Sunday Night DC $150 Leagues: Viewable By Industry

[Greg Ambrosius]

Guys, we're still reaching out to industry sites to see who will carry this week's draft. We've talked with the guys at BaseballHQ.com, Rotowire.com and Mastersball.com and I think all three sites will have links to this Google Doc. Could be fun.

Our setup has the online draft boards viewable only within the league, but what we're seeing here and what we saw with the way RT Sports did it for the USA Today LABR Leagues has us thinking of a redesign in the future to make our boards viewable to the public as well. This isn't an overnight project, but it's definitely something we want to do for the football season. We definitely see the benefits of this and think it could be a win-win for the industry, our contests and our participants. We're on it.

I'll post by Sunday where everyone can view the results of this league. Stay tuned.

Hey Greg any chance we can try out the new draft software for this one?

I wish, but we are not ready for that, unfortunately.

[Greg Ambrosius]

We will post the Google Doc on our NFBC boards as well and allow a nice critique from the masses here. I think this could be fun on our own boards as well. Sunday Night Baseball is coming to the NFBC boards!!!

[Midfield Thinkers]

In spite of Gordon Gekko, I made a 30% return last year from Wall Street. Much more than Bernanke allowed on any interest bearing account...just sayin'

This idea is doomed. Mark will "sabotage" it.

I stand corrected. I forgot the WCOFB, which promised him a $200,000 grand prize but failed to pay that one off. But you are right, Chad has won national titles in multiple formats and came in 2nd in the inaugural FFOC, which paid $1 million in cash. His resume is amazing.

Impressive list, Mark.

But how many of these guys can say they've never finished lower than 1st place at NFBC?

[Rog]

I am sure I missed it in here somewhere but when is kds being run?

[ALL-IN JD]

I believe this morning Rog

[jaked2782]

I am sure I missed it in here somewhere but when is kds being run?

hopefully any second

[Tom Kessenich]

The draft order is now on team pages.

[Deadheadz]

Doh!

[Gekko]

I don't see Mark on the list of owners in this league.

Way to dominate, Gekko!

I'm picking 4. I'm also setting up my draft blueprint factoring in that u will likely load up on power hitters while jumping each of their adps by at least a round, but in most cases, 2 rounds or more

[Gekko]

I get cutch. U get crumbs. I like it
