Will entry packages be available as usual? I’m ready to buy some teams but only the Second Chance Memorial Day packages are available right now.

Also, when will our credits from last year hit our accounts to use?

Thanks for getting this up and running, guys!

[Tom Kessenich]

Yes, discount packages should be on registration

I'm not seeing anything other than the 2nd chance leagues. If we sign up now without the discount can it be applied retroactively?

$3,000 sorry. It's fixed.

Thanks again everyone for being patient for the extra day that it took us to launch the NFBC site. We're so glad to have the NFBC site live and drafts rolling by Nov. 6th. Let's make this an annual launch date!!

In the first 18 hours, we've already filled four Draft Champions leagues and have over 250 teams purchased. You folks DEFINITELY are ready for some baseball.

It's interesting that we rarely have a day when there aren't drafts ongoing on our platform. The only time we don't have drafts is the week between the end of our NFBKC drafts and NFFC drafts (which included Guillotine drafts into Week 8) and right now. So without disturbing any drafts, we took the short time to update our cloud service to make the site more efficient. We had to do that after the Monday Night Football Game so as to not disrupt all of our football leagues and then we had to do more testing on Tuesday before launching baseball. It was a tight time frame to get all of this done, but the IT guys did a great job yesterday to get everything ready for launch by the afternoon.

Enjoy the drafts and everything that was done was behind the scenes that you won't even see. But we feel confident that the moves will make the site more responsive, quicker, and easier for us to manage. And I'm hearing it's also more cost effective. As you all know, technology changes so quickly that we have to continue to make these changes without disrupting all of the leagues and drafts that are continuously running on all of our company's platforms and it looks like we did it this time. Good luck all and enjoy.

FUN FACT: We took in more revenue in signups during our first 24 hours of 2020 than we did during our entire FIRST YEAR of the NFBC.

That's the truth. It's fun to see how far the NFBC has grown in 17 years. Thanks all and let's keep it going.

It's truly amazing when you think of it in those terms. Try to imagine marketing all these different contests in 2004!
