SOLD OUT: 4-Hour Draft Champions League #2

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, we are doing everything we can here at the NFBC to accommodate all of the lifestyles, ADD personalities, work schedules, and time schedules of everyone in order to enjoy the Draft Champions Leagues. Our regular format is an 8-hour time period between picks and those are filling up almost every day. However, we have added some unique DC drafts that let's people sign up for faster portions of these DCs.

Below are some lists that accommodate everyone. Obviously, we need to fill them first, but check them out below. If you like any of these formats, LET ME KNOW. Please DO NOT SIGN UP ONLINE FOR ANY OF THESE!! We have the system automated for the next 8-hour draft and I will have to manually set up these leagues. As you can see below, we have some leagues with only 4 hours per pick, some with regional owners in them and even some that pick all day and allow you to sleep at night. We've seen that some of these can be finished in as short as 6 days. WOW!!

The format that I think will catch on the most is 4 hours between picks. This is a setup for folks who aren't afraid to use the 1 Round Auto Pick feature and know how to set up their Que. I think that format will get done in 10 days or less. We have one full league drafting in that format right now and we have spots for a 2nd league below. Check it out.

I'll update all of these unique leagues on this thread, so if you want to get into any of these please email me at [email protected] or post your desires on this thread. Thanks all.

See the current signups below:

This next option is to try and encourage more picks per night for those drafters in the same time zone. So let's set up an East Coast NFBC Draft Champions League and a West Coast Draft Champions League. These are 8 hours per pick, but with folks in the same general area of the country. Hopefully this will speed up some nightly picks as folks gather during similar hours. So here are the two signup lists for those:

NFBC East Coast Draft Champions League
15 teams, 50 rounds, 8 hours per pick
Starts After Jan. 15th once we get 15 teams
1. Dean Harkey

NFBC Midwest Coast Draft Champions League
15 teams, 50 rounds, 8 hours per pick
Starts After Jan. 15th once we get 15 teams
1. Tom Burniski
2. Jason Perkins
3. Tim Haider
4. Ryan Cooley
5. Doug Reed
6. Matt Anderson

NFBC West Coast Draft Champions League
15 teams, 50 rounds, 8 hours per pick
Starts After Jan. 15th once we get 15 teams
1.

All of these leagues are part of the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship and the $10,000 grand prize. Owners are just compiling their teams in different ways. Hopefully this helps us grow the format and helps all of you owners looking to do more DC leagues this off-season. Let the signups begin and remember to do them on this thread or via email to me. With all of these leagues now automated, we need to sign everyone up at a certain time to form these special leagues. We'll show you how once we reach 15 names on any of these lists. Thanks all and ENJOY!!

Here's one more unique DC draft:

It is a $150, 50 Round Draft, 8 Hour Clock (for sleep only)
We are looking for a well paced draft with Message Board contributions.
2nd League
1. Marc Rogovin
2. Kris Carroll
3. Sam Botnick
4. Jason Perkins

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, I like the interest in these 4-Hour DCs. We now have ONLY 10 SPOTS LEFT!! We'll star these the day after we get 15 owners, so plan accordingly. Again, these are part of the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship and the $10,000 grand prize. The only difference in these drafts is that you have 4 hours per pick instead of 8 hours. Thanks all.

Here's the current signup list for this one:

Maybe the "Coast" Leagues could get their own thread so they can fill? Or maybe pluck owners from the existing 150 signups? Not sure these are getting any notice. I'd like to get started. Thanks!

i would sign up, however the mrs told me to cut that baseball shit out effective immediately. looks like i'm in the doghouse for a while

"i would sign up, however the mrs told me to cut that baseball shit out effective immediately. looks like i'm in the doghouse for a while."

That could be an NFBC record, in the dog house on 1/18!

Greg, I have a ? regarding that 4-hr time clock draft. Is it really an 8-hr timer, you're just expected to draft within 4-hrs? Or are you expected to set your alarm clock every 4-hrs in the middle of the night? I would definitely be in the dog house then! LOL

I would be lying if I told you that I wasn't taking some sick pleasure over this post at your expense. Although this is the exact reason why I keep the wife almost totally in the dark about my "baseball shit".

I would imagine some people don't have a choice, espeically trying to hide 15 drafts by mid-January!

Heck, the slow, I mean, 8-hr DC I''m doing now is "just a mock draft with co-workers"!

It helps to pay for these with my own CC, otherwise, I'd be doomed.

Frankie Frisch said it right. "Baseball is like this. Have one good year and you can fool them for five more, because for five more years they expect you to have another good one"

I'm reaping the benefits of a couple good years...and some well timed gifts to the significant other, paid for with fantasy baseball winnings.

It's a 4-Hour time clock.

NOW ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT in the next 4-Hour Draft Champions League. The clock will be set at 4 hours, so please know how to use the 1 Round Auto Que. This should be a lot of fun. This league won't start before Monday and might not start until Tuesday, so plan accordingly. Once we get 2 more signups, then I'll let you know how I'm going to sign everyone up for this one. Thanks all.

It's been several days. I need to get in another, especially one that will be done in about five or six days . Sign me up, Greg and let me know when we are to register. Please add me to the list. And #15 better be someone whose cell number I already have. I will be soon contacting those of you who I don't know or don't have your numbers already soon. I will keep this thing rolling, ladies. Feel free to PM your cell numbers in advance. Looking forward to challenging the record set in the first ever one of these.

[KJ Duke]

Put me in. I know I can beat Massotto, so I only have 13 others to knock off.

Damn it, Duke. I was hoping I could dodge you this season. And if you believe that one, I have a spot in an MLB contract league that I want to sell you. Good to have you in on this one, KJ. Bunch of good guys, and with you on board, I'm sure that we'll keep them moving.

[Baseball Furies]
