The First FAST DC of the 2016 Season!

[Baseball Furies]

Okay, still looking for two more to jump into this one for some fast DC action come draft room time in the next one week to three months, give or take. So who wants in so that we can close this one out?

If you do it with draft room, count me in. I could use a queue late night if needed.

Anybody got a spare draft room?

You're in Poppy. The updated list is below. Just one more and we'll have a full league waiting in the wings for Advent of the 2016 NFBC draft room. And I did not mean to suggest by capitalizing the word "Advent" that I was implying at all that this will happen around Christmas.


1. Mike Massotto
2. Eric Albright
3. Dan Semsel
4. Bryan Vogel
5. Jon Stadtmueller
6. Darik Buchar
7. Thomas Warner
8. Roger Martin
9. Alan Greenberg

13. Robert Zidonik
14. Mike Lins

Okay we just hit the magic number. George Kleeman took the last spot. We are ready to draft...at some point before the start of the 2016 season. The final updated list is to follow. Very tough league for an early season DC, Poopy not withstanding.

Hey boys, I know everyone is chomping at the bit to get this one rolling, but we are in a holding pattern until the site goes live. Greg said when he knows, we'll know. I have been on it, but it looks like we shouldn't count on starting this thing until after Thanksgiving, and more than likely not until the first week of December as I'm sure nothing much is getting done in the tech department over the holiday. So Happy Thanksgiving all. I will be spending it celebrating and being thankful that football will be another weekend closer to being done so that we can again turn our attention to the only real game that matters, and the elite of all fantasy sports.

Meanwhile, back at the offices of STATS, members of the IT department celebrate an early Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the update, Mike. As someone signed up for DC1, which sold out on November 4th, it has been a long wait. I guess STATS IT strikes again. Feel badly for Greg and Tom - the DCs being delayed by weeks can't be great for business (we started DC1 on November 14th last year). Probably a good thing they have held off on promising a start date for opening the draft room because I'm guessing we already would have passed it and then some. Not sure what is so tough about updating the player list and adding some new names - seems like this should be done by someone at STATS during the playoffs so that drafts are ready to begin once the World Series ends, but maybe I'm missing something. I'm not rushing the end of football season, but definitely am pumped to start fantasy baseball drafting season!

There may be no NFBC drafting this holiday weekend, but at least I received the pleasant surprise of the PDF of my Baseball Forecaster in my inbox today to keep me busy. At least Shandler's people are on the ball. Who knew I'd actually be able to say that and not be sarcastic...I mean at least in regards to Shandler's people.

Hey boys, Happy Thanksgiving eve. Just in case you missed this on the other thread from Greg, we are live as of tomorrow! So look for this league to be set up and to set your draft orders by midnight. We will be drafting by 1:00 p.m. Black Friday. Just a reminder that this is a fast DC.. We are going to be hitting this bad boy at about a six to eight round pace per day, minimum, so expect texts and be ready with your mobile picks if need be. I believe I have everyone's cell number in this one except one who I am working on. If I do not have yours, I will let you know. Thanks and happy fast drafting!

[Greg Ambrosius]

The 15 owners in this league have all been signed up and you should be ready to go. Please set your KDS preferences by midnight ET tonight and look for draft spots shortly after 5 am ET tomorrow. This draft will start at 1 pm ET. Mikey will be your draft moderator/burr up your butt so best of luck!! I trust this draft will move just fast enough to keep everyone happy and drafting on a regular basis.

Thanks all and good luck. You are officially the first Fast DC of the season! Thanks for your patience.

[Baseball Furies]

Okay boys, be ready to rock and roll come 1:00 p.m. EST tomorrow! I have everyone's cell number except Kleeman's (which I'm working on, but he should not be a problem), however, it would be good if we all stay in good communication with each other so we don't get stuck, and it limits people getting 14 texts messages if you're going to be delayed at all making your picks. Keep in mind, we don't have the luxury of waiting even 10 minutes per pick if we are going to keep to the target pace of six to eight rounds per day. So have your queues ready and keep things moving. If you haven't done so already, once you do one of these at this pace, you will never want to do it any other way! As always, shit-talking, commentary, and chat is always encouraged during the draft. Looking forward to getting this one going.

Gonna be on the road in the afternoon...will monitor and pick as able and will try to keep things rolling w/o being a speedbump

[Baseball Furies]

Nice that we are able to start drafting today, but how do we access the "new" draft room that was rolled out last year? I can access the new draft board, but only the old options of the draft room. Please let us know. Thanks.

Is there a way to increase font size of players/owners/chat in Flash draft room?

Using a zoom function to increase font works in HTML version, but only increases surrounding font in Flash version. Surrounding border has a large amount of blank white area, but usable space is condensed very tightly. Looks like the entire Flash display could be increased 20-30%.

[Baseball Furies]

Excellent first day. Piled up 7 1/2 rounds in about 11 1/2 hours even with a couple of one hour delays.

[Teufel Hunden]

5 Days and change. If only they all went that fast. Thanks for organizing Mike.

[Baseball Furies]

Great draft. Great group of competitors. Was a pleasure facilitating this one. Looking forward to the next one. Will be posting the thread for that one soon.

[Yah Mule]

DC #1 left the box like Rickey Henderson, but we're rounding second like Bengie Molina.
