Las Vegas $650 NL only?

Hi,

I've looked through all of the posts and can't seem to find anything for the $650 NL league (s)... am I missing something? Thanks!

I don't see the $650 NL league either.

I'm in 1250 NL LV league - any news on that one?

The first 13 are locked in for the NL auction at $650. The next seven are on the bubble. With 6 needed to sign up I'd say the chances of filling a 650 league over a 1250 league are better.

Okay, we added two more NL-only owners today in Doug Moore and Rick Gromek. Both guys were in it last year as well. Greg Morgan also might do this, so that would put us at 23 owners (not counting the 13 already in the $1,250 league. My goal was to fill all 26 spots by Monday and then determine if we are doing two $650 NL Auction Leagues or if enough guys would want to step up to another $1,250.

So I'll work the phones today to fill the 26 spots and then separate the two leagues accordingly by Tuesday at the latest. Sound good?

We definitely will have three NL-only auction leagues on Friday morning at 9 a.m. at the Stardust. I just didn't list these two leagues until I knew what we were doing and now I have a better thought of what it will look like. Anyone who wants into one of these leagues, speak now or forever hold your peace. And if you want to bump up to a $1,250 let me know and we'll get that done. There are ways to make this happen!!

I think Clark Olson will join us in the $650 NL as well. So now we're getting closer to a full group. Still some work to do, though.

Greg, At this point I only want to do a $650 league. Since I've already paid fot it I'd rather save the extra money for other costs.

I have no problem doing two $650 leagues if that's the way it plays out. We just need to confirm the last three spots and then we're good to go.

Hey Greg,

I want in. I don't care if it's $650 or $1250. I do need to know for sure if I am in, so I can book my hotel for Thursday night. I'll pm you this message with my phone number.

25. Cary Pont, Orange, California (would do $1,250 NL)

That puts us at 9 for the $1,250 and 15 for the $650. We'll know tomorrow night for sure how this works out. I'll try to get at least one more owner for this and then see how it plays out. Heck, even a 13-team $650 league and a 12-team $1,250 league would work out as I'd increase the prize percentage for the $1,250 league.

Thanks Cary and you DEFINITELY are in.

The appropriate people have been contacted and the arm twisting has begun!

Honestly, I think we'll get there.

Point taken...... My bad-----but at least it gives me an opportunity to publicly applaud you for the extraordinary effort you and your staff put into all aspects of the NFBC........ It is second to none.

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 1:27 pm

Jim Hoffstetter has agreed to do this at $1,250, which means we now have 10 for the $1,250 league. If two more lean that way, we could be good to go.

$1250 FEVER! We're gonna get this full.

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 5:35 am

Okay, it looks like we have filled the $650 Tampa-Chicago NL-only auction league and I think we have a 15th team for the New York Mixed Auction League. That means we just have openings for the Las Vegas NL Auction League. We have 1 or 2 and then we need to finalize whether these are both $650 leagues or a $650 and a $1,250 NL league. A few more phone calls and I should have all that!
