FYI, these draft times are too early for me to be able to participate. Please consider having some later draft times, as I would love to participate.

People west of the Mississippi are required to take half a day off work to participate

One spot left for the March 28th $250 league. Who wants to take it?

It would be ok with me to move the sats forward an hour next year if that helps. Just a suggestion. I know they often go a long time and it gets very late East coast time if it gets put forward too much.

I had a guy drop out of the April 1st $1,000 league. That league had been filled but now it has an open spot. If someone wants it, sign up online or contact me ASAP and we'll get this set up so we can pick the draft order on Thursday.

Here's a Tuesday night update. These are the leagues I think have the best chance to fill up:



March 29th

$250 Pay Top 3 League, 7 pm ET (8 spots open)



March 30th

$125 Pay Top 3 League, 7 pm ET (6 spots open)



March 31st

$125 Winner Take All League, 7 pm ET (2 spots open)



April 1st

$125 Winner Take All League, 7 pm ET (8 spots open)

$500 League, 7 pm ET (7 spots open)



I don't think the $500 DC leagues are going to fill up. If you are interested in the April 1st $500 league instead, let me know and I'll switch you to that league. I also don't think the March 30th $250 league is going to fill up so I'm going to remove that one from the registration page.



We have plenty of spots so sign up online today and grab one and let's fill these last satellite leagues up and have a crazy but fun week next week.

Hello Tom,



Won't know until later today if I'm available, but is that $1000 opening still available?



Let me know...thanks...Glenn

Glenn, the $1,000 league is full so we're all set there. We do have some other openings, though. Here's a look at the leagues I think have the best chance to fill up:



March 29th $250 league, 6 pm EST (3 openings)

March 30th $125 pay top 3 league, 7 p.m. EST (1 opening)

April 1st $500 league, 7 p.m. EST (8 openings)



If you want to sign up for any of these leagues, register online to secure a spot. Or email me. If you post here, please be sure to include your full name.



Who wants in for these leagues? Let's fill these babies up.

What type of payout is it for the $500 league. How much of the league fees go towards the payout?

80% payout I believe $500 payout is.... 1st-4k 2nd-$1500 3rd-$500.

We have two spots left in the April 1st $500 NFBC Satellite League and one spot left in the Thursday, April 2nd $250 league. Who wants to get those final spots of the season?

Filling the 2 drafts this morning almost gives you 100% with only this $500 45 round draft left. Is it set in stone for the type of draft and time or is there any chance it could be switched to a 12 or 15 team draft with faab and the time switched to evening like your 7 & 9 slot times? With it already half full and time running short, just thought I'd pose the thought if the other entrants already signed up were also ok with the thought. would this be a possibility or not?

Draft Champions scares you, huh?

Yeah, it's possible to add something else next weekend. I'll throw some ideas out tonight or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned. Otherwise, we're filled to the brim for 2009.

All things equal, I would have probably chose the draftmasters over this draft, but the date didn't work for me......have plans with the wife next Saturday (and can't afford a divorce).



All in all though, I'm really excited about joining this draft....I now have a main event, online championship, and satellite team....yup, I'm addicted.

Draft champions actually excites me and I would love to help fill this draft but unfortunately I work on Saturday and don't get in til around 6 so the time doesn't work for me and 45 rounds is a long commitment for the family.

You could do the whole draft on auto.....

definitely not interested in that
