NFBC Message Boards

We had a great year with the Slow Drafts last season and I really want to expand this area even more in 2011. I've asked some NFBC owners to give me items they want to see in the Slow Draft software and hopefully we can build the best mousetrap out there. We created an online Draft Board for football that includes colored stickers for each position, just like the live boards. We have that software for basketball done right now and you'll see it in baseball shortly. This is going to be a great tool for all of our online baseball drafts this year, but especially those big 45-rounders.



Anyway, with 20+ Slow Draft leagues last year I have a feeling that we could look at developing an overall championship for these 45-round Draft Champions Slow Drafts and be successful. The idea would be to add $25 per team at all price levels and create an overall prize pool. With 80% payouts, we could have $6,000 or more in overall prizes and have a nice top prize of $3,000 or more and payouts to 10 places. It would make the $125 Slow Drafts now $150 and the $325 Slow Drafts $350. Doesn't seem like a big increase and the chance to win a lot more money could be enticing for owners who do these drafts.



Anyway, I'm looking for feedback on this before we get going. Again, these would be just for the 45-round Draft Champions Slow Drafts. Something extra to follow during the season if you're interested and it would create another national championship in the NFBC, which is always fun.



Let me know what you think of the idea. 2011 will be here before you know it and we're ready to roll out our plans shortly. Thanks all.

make sure there is an "auto 1 pick only" button.

I like the idea

Yes, please.

Put me down as a yes regarding an overall championship.

I'm all for this too. Great idea, Greg.

Count me in.

I'm in too, because I hate the FAAB system.

Not sure if I will do any live drafts again this year because of the FAAB.

i would definitely partake...

I will play LOVE the idea



Stan

Yes, I love the idea of an overall Slow Draft championship. In fact, I wouldn't mind if the overall part were increased to $50.



FAAB is a nightmare. It has taken me 1-2 minutes for every single click in the FAAB area all year long. There have been weeks I just didn't bother because I knew it would be too aggravating! I hope this will change for the better in 2011.

I'm in. Slow Drafts are another angle of fantasy baseball.

IN, IN, AND IN!

P.S. Did I mention I was in?

Great Idea! I still think you should have 1 SLOW DRAFT League with $1,000.00 buy in. This is a great format, thanks.

I like the idea of an overall slow draft . Count me in.
