Okay, so the response so far to the return of LIVE NFBC drafts to the East Coast in tranquil and scenic NJ has been MASSIVE, and with all the best of the best in social festivities in the industry today included! 
Now it's just a matter of pulling everything together, and I'll be working on this diligenetly until the big weekend is upon us. So let's start off by getting the schedule with the intial registration lists going. My goal is to have all of these events 100% sold out by December 31st, so if you want in for one or more of them, you better start making your plans now. All the details on the venue, room blocks, etc. are in the other Godfather Games topic and thread. If you want in for any of these events, just post to this thread, DM, email, or text me. Nothing needs to be paid for now. I just want to know how many of you are planing to make the trip in ASAP, and that all the events will be filled and ready to rock far advance of the others to make it the best experience ever and well worth the travel! Just an FYI, it's about a 50 minute ride from Newark Airport and an hour from Philly in terms of travel logistics. So here are all the events with the current registrants:

So we do have a room block at the luxurious Hampton Inn & Suites in Robbinsville, New Jersey. It looks nice and affordable so here's the details:
Room block is under: National Fantasy Baseball Championships
I think the room block code is: 911
1 King - $139 on Friday and Saturday
2 Queen - $149 on Friday and Saturday
I believe rates are a little cheaper Thursday and Sunday if you plan on getting in early or staying late. I will be running the Godfather Games, so I'll be getting in on Thursday and leaving for Las Vegas on Monday morning.
For reservations, call the hotel directly at 609-570-7041 or call reservations number at 609-259-0300. Use the room block name or code when calling in for reservations.
I'll send out an email to past New York participants soon and hopefully we can fill both auction leagues and everything on Saturday. Should be a blast!!! See you there.

All the events for the weekend are filling up FAST already and the NFBC hasn't even opened up its draft room yet for 2025! Never underestimate the power of the MTM PR & Marketing Department! 
The participants for all the leagues to date have been updated as of this post, so if you want in and want to take advantage of the reserved rooms, don't risk getting left on the outside looking in! If we get it up to three Saturday Main Events, I'll hold the third one at the luxurious MTM Estates Sports Bar and Pub! The Saturday night bash will be even more epic than last year, so let me know what you want in for ASAP!
LET'S ROCK!!!

Okay, it's getting to be that time of year again...actually, it's never stopped being that time of year for me at least. It's NFBC baseball season, and all the MTM events and festivities that go along with it starting with these inaugural Godfather Games in NJ! All these live event are going to fill up fast, and they're such a hit that Greg even got his tourist card renewed so he would be allowed into New Jersey for all the fun.
The events are all going to be done up in true MTM style, so if you want to be a part of NFBC history and some of the best high stakes live events in the industry today, NOW is the time to register for the Auctions and the Main Event offerings. No payment is due until February, but I'd like to get all these events filled sooner rather than later so that I can shift my focus to prepping for all the accompanying festivites including the big after party at the MTM "Estates" at the conclusion of the 14th Annual MTM Ultimate Saturday evening! So search for all the live event offerings listed in Robbinsville, NJ at the Hampton Inn & Suites, sign up, and make your travel plans ASAP!
And always remember,
The Godfather, NFBC

Alas, Greg, your usual lack of knowledge as it pertains to NFBC history especially in regards to your star customer and future Veteran's Committee Hall of Famer is once again stunning. I did in fact participate in at least two auctions many years back in NY or one of the other East Coast locations you have long since bailed on. So, as much as you would like it to be billed as my first rodeo in live auction competition, you are mistaken. However, this is not to say that I shouldn't be taken lightly and this entry looked at as nothing short of an NFBC Freakshow which is why I am presently in talks to contract the best NFBC auction advisory team in history to coach me and of course feed me all the answers. Hell, I may just send one of them in as a proxy for me and sleep in that Friday morning with all the guest hosting and entertaining work I need to do on your behalf that weekend while preventing you from getting yourself permanently lost, permanently injured, or permanently killed during your stay in NJ. Needless to say, a lot is riding on me bringing my A-game.
But with all this hopefully put to rest, I am looking forward to a 100% SOLD OUT weekend for all the Godfather Games and festivities. So with the two Main Events already sold out along with the 14th Annual MTM Ultimate, only a scant few spots remain for the autions on Friday, March 14th with only SIX SPOTS LEFT for $1600 auction championship, at 10:00 a.m., and JUST ONE SPOT LEFT for the $2500 auction that afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
So who else wants in for all the fun with everything concluding in the epic Saturday night MTM Ultimate followed by the wrap party later that night at the MTM Estates*? Let's get ready to rock and do this! Make your travel plans now!
*Attendance subject to whether or not I want any of you jackasses in my house, Greg included.
All you need to do is ask.

My sincere thanks to all who jumped into leagues to make the inaugural Godfather Games a massive success as we are now 100% SOLD OUT! I'll be working on all the festivities from here, and I'll see everyone in NJ in less than five weeks time! It's going to be the best NFBC live draft experience and social event EVER!
