Folks, I never sleep well on the night before Opening Day. I've also never worked on Opening Day.
My employers were mostly kind about it. When they weren't, I called in with a 'Magrane' headache. Not a migraine. A Magrane headache.
Thanks, Joe.

Anyway, since I won't be sleeping most of that night, I thought maybe there is others like me. Or even others who just want to eke in one more draft.
My thought is to have an early morning draft. With enough time left over to finalize our lineups for teams.
As I told Greg, we have 'Breakfast at Wimbledon'. Why not 'Opening Eyes on Opening Day'.
I'll take signups for three drafts to try and help out with more folks being involved with our contests.
A Draft Champions.
An Online Champions.
A Main Event.
All express.
What a day!
Draft.
Tweek lineups.
Watch baseball.

I am on the fence between a Main or DC, so for now, my name will go under DC.
This has Greg's ok and we'll get everyone signed up once the leagues are filled.
Let me know if having interest and I'll sign you up here.

Thanks Everybody!

Draft Champions, 7 AM, EST.

Main Event, 8 AM, EST

I support this message!!

We already had 9 am ET Rotowire Online Championship and Cutline Best Ball Championship drafts on Registration for Thursday, April 1st and have some signups. Two years ago, we filled two Cutline leagues that morning and one Online Championship league.

I know we had those three drafts because I drew the short straw to watch those drafts after Tom, Darik, Mike and myself closed down Wabo Cabo on Wednesday night after all drafts were finished!!

But yes, we can do a DC Express at 7 am ET if needed and even a Main Event Online that morning. Why not? Games start at noon ET, so plenty of time to get this done. Thanks all and enjoy.

Signups will not be fast. Right now, folks are concentrating on times of other drafts. But, this thread will be here as drafters start thinking that an early morning draft would be good for them.
Desperation of a bad Main Event draft or one last chance at a DC or OC will happen too.
Drafting, then watching that team the same day as all 30 teams play?

I'm off work that day too... so I will sign up for something!

I just got the days that my 3 sons will have ball practices this spring so now I can finalize my nfbc draft dates.

Love being able to draft morning of opening day.

Thanks, Dan.

You can add Bryan Vogel to this list, Greg.

ONE spot left!

Ok, we almost have an OC filled and Cutlines are well on their way.

How about you guys who screw up your first Main Event?
You know where to come if that happens!
Or even if you don't and want to top the first Main Event.....

We have one signup so far for the Main Event...

1. Abdul Madani

We have two signups for a DC that morning...

1. Richard DiMondo
2. Dan Kenyon

Think of this as that sign on the road....."Last gas for the next 100 miles"

You will also have the advantage of knowing ALL the info there is heading into the season. Maybe even a few lineups too.....

Something to think about if feeling a 24 hour flu coming on on Opening Day

NOW 12 SPOTS LEFT for the April 1st 8 am OPENING DAY MAIN EVENT!!!

Here we go and there was some good chatter about this one at the New York Live Events. As one guy said, "What a great way to enjoy Opening Day!" We agree.

Let's do this:

Remember, if having buyers remorse this weekend....One. Last. Chance.

Hi Dough

Missed you bud !

I work the night of 31st and supposed to on the 1st, but I'm feeling a Magrane coming on

I wanted to do one of these $150 DC express leagues this weekend however I don't see anything with a shot of filling.

If you can find 13 others for that 7 am draft, I'd be happy to join ya.

I call it the 5:00 AM draft and I would drag my groggy ass out of bed for it, but I need to see a little momentum.

Good to hear from you fellas!
Doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Just can't get fifteen drafters on the same page at once.
