We are looking to match last year's totals when we had four Main Event leagues and one Auction Championship league and three Live Double Plays in Las Vegas. As you know, we are back at the Bellagio Resort & Casino during the first weekend of March Madness and it should be a BLAST!!



Many owners will be there for Thursday's first round basketball games if you want to join us for drinks on opening day of the tournament. Friday we will try to fill one Auction Championship league starting at 9 am and then push for a Live Double Play at 4 pm. We're already working on our third Main Event for Saturday, March 19th at 10 am and should follow with one or two Live Double Plays starting at 4 pm. Sunday looks to be some fun as well with us hosting an Ultimate Draft League from Las Vegas starting at 10 am PT, followed by a Super League at 4 pm PT.



We still have rooms available under our room block through Monday, Feb. 14th. Here's the information for that:

Just a heads up now that we have only FOUR SPOTS LEFT in the NFBC Auction Championship in Las Vegas that first weekend. That event starts at 9 am PT (sorry for the early start) and will likely be the only auction event that weekend. Please let me know if you want to secure a spot in this auction before we sell it out. Thanks all and let's keep the signups coming in. Great start to the season.



Here's the signup list for that Auction Championship:

Hi, Greg and Tom:



I originally signed up for the auction championship league on Sunday March 20 at 10 a.m. in Vegas. Since it looks like that league won't fill, could you please move me to the Friday morning league?



Thanks.

I always like to say 2 of my favorite moments every year are when I say hi to Shawn right before a draft and secondly the sight of him walking and sitting down at the other side of the room.



Guess that will not be the case this year.

This auction draft is going to be a lot of fun. When a player is called out for bidding, we should queue up Shawn's video analysis of the player and then let the bidding begin.
