You guys know how much I enjoy the NFBC. And the NFBC is BOOMING. Look at all these sign ups!
There's a slow draft league a day started. A day!
And despite this, the NFBC is missing out on something.
This isn't a complaint about no dashes in the draft room or something like that.
Damn, I do hate those lack of dashes though.
This is something that could be of use to the NFBC.
Auctions.
I have never done an auction. I would LOVE to do an auction.
But I can't.
We all work our way up through home leagues, yahoo, CBS, ESPN and all them other letters in roto leagues.
It's why we'll play roto. We've had practice for what we're doing now.
But there is no practice for auctions.
I know there's a site online for auctions, but after being in the NFBC, that doesn't interest me much.
Several new members and even long time members would like to do auctions. The problem is I, and more likely, WE, do not want to jump in an auction with no experience for a lot of money.
There has to be some way newbies could get involved in these auctions.
Myself, I listened to Jeff Dobies talking about auctions on the Sirius XM show about strategies and such. It was entertaining and Jeff did a great job. At the same time, I thought about all the fellas in the NFBC that would like to do an auction but are shut out in that it would be an all or nothing venture for pocketbooks. It seems to me that if there were some kind of lower cost training ground that it could be a growing part of the NFBC engine.
These slow roto drafts are rolling off the assembly line at record pace.
In the meantime, auctions have to wait.
I don't have a solution.
Maybe a STATS Auction room to go with a draft room. I don't know.
I know that we need low cost auctions like these slow drafts. Once the logistics are figured out on those, you can bet that a lot of folks would be signing up for auctions too.
I know I would.
