Now that we have 30 owners who agreed to compete in the Sunday, March 20th Ultimate Draft League, it's time to finalize the draft times and the participants in each league. We originally filled this up with 15 owners at 1 pm ET/10 am PT and then went for a second Ultimate draft League at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT. The leagues were constructed with that in mind. Since then, a few owners have requested an earlier or a later time and it has worked out perfectly.



If anyone can't do the time listed below, let me know ASAP. We'll see what we can do. But at this point we have 15 for the early Ultimate Draft League and 15 for the later Ultimate Draft League. Please send your check to us for payment if you can ASAP and if you can't pay via check for this league let us know. We increased the prize payouts by 2.5% this year because we are not going to have any credit card fees or insurance fees included with this league, so please help us out if you can. Thanks.

I had one person drop out of the Ultimate Draft League on Sunday, March 20th at 4 pm PT. Chad had mentioned that he would move up from the Super to the Ultimate at that time, so I'll give him first dibs. If he wants it, it's his. But if Chad takes that, then we'd have one opening in the Super on Sunday, March 20th at 4 pm PT.



So we may have one opening here or one opening in the Super at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET. Anyone interested in either one?



We'd like to pick draft spots on Friday, but we definitely need to finalize these leagues first. Sorry all. Hopefully we can do that very soon. Thanks and give me a holler Chad if you want this Ultimate spot.

Okay, Chad Schroeder took the last Ultimate Draft League spot on Sunday, March 20th at 7 pm ET, but that leaves us with one opening now in the Super League on Sunday, March 20th at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT. Sorry for the go-around on this one, but if anyone wants to jump into this format we have space. Thakns all.



Here's the current signup list:



NFBC Super League

5. Les Travis, Tuscon, Arizona

6. Lewis Lipsey, Los Angeles, California (prefers Sat; would do Sun PM)

Frank Heron has grabbed this open spot in the NFBC Super League, so we're full again on Sunday, March 20th at 7 pm ET. Now if nobody else backs out of the Super or the Ultimate Leagues we can pick the draft spots and this week and announce them by the weekend. PLEASE, let's keep these 45 owners together. Thanks all.

Okay guys, this league is full and we will likely pick draft spots tomorrow and announce them this weekend at the latest. I'm going to send out an email now to all participants to confirm checks have been mailed and then we'll make this league happen. Lock in your KDS by noon CT today because we're grabbing that data at that point and running draft spots. Thanks all.



Are you ready for some baseball? Let's do it. SET KDS. Look for draft spots soon. Good luck all.

I hope this works for all. Thanks everyone.

The NFBC Ultimate Draft Leagues will be finalized in the next day or two and the draft spots will be announced by this weekend, we hope. I still need to try and make a time switch with one spot and we have one other owner issue to deal with. That can't be finalized before tomorrow and we definitely need to be respectful of this situation. So nothing before tomorrow and maybe Sunday here, but I think we are in good shape.



I'll update this over the weekend.
