NFBC Message Boards

With Draft Day just five weeks away, I thought I'd start one last thread to see if anyone wanted to jump into the Slow Draft League format before the satellite league season starts. These are great because they are 45 rounds and don't include any in-season FAAB bidding. What you draft is what you get.



Here's a twist this week: We offered three free NFBC main event entries for the $325 price and those went quickly early on. The $250 offering didn't fill, so let's use the same principle at $250 and see if it fills. We'll offer two free entries for the top two teams in the $250 DC and $400 to the third place finisher.



We'll also offer one more $125 Slow Draft DC. Here's the list of each event and the owners who showed an interest in playing in the first league that fills:



Here we go:



$325, 45-round Draft Champions Slow Draft, Pay Top 3 finishers a free entry in the 2010 NFBC main event



$250, 45-round Draft Champions Slow Draft, Pay Top 3: $2,000, $750, $250



$125, 45-round Draft Champions Slow Draft, Pay Top 3: $1,000, $375, $125



Here's the concept: 15 owners, 45 rounds, no FAAB during the season, and we'll pay the top three finishers in each event. So the roster you draft is what you have to work with during the season. There are no pickups, but you still set your starting lineup each week and make moves on Friday for DL players if needed.

Here you go:

BUMP----LET'S FILL UP THIS 325 LEAGUE AND GET TO WORK!

How exactly does the Slow Draft work?

When its your turn, you get up to 12 hours to make a selection, although most select within 5-10 minutes. You get an email when its your turn, and also continued updates every so often on other people's turns.



When its your turn, you just log into MDC, everything is saved just like you left it, and you make your selection. Or you just leave the draft window open all day.



Simple.

My first time in Draft Champions so I would like to go for the $125 league.

How exactly does the Slow Draft work? The Slow Drafts are meant to be less taxing during the season, very deep during the drafts, and convenient during the drafts. We host 15-team, 45-round drafts online, so you are picking 675 different players. There are no in-season pickups, so what you draft is what you get. That also means an easier season since you don't have to worry about Sunday FAAB; all you have to do is set a new starting lineup each Monday.



The draft is set up on MockDraftCentral.com and once the draft order is set we run it. Each owner has 12 hours to make a selection and we usually get through three rounds a day. The Chat room becomes a fun social networking area where you can bounce off opinions on certain players, strategies, etc. It's cool and after two weeks you get to see a lot of players drafted and meet a lot of neat NFBC folks.



And you might even win some money or a free entry into the 2010 NFBC main event. Sound good?

-Craig Thanks Craig

My first day here so how many teams do you need now to fill the 325 lge & also the 250 lge? Also, about how long does it take for the draft to start after the lge fills?

Also, about how long does it take for the draft to start after the lge fills? 15 teams to fill these Slow Draft Leagues. They usually last 15 days or so. You can expect to get in an average of 2-3 rounds per day and these are 45-round drafts with no in-season free agent pickups. What you draft is what you get. Thanks for considering this unique format.

Greg/Tom,



We have 4 so far interested in an NL Only draft. We wanted to know if we could have it added to the list, hoping it gets another 9 to fill it.



Thank you,

Mike
