Now we are just waiting on Jim Ferrari/Shawn Childs.

Does anybody know how to get ahold of them?
I've got the Bingo machine all revved up and ready to go. :mrgreen: I called Shawn and left him a voice message. Once I get his KDS, we'll be good to go and I'll announce the draft order. Very interesting mix of KDS preferences from this group. Some of you should get what you want.

Okay, I've got everyone's KDS and I've run the draft order. If Max gives his blessing, I'll post the draft spots. But since you guys are so revved up and since this league won't run for a few weeks yet, I'll torture you guys with one draft spot posting every 5 minutes. Max, at the top of the hour I'm releasing the No. 1 pick. Are you ready for this madness?!!! :mrgreen:

Tom, I'm signed up and ready to roll.

Say, with Glenn leading this puppy off and adding to his daily Countdown thread early every morning is there any chance we can kick this thing off at 7 a.m. as opposed to noon?

If the masses approve, of course. And with Glenn being online early in the morning everyday, I'm sure he'd be cool with it.

Yes, I know it's a small thing. But if we're picking our draft order 2 weeks before draft day why the heck should we have to wait for half the day to be over on the day we start drafting?!? :mrgreen:

Thanks!

Tom sets the start time once he forms the league, so just tell him when you want this to start on Monday and he will do it. He can't set the league up until all teams are signed up for this, so we haven't even done that part yet. No problem what time you want to start. It's easy to set up for 7 am ET if that's what you want. Thanks all.

Glenn,
Trying to sign up as well. Where is the $1000 listed? I don't see it under the Slow Drafts or any other tab. Let me know. Thanks. :D

It's listed separately near the bottom: "NFBC $1,000 Slow Draft".

Thanks, Marc, but I am not seeing it anywhere. I see the satellites, but nothing for the slow under the slow drafts under the contests tab or the on-line series tab. Maybe I'm losing...check that, I lost it a long time ago, but would still like to handle this. :mrgreen:

Make sure you go to the bottom of the bar on the main listing (not the Slow Draft list). It's the 3rd from the bottom, but you have to scroll down to see it.

Okay, found it! Man that was confusing as all hell. :? Should be listed with the Slow Drafts to make it a lot easier. But all signed up. :) Thanks for the help, Marc.
