Two Spots Left For NY March 28th Auction Championship League

[Greg Ambrosius]

I am happy to say that we currently have EIGHT full leagues for the debut NFBC Auction Championship. That means 120 teams are locked in for a shot at the $15,000 grand prize. We also have five leagues that are partially full and we'll do everything we can to fill those. Our goal is still 10 full leagues and if we go above that we'll spread increase the prize pool accordingly, either for league prizes or the overall prizes.



But first we need to get to our goal of 10 full leagues and 150 teams. Here are the five leagues that still have openings. We need 15 teams in each city to make this work. Please plan accordingly and sign up online. We will not charge any of these five leagues until the leagues are full. We don't need your money right now, just your commitment.



Does anyone still want to compete for the NFBC Auction Championship? Join now.

Greg:



Please list Eddie Gillis in Atlantic City with the last spot on March 19th in my place. He has agreed to take this spot and in turn, I've signed up for the Double Play.





In addition, it appears you have some extra auction entries for the two Vegas auction leagues

on March 26th, I'm listed in the 9am. IF, you start to close in on the Sunday Atlantic City auction I would be willing to help out by handling my auction at that time and date, provided that the Xmas package is still honored. Don't want to lose a secure spot, but keep that one on the table if it helps fill another league in Atlantic City on Sunday, March 21st.

If you can't complete these these live, how about doing them on-line -- particularly the Mar 20, 21 weekend?

[Sack]

Eddie G - should be squared today, good deal.

But when Abb talks i listen ive never seen anyone spot talent like Abb. What a character, top notch player too. Maybe I can learn a few things from him in AC and apply it to Vegas the next week!

5. Steven Greenes, New York, New York

6. Gerard Aretakis, Fort Jefferson Station, New York Yeah, I totally agree and we are now up to seven owners for this Sunday auction league at Citi Field. The beauty about this date is that Tout Wars is starting their 15-team Mixed Auction League at 9 am at Citi Field and folks can come up early and glance at the draft board. Nothing else starts before 1 pm, so come on up early and watch a bit from the back of the room and learn about their dollar values for the same format.



Okay, we need EIGHT MORE OWNERS for this one. Citi Field. Tout Wars Mixed Auction League before you. Overlooking a beautiful MLB park from the third base dugout side. Other drafts going on inside the room as well. Should be a BLAST!! Come and join us.



Here's the current lineup card for this one:



NEW YORK

Sunday, March 28th, 1 pm ET

1. Vincent Papandrea, Westfield, New Jersey

2. Ari Benjamin, New York, New York

5. Steven Greenes, New York, New York

6. Gerard Aretakis, Fort Jefferson Station, New York

7. John Gifford, Skowhegan, Maine

[Greg Ambrosius]

We now have eight owners for the Sunday, March 28th Mixed Auction League at Citi Field. This is the last auction championship league we're offering in New York and again it's going off shortly after the Tout Wars Mixed Auction League. SEVEN MORE SPOTS are available. Let's keep this one going and sell it out.



Here's the current lineup card:



NEW YORK

Sunday, March 28th, 1 pm ET

1. Vincent Papandrea, Westfield, New Jersey

2. Ari Benjamin, New York, New York

3. Michael Salfino, Rutherford, New Jersey

6. Gerard Aretakis, Fort Jefferson Station, New York

7. John Gifford, Skowhegan, Maine

8. Alan Salem, Oceanside, New York

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, this is going to be my new countdown thread to get at least two more Auction Championship leagues filled. The first one is obvious. We're at Citi Field on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, March 28th, and Tout Wars has a 15-team Mixed Auction League starting four hours before this. Steal their dollar values and win this league!! We now have only SIX SPOTS LEFT FOR THAT ONE!! Oh, and it's overlooking Citi Field from the third base side. How can you beat it?

Okay, we have FIVE SPOTS LEFT for the NFBC Auction Championship in New York City at Citi Field on Sunday, March 28th at 1 pm ET. Derek Rice was able to move from the Atlantic City auction league to this one, which is a good news/bad news situation. But we have to fill up as many auction leagues as possible and this may work out best for New York.



Remember that Tout Wars will host their Mixed Auction League starting at 9 a.m., so there will be some auction values for folks to see before the NFBC Auction Championship begins. Come to Citi Field and join us for this one. Thanks all.
