Bally's Atlantic City To Host NFBC First Weekend Events
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 4:47 am
Ahhhh, what the heck. Let's keep the momentum going today and announce our first East Coast location as well. We are very close to a signed agreement, so we'll announce this today and cross all of the t's and dot all of the i's next week.
We're honored to announce that we'll host the first weekend of NFBC East Coast events at Bally's Atlantic City. We will host the NFBC Auction Championship and Live Double Play on Friday in private boardrooms and then have 7,000 square feet of space for the Saturday main event, which starts at 1 p.m. EDT. We will have private boardrooms for Sunday's events as well.
We looked at a lot of different locations for that weekend and considered Delaware, Philadelphia and casinos between New York and Boston. Everything was very tough. We thought about not having a first weekend on the East Coast, but we really wanted to give all of our members on the East Coast the same opportunities that we were offering our Las Vegas and Midwest participants. We really believe that with all of the additional events we are providing this year that two weekends is the best way to go. Now we have all three March 19-21 locations finalized.
Here's the link to Bally's Atlantic City:

We will have a limited room block for each night and food and drink will be provided as part of your entry fee. Details on all of that will be announced once we have the web site done and contracts finalized. That part is still a work in progress, but I think we're close.
Here's the tentative schedule for Atlantic City:
