NFBC Message Boards

Okay, we know you've been patiently waiting for us to finalize all of our event contracts and provide all of the details for each event. And we know it's taken longer than we expected, but we believe we have everything in place (Friday at Citi is looking better) so we can now make a special three-pack offer for a limited time.



Our Christmas Special will be available tonight on the Registration page for anyone who is planning to do a three-pack during the second weekend in Las Vegas, New York and Chicago. As you all know by now, we have $100 Events Fees in New York and Las Vegas and a $50 Events Fee in Chicago because we are providing food and drinks at those drafts that cost as much as we are charging. The space at those locations are higher than at any other location we've ever hosted the NFBC at, but we want the NFBC draft experience to be like nothing you've ever experienced before in fantasy sports.



Our Christmas Special includes:



-- NFBC Classic Entry ($1300)

-- NFBC Double Play ($500)

-- NFBC Auction Championship ($800)



Sign up BEFORE January 1st and we will waive the Event & Co-Manager Fees! A savings of $225!



You must be REGISTERED by January 1st for this package to be available.



Only 30 Packages Available!



SIGN UP NOW and you can save money and still experience the best Draft Day we've ever offered. And you'll be eligible for over $200,000 in prizes in those three events. After Jan. 1st this offer will not be available and only 30 packages are available. Thanks all and Merry Christmas to all!!

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!





Great offer guys, chance to take part in three events at the Bellagio and be rewarded with the fee waivers. I'd like to go down as your first signup for this special Greg. Wouldn't want to miss out on this deal!





I'll pick the dates/times from the signup page! Gonna bring the whole family and have my son sit in as my Co-Manager!





Nice job Fanball!

Nice job Fanball! Awesome Kenny. Tell the CDM game to jump in if they are planning to do the three-pack. Glad to hear the family is coming!!!



Also, we obviously aren't hitting credit cards until Feb. 15th at the earliest and that applies to this deal, too. In fact, we're going to have another special announcement involving payment very soon. We may give you a very good reason to pay by check or money order this year, so stay tuned on that announcement. It's pretty damn cool.



Thanks all and MERRY CHRISTMAS from all of us at the NFBC and Fanball.com!!

Jason DuPonte of Waltham, Massachusetts is the first one to take advantage of the Christmas Special. He couldn't resist, even though he told me he was going to cut back on his leagues this year before seeing this!! Nice.



Just click on any of the VIP tickets in the center of the page and when you go to sign up there is a pulldown on the signup page that says Christmas Special. Click on that and just pick your times that you want to draft and we'll be good to go. Thanks all.

I love this event. I really do. I typically only do the main event, but the whole event has been a class act from day one in 2004 and hasn't slowed down a bit. I have met a lot of good people and many have become friend. But there comes a time when you have to realize that you haven't been successful...and I haven't.



A wise man knows when he is out of his league, when to take his losses, and when to fold them and go home. So there is really only one thing for someone like me to do.



Triple up. I am in for all three.



Who said I was wise?

Dave Clum is already in for all three and he gets the Christmas Special too. I'll make good on those for him and the others who had signed up early for all three. Now do me a favor and watch Dave's luggage for me this year, will ya!!



Merry Christmas!!!

You might want to check if my registration went through also.

Greg:



Only one offering appeared for the DOUBLE PLAY in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 26th - 4pm.





If there is a 7pm start, as listed on the intial mailing, I'd prefer to draft at the later time. Thanks.





Please check the times listed on the Christmas 3-Pack Special, (Sign-up page) they don't match the initial mailing.

Signed up for all 3 contests before the offer. Can you transfer my 3 entries into this program please?



Mahalo and Mele Kalikimaka!

Greg,



Any chance that you (or/and Fanball) can offer a 2-pack special for early sign ups before January 1st for the Classic Entry and Double Play?? I figure it can't hurt to ask... maybe not as good of a discount as the three-pack but some type of discount nonetheless?? It can't hurt to ask. Thanks, Greg.

Yes, I think our times are off on the REgistration page compared to the advertised times on the site. The times on the site are correct. I'll work with the group next week to correct the times on the registration page. But you did the right thing by signing up for the three-pack and I can adjust the times with you and anyone else later. Yes, I was planning on offering a Double Play at 7 p.m. at the Bellagio, allowing folks who did the main event enough time to get dinner, relax and come back for another big draft. I'll get the offerings right on the registration page, but just sign up before we get to 30 packages and we'll adjust during a phone call next week. Thanks Kenny.

Mahalo and Mele Kalikimaka! Done, for you and the handful of others who were in already. Thanks Dan, Dave Clum and the others who were booked into this special.

Taking advantage of the Christmas Special so far tonight are:

Jason Duponte

Wayne Edwards

Ken Magner

Russel Wyatt

Dan Semsel

Anthony Palavis



Gotta love it. Thanks all. We have 30 available by Jan. 1st.

Oh, one more thing: I don't think the site is asking for a credit card right now. We'll get that set up in the next week or two and you can easily add that information through your team page then. So don't panic if you don't get asked for that info. We'll get that info in the system before Feb. 15th, okay?



Also, don't panic if you can't find your 2009 results on your team pages from the NFBC. STATS is sending all of that to Fanball and six years of data is an awful lot to transfer. We were told this could take two more weeks to finish. But have no fear, all of that data will be available to you soon. We are waiting for STATS to finish this for us and then we should be good to go. Thanks for your patience through all of these transfers.

Add me to the list Greg.
