Okay, we think we can have all 435 spots filled by tomorrow and thus I think we will be good to go to announce second weekend main event draft spots on Thursday. I'm flying to Las Vegas tomorrow and Tom is flying to Atlantic City on Thursday, but we're doing all we can to coordinate a plan where I can announce draft spots on Thursday at 11 am ET. I'll have a better update tonight or tomorrow morning, but that's the plan for now.



Since I will be doing this from a hotel room and likely on my laptop, it may take a bit to post these 21 leagues, so be patient with me on Thursday morning. I may not be as efficient as in the past and thus you'll have to wait longer for each league to load. But we'll get it done and then give you nine days to prepare for your draft spots. Those folks drafting on Saturday will also know their draft spots if they're in the second main event as well.



So that's the plan. We're working hard to fill up these final spots and make this work with 435 teams. We'll get there and give all of you plenty of time to prepare for Draft Day...on both weekends.



Good luck all and thanks for making 2010 a HISTORIC season!!

Excellent

Looking forward to getting my 24-hour advantage over the Weekend 1 folks.

Awesome Greg!



Heading to a track meet around 1:30 and won't be home till around 11:15, so getting it before then giving me something to think about on the drive would be great!

Your PM box is full, Greg. It's open again Lance. I just can't keep up with all of the email and PMs I get. I see someone is on the boards complaining that I don't respond to PMs. Man, I don't even respond to my wife these days. I can't keep up.



But I'll take your PM next. I promise. Welcome back!!

Greg - Us East Coasters want to extend a special thanks to you and the whole fanball crew. Here's two things that i hope will tip the scale to releasing the East Coast draft slots first...

blip...Nelson Cruz was 3-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in an 8-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday night.

C'mon Mark, only one girl & one bucket of Coronas?

Send him a few more...that'll definitely tip the scales.

Anybody know if the Online Double Play drafts occuring next Tues/Weds will have draft orders announced today as well?
