Online option??

Greg and/or Tom,



Will there be an online option available for the Main Event this year?



I know it was mentioned long ago, and that there might be an additional fee attached, but haven't seen anything since.



Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, that will be announced today. We are only offering this for the main event on the last weekend of March and there will be an Events Fee attached to it. We do not want to take away from our primary goal of growing the live events. The NFBC is primarily a live events contest, but I do know that we have some members who are handicapped and just can't make it to our live events, some have family issues that don't allow them to attend, or are having babies in March, or surgery, or whatever. So I don't want to just close them out of the main event. The online option is necessary for some of our members.



But again, it is tough on us to run those when we have almost all of our staff at the live events. We think we have a plan in place now that will make this happen and we will announce that later today. It's a dual announcement, which needed time to develop, so stay tuned. But that option will be there and it will be announced today.



Good timing Billy.
