New York Live Event Plan March 19-20
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:30 pm
Everyone, I spoke with my contact today at the Stewart Hotel and went over the logistics for our event there next month. I wanted to share the details with everyone.
First off, due to Covid and the ongoing need for social distancing we will be limited to two tables in the main ballroom all three days. That will not impact anything on Friday and Sunday but for Saturday this means we will have two Main Event leagues. We do have extra space in the ballroom down the hall if needed but as of now our plan likely will be to push for two Main Event leagues on March 20 and that's it. That would mean the first 30 to sign up get into a live league in NY.
If demand exceeds 30 we can work with the additional space. But for now our plan will be to get 30 signups for the Main Event on March 20 and shut things off. So if you're planning on attending I'd recommend signing up soon to get your spot reserved so you don't miss out.
So for Friday we'll have the 9 am ET auction, the 2:30 pm ET $2,500 auction and the 8 pm ET Ultimate in the main ballroom. The 4 pm ET auction will be held in our extra space. Please note this is a different room than we used in 2019 since that room would not work with social distancing. On Saturday and Sunday all events would be in the main ballroom.
NOTE: Masks must be worn at all times in the hotel.
We're discussing with Sirius their plans to broadcast the Ultimate. They will not be attending live but are planning to broadcast the draft. I'm talking to Matt Deutsch next week to hash out more of the particulars so hopefully I have more info to share then.
That's the plan as of today. I say "as of today" because we all know things really are a day-to-day proposition right now. But I continue to hope that we'll be trending positively and by the time the NY events arrive we'll be there and having a great time.
Any questions or if you need help signing up for an event in NY please email me at [email protected]
