2012 Registration IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Fri Dec 16, 2011 7:08 pm

Okay, we've agreed to officially open NFBC Registration for our 2012 contests on Monday. We had to clear one last hurdle today and it just didn't make sense to open it late tonight with the weekend already here. Let's open up Registration on Monday when you have full tech and customer service support ready and available. Sound good?

Once that is open, we need all Slow Draft League participants to sign up online and get your payment information online. You don't have to set KDS online since we've already done all of that via email. We just need to get everyone in the system and payment info on file. You can also sign up for any other 2012 event to secure your spot in any of those events. Sorry for the delay, but Registration is on the way!! :D

We're still on pace to start Slow Drafts before Christmas. We have some work to finish up, but be ready by middle of the week for an update and hopefully a live draft room!! Thanks all. We're almost open for business and next week should be a fun week. We are three months away from Draft Day and thus it's time to GET SERIOUS!! Good luck to everyone in NFFC playoffs this weekend and get ready for baseball. The season is right around the corner and online drafts are less than a week away.

Thanks all.

Okay, 2012 NFBC Registration is NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS!! Sign up for any 2012 event and know that we won't hit credit cards for any live event, Online Championship or Satellite League until Feb. 15th at the earliest. But by signing up early you'll secure your spot in any of our events and be eligible for the Special Packages discounts. Stay tuned for more details on those incentives.

Thanks for being patient all. If you are in a full Slow Draft League, please Register ASAP and we'll load the leagues once everyone is officially in. We have to assign the leagues with all 15 registered owners before we can open the draft room. Again, we are expecting this process to take a couple of days and hope to be drafting before Christmas. We have 5 full leagues already and look forward to starting them soon.

If you have any questions about registration, contact me at [email protected]. Thanks and GOOD LUCK this year.

OK, on the attempts to register and get it to admit I really do exist, the system regressed to the default entries. Can my entries be changed to reflect hr actual dates for me of 31 Mar main event, 29 Mar, 1600 hrs for NFBC XII, and 1 Apr, 1000 hrs auction championship?

Christmas Day is almost here my friend!! :mrgreen: Get a good night's sleep or two and we'll be rockin' and rollin' in no time. Let's make sure we get everyone signed in first, the draft software fully tested and then we'll be ready to go. We'll be working on enhancements to the draft software as you folks draft, so much of what these early drafts will see will be similar to last year. But that should get us through these early Slow Drafts without any problem as it looks like you folks are READY TO DRAFT!!! No problem with the 8-hour window from what I see from this group.

Good luck all and keep the signups coming in. It's good to see them again and good to have all of you officially signed up for 2012.

Just one note about these Slow Drafts: We had to put one default date on all of these since they all start at different times. So when you sign up you'll see a start date of March 1st. Don't worry about that. That's just a default date in the future. Sign up under the $150 or $375 Slow Draft link and we'll be good to go. Thanks all.

Looks like no co-manager option for slow drafts (it's grayed out). Also, do we need to re-register to participate in Slow Draft (new userid and pwd)?

Correct about co-manager. You can add a co-manager once the season begins. As far as re-registering you can register for all of your events at once using your current user name and password. If you're unsure what that is you can email me at [email protected].

Okay, Greg. I'm signed up for the first two slow drafts that I am in (the $150 and the $375), but don't see the option for the $1000 slow draft. Is that considered the $1000 satellite? Don't think so, right? Anyway, PM me because I have five live event drafts I'm in for this year, and want to go over how to package all of them. Thanks, and please let's get this show on the road, baby! 8-)

No, the $1,000 Slow Draft link isn't available yet. That's something I need to add once we get through the legal issues and the draft software. We'll add that in plenty of time for that league to start in February. Thanks.
