Greg - My bad. I got the day I wanted right, Saturday, but said 3/25. That Saturday is actually 3/28. I see you listed me on Sunday 3/29. Please make the switch to Saturday. I will be away on Sunday. 5:00 is correct though. Thanks - Pete It should be right now Pete. Good luck.

Six more signups overnite brings us to 264 paid teams now for the NFBC Online Championship. Thanks all as this contest is going better than expected. We'll definitely be adding to the overall prize pool when all is said and done because the $20,000 Guarantee is based on only 300 teams. We'll have to go above that just to fill up each of the 16 draft dates fully. Keep 'em coming.

Six more signups already today have brought us to 272 teams for the NFBC Online Championship. Thanks all.

We have 282 paid teams for the debut NFBC Online Championship as of this morning. We'll obviously have to go above 300 to fill each of the 16 leagues perfectly, but that means our overall prize pool will grow along with the number of teams. I will expand the prizes beyond just first place and this will also allow us to add additional prize places for the Combined Standings. Stay tuned as each additional league will add $1,410 to the overall prizes. Thanks all.

When do the card get hit for the on line and championship and is that auction spot still open in Chicago?

The plan is to start charging the full leagues next week.

And yes, we have one spot left in the Chicago $650 Mixed Auction League. You want it?

I might have accounting hit these starting Monday, March 16th. We are hitting the auction leagues now and will do the Supers later this week and possibly the Ultimates. I'll give an update on these soon, but I'd say the 12th or 13th at the earliest for the online championship charges.

My GODFATHER, Frank Cracolice, just made me an offer I cannot refuse. I'm registering now for 2 more teams online. I'll hit these seperately on the signup page, but with three teams I'll be happy to take the $100 discount.

You are good to go my friend. Oh, and I just took care of the three-page discount on our end, so the total will be $950 when Jill runs the cards (she's still doing that for us). We are on a ROLL with the Online Championship, so look out!!

Greg:

The discount was actually picked up when I registered. I used the same username as the first signup and the signup page automatically knocked off the $100 for the 3 pack when I signed on for the additional two teams. Nicely done.

Greg,

I signed up 2 teams in the Online Championship, but it appears as if there is a discount for buying a 3rd team.

Can I add a 3rd team at this point and still get the discount? Or did they all need to be purchased at the same time?

Will sign up a 3rd team for sure if it only cost me $250 more.

Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, for anyone who is doing this I am manually taking the $100 off your third team. Just sign up online and don't worry about the third charge for $350. We'll make sure it's $250 before we run the cards.
