility there then I can be in. 7:30 is a maybe and 7:45 is a definite.

In for $250 DC Auction January 8th. Also prefer slow draft to finish out the non-auction portion.

will probably push to 730 or 745 for 12/30 to accommodate Rick as we are visiting family earlier in day and I could use the extra time as well

Interested in the $125. How does this work exactly? Would we have 50 man rosters like the other DCs? Is it eligible for other prizes or are prize just contained to this league. What would be the payouts?

If there is a link with the rules and how everything works, I can read that.

you draft 23 players with $260 fake dollars on rtsports.com with 14 other owners. you then draft another 27 players via slow draft on nfbc. this is a satelite league and not part of dc overall.

payouts 1000,375,125

let me know if other questions

It does sound fun, but I am going to pass. Thanks for the quick response.

I wouldn't be willing to start any later than 7, as even then I'll be struggling to stay awake for the whole thing. But if there are more people interested in a later start, I'll just try to join a 7:00 auction later on (or even a weekend afternoon if there's interest in one of those at any point).

yeah i am struggling to get peeps at 7...but apparently losing people at 730 or 745. I myself will be pushing it to get home by 730ish.

I do plan on doing some sundays at 6.....and also some afternoon ones..we did one last year on superbowl sunday before the game as an example.

Thanks Andy! You know me, if accommodating me and staring @ 7:45 or 8:00, don't hold it up for me. But, it sounds like starting a bit later will be even better for you. So, maybe this turns into a win/win situation for more than just me??? But, again, I urge you to drop me out if starting later is a problem for the betterment of the league. Again, thanks so much for organizing these drafts!

Personally I don't care when it starts. But in these early auctions usually a couple guys have trouble getting on and we get a late start. So that would get me nervous ... pushing this even later than 7pm. Again, fine with whatever the group chooses but as close to 7pm as possible is ideal.

I will probably have everyone in the room by 730 and start as soon as possible after that.... We are spending all day with the inlaws but I thought we would be home by 7 but the wife told me I was pushing it:)
