Thanks to our early room block, many of our NFBC owners are staying at the host hotel, so you'll likely bump into fellow drafters at the sports book/sports bar, the Little Italy restaurant or in the casino. Last I looked we had over 100 NFBC owners staying there for more than 300 room nights, so this should be a fraternity of baseball owners staying together. Can't wait to see everyone.
And I know about the coronavirus scare, but also at this point we don't have anyone that's told me they aren't making the trip. We had one owner who was in the AL and NL Auctions who put his teams up for sale and both have been purchased by a veteran NFBC owner, so all is good there. I know a lot can change in the next week, but hopefully everyone will be able to make it to Las Vegas. Be vigilant in your travel and be smart in Las Vegas and once in our ballrooms we'll all do fist bumps instead of hand shakes and be good to go. At least I hope so.
We have the entire program finalized and rooms assigned, so let's get it out there now so everyone can plan accordingly. Safe travels all and good luck in all of your leagues:

That's about 32 live drafts and auctions in Las Vegas this year, which is a handful. But we are ready with it and we've ordered the big screens again, we've added a couple of new HD projectors and we've added iPads to keep things moving along. Brady is refreshed and ready to go and he's bringing his son to help, too. We're ready for this year's lively events. Come join us if you're not already signed up, but spots are limited.
And that's a good thing!!!
Good luck all and safe travels.
