SOLD OUT: NFBC $5,000 Draft Champions March 28th

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:07 pm

Okay, we're picking it up a notch this year folks!!! Are you ready for the 1st annual NFBC Draft Champions Ultimate League?!!!

We are and I've heard that there are enough NFBC drafters who are ready too. MTM organized the first ever NFBC Draft Champions leagues last year and we filled two of those, so this year he has requested one date for the $2,500 DC and one date for a new $5,000 DC. Here's the dates:

** NFBC $2,500 Draft Champions League: Draft Starts Saturday, March 15th
** NFBC $5,000 Draft Champions League: Draft Starts Tuesday, March 19th

Both will have the same prize payouts for the NFBC Super and Ultimate leagues AND will be part of the overall competition. We won't take any prize money out of the league prizes for the overall, but both leagues will be in competition for the $30,000 grand prize and other overall prizes. So the top prize for the Super DC will be $20,000 and the top prize for the Ultimate DC will be $40,000.

We'll get the contest links up shortly and MTM will also be reaching out to many of you. Should be fun and I have a feeling these DCs will get done in 2-3 days. Last year we even created a Zoom room for the start of the $2500 draft and can certainly look to do that again this year. We might even have a way to give them a little more exposure in March, we'll see.

Okay, good luck everyone. Should be fun, fun, fun as we take the DCs to an even higher level. Good luck and enjoy.

Hey Mo, there may be a one hour clock, but it's largely ignored with all involved doing these in a faster DC style taking no more than three days to finish them so they do not run into each other or any of the live events.

Re: 1 Spot Left: NFBC $2,500 Draft Champions March 12th

Post by Baseball Furies » Tue Jan 25, 2022 8:16 pm

NOW JUST ONE SPOT LEFT and I have had several inquiries today alone, so looks like the Super DC will be filled by tomorrow. We're also taking tag-teams who want to pool their pennies to grab a spot in the Ultimate DC for the BIG MONEY! Granted, Dussault, has already his winnings spent from these two already, but we're not just going to let this gigantic, pompous ass walk away this money with a fight, are we? I mean even the usually mild-mannered KC Cha sent me a spit gif when I even mentioned Phil's name to him in a text. :lol: So this ought to be another six-day blood-bath this year going into the live events in NYC. So who else wants in? :twisted:

Re: SOLD OUT: NFBC $5,000 Draft Champions March 19th

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Mar 10, 2022 4:25 pm

Okay, I've emailed everyone in the $2,500 Draft Champions League and everyone in the $5,000 Draft Champions league, but here's the scoop:

We will now start the $2,500 Draft Champions league on Tuesday, March 15th at 7 pm ET. We will make that change tomorrow early afternoon and draft spots will run accordingly. Set your KDS preferences tonight and look for draft spots tomorrow. Oh, and if anyone can't make this new start date contact me immediately because it looks like we are good to go.

Also, we will start the $5,000 Draft Champions league on Saturday, March 19th at 1 pm ET. Draft spots will be announced five days earlier, so set your KDS preferences by the 14th. If anyone has a problem with that start date, let me know ASAP and we'll try to fill the void or help out where we can.

We can't wait to host both of these, especially the first-ever $5,000 DC. Here we go!!!

Re: 2 Spots Left: NFBC $5,000 Draft Champions March 19th

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Sat Mar 12, 2022 10:38 am

After originally filling up the debut NFBC $5,000 Draft Champions league, we now have 2 Spots Left after we had to switch the start date. With Opening Day moving back one week, we had to move the start date of this draft to Saturday, March 19th at 1 pm ET. The goal is to get this done by Tuesday morning to allow everyone to fly to Las Vegas before this is done.

MTM will push this league through and I'm sure we'll get through the majority of rounds on Saturday and Sunday. Should be fun with a $40,000 league prize on the line. This one is back on Registration now and the start date has been fixed. Who's up for a $5,000 Draft 'n Hold league with a $40,000 league prize and a $30,000 grand prize? Yes, you are also entered in the overall championship as well.

Re: 3 Spots Left: NFBC $5,000 Draft Champions March 28th

WARNING: DATE CHANGE AGAIN FOR THE NFBC $5,000 DRAFT CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!

Sorry about this, but once Major League Baseball pushed back Opening Day we tried to get this debut $5,000 DC a little closer to Opening Day and the schedule is creating havoc with several owners. We tried to move it to a start date of March 19th, but that just didn't work for a handful of owners so now we have pushed it back further to Monday, March 28th at 7 pm ET.

I know a lot of folks will be flying back from Las Vegas that day, but we'll have a slow start on Monday night and then finish up by Thursday before the New York City live events get underway. I know there are Main Event Online drafts during that time, but at least this date is closer to Opening Day and it will finish well before that wild last weekend and final week of drafts.

Right now we have 12 of 15 owners locked in and a couple who maybe could be convinced to join!! :lol: We have enough time to fill this one, so be ready to go. Here we go!!!!

Here's our current signup list:
