And welcome to the live event Jody. I promise you'll have plenty of fun in Atlantic City. I'm a great host.

Tom, Thank You. Ready for some live drafting. After 15 years of playing Fantasy Baseball even before the web. I think it is time to step up to the plate.

Nothing beats the live draft experience. Being able to sit at the draft table and see the owners in your league that you'll be competing with is a huge part of the fun.

Tom,

Is there a Super or an Ultimate available that has openings for the AC weekend? Yes, we have a Super on March 20th at 1 EST. It will be a phone hookup with other cities but I think we'll have some folks in AC taking part. Are you interested in signing up? If so, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll add you to the list.

We're shooting for at least three Classic leagues in Atlantic City again this year so if you want to take part there in the first weekend now's a good time to sign up and reserve a spot. Let's get to 45 strong at Ballys and I promise to treat everyone there exceptionally well.

We're now FIVE signups away from filling up the auction in Atlantic City. I know we can fill this league up so let's get it done, shall we? Who wants to take these final five spots? Sign up online and let's close this league out.

Mike Weber has jumped into the Main Event and is strongly leaning toward taking a spot in the Live Double Play that Saturday night too. That means we'd be just ONE spot away from filling that league up. So who wants to join Mike and the other 10 owners? Sign up online TONIGHT and let's make this a full league.

We're still FIVE signups away from filling up the AC auction on Friday March 18. I know there are plenty of people watching this league so now's the time to make that commitment and compete for the $15,000 overall prize. Who wants these final FIVE spots?

Though there are still a ton of tough players drafting in AC like Jupinka, Magner, Edelman and others, this is looking like a much better spot to draft from when compared to the ridiculous roster of owners there last year.

No sign of Gekko in AC yet this year, no Gillis, no Bedell, Sousa, Newman, or Deterra......whew!!!!

Now if we can just convince Jupinka to start his Vegas trip a week early, we'd really be in business.



I'm torn on the Auction. I keep looking at it and thinking hmmmmmm.....

Then I remember the Poker tourney at the Borgata that same day I've been eyeing for weeks. Ugh.

Both are a blast, both have a real nice grand prize, both are the same day.

I think I'd have more fun at the Auction, but problem is I'm muchhhhh better at poker than Auction drafting.

Poker, Auction....Auction, Poker....damn, can't we switch the Auction date???

Roy Ericson couldn't wait any longer and dove into the Double Play on Saturday night at Ballys. We'll confirm with Mike Weber that he wants to take part and if so we'll have a full league there after the Main Event. Thanks everyone.

C'mon Glenn - put poker aside! I'll jump in if you do and then it will be in Greg & Tom's hands to pimp the remaining few spots.



Nothing better than kicking things off with an Auction!
