Good suggestions. I like. The key is finding out how many of those players would be willing to do this high-dollar private leagues the second weekend and if we could fill them at that time or not. But it's not a bad idea.

Second weekend in Las Vegas could be more of a Thursday-Friday auctions/Mains/XIIs and maybe Saturday is the other events. I don't know, just thinking out loud, but we're getting there. Okay, let's see when Opening Day is and then plan accordingly. We're on it and I'm glad we've been able to get on this earlier rather than later.

Well stated by Chad in regard to the whole scope of things, especially the high dollar events. I agree with his take. Love getting back to March Madness. Hope my CDM pals are listening. Reunion time boys

Greg, this should also open the door for a stronger Online push for those people that get the draft taste LIVE but get that added itch to add another team with a weeks worth of more information. When you get that MLB opening day listed, please keep this in mind when you and Tom work on the schedule of events.

Here's my take. Though I understand the High Rollers wanting to wait to the last minute to draft. They should think about Greg and the staff that would have to be away on Easter weekend. I know Greg has a stiff upper lip and hairy too! But You know deep down he'd rather be with his family that weekend. If you sucked it up for the Hairy Lipper for just this year I think would be a great thanks for 10 years of fun. Do a super weekend with March Madness for old times sake.

What do you mean I can gamble but not play fantasy baseball???

Thanks for looking out for me and my family John, but I think we'll be okay that Easter weekend in Las Vegas. I trust that the NCAA will still host games that weekend and people will still travel to Sin City to enjoy the games, so we'll probably host drafts there, too. I agree that maybe just Thursday to Saturday, leaving Easter alone. That would be a good day for me to go home and see my family, too. I think we'll be okay and somehow my family will still love me. Either way, they won't see me until after Opening Day anyway and they know that!!! :D

And let's get you to the live drafts in Las Vegas for the 10th anniversary. It wouldn't be the same without you!!! Time to talk to your state AG and tell him he has his priorities screwed up. ;)

I'm in for weekend one if we use the big weekend up front option. Racing in New Mexico on Mar 17th so easy to jump back on a plane and head to Vegas from El Paso.
