NFBC 1-Hour Draft Champions Deadline: March 21st

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Feb 28, 2023 9:49 am

For the record, the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship is on a record pace and we wouldn't be surprised if we top 5,000 teams this year for the first time. It's been fantastic to watch this contest grow through the years and the faster draft times and improved software are allowing people to enjoy these DCs more and more, while even competing in more DCs.

We also are filling more Draft Champions Express leagues earlier this year and we expect to have a busy month of March for those nightly drafts. Look for nightly drafts each day through March as we get ready for Opening Day on Thursday, March 30th.

Most of our DC leagues are cruising along pretty well and most leagues are getting done in 21 days or less. Reducing the clock in half for the 4-Hour and 2-Hour leagues starting in Round 31 also helps move things along.

So with that in mind, we will keep Registration open for the NFBC $150, $400 and $1,000 Draft Champions leagues through Thursday, March 9th. That will give everyone 21 days to complete their drafts and we shouldn't have any problems during those final days before Opening Day. If we have any slow moving leagues, Darik will aggressively move the clock forward until everyone is done before the first pitch on Thursday, March 30th.

We also will set deadlines for the other formats for this contest. Here's the new schedule for each format, so plan accordingly:

NFBC $150, $400 and $1,000 4-Hour Draft Champions: We will take signups through Thursday, March 9th and try to start all of these leagues on that day.

NFBC $150 & $400 2-Hour Draft Champions: We will take signups through Thursday, March 16th and try to start all of these leagues on that day. That would give everyone 13+ days to complete their 50 rounds, which is more than enough time since we lower the clock to 1 hour starting in Round 31. Plan accordingly.

NFBC $150 & $400 1-Hour and 30-Minute Draft Champions: We will take signups through Tuesday, March 21st and try to start all of these leagues on that day. That would give everyone 8+ days to complete their 50 rounds, which seems doable. Plan accordingly.

Draft Champions Express Leagues: These are scheduled more frequently starting this week as we now have them every night of the week. We may not fill every single one, but DC Express leagues will be available every night going forward.

Hope this helps. Plan accordingly and thanks for making this format such a big hit this year with a record $40,000 grand prize. The overall prize pool has a good chance to grow this year, so keep the signups coming. Let's grow, grow, grow this great format together.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day for NFBC $150 and $400 Draft Champions leagues. We don’t want to start any of these 4-Hour leagues any later than Friday morning.

Get in now or be ready for the 2-Hour, 1-Hour, 30-Minute or Express leagues.

LAST CHANCE: Remember today is the last day to get into the NFBC $150 Draft Champions League. We have a partial league now and once that league is full we are turning off the 4-Hour offerings. Thanks all and enjoy.

Just a reminder that THURSDAY is the last day that we are taking signups for the NFBC $150 and $400 Draft Champions leagues. We are NOT taking signups after Thursday for this format as we need to finish these 50-round drafts in 14 days. Jump in now to compete in this format or be left out.

We will still offer 1-Hour, 30-Minute and Express DC leagues, however, so those are your options after Thursday. Thanks all and enjoy.

Just a reminder that NFBC 1-Hour Cutline Best Ball Championship Leagues will be available through Thursday. We won't start any of those later than Thursday. Thanks all and good luck.
