Chicago NFBC: March 25-26 At Sheraton Northbrook

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, we decided to stay in the Windy City for another baseball season because we know the demand is there for our live drafts. We immediately sold out the $1300 Auction Championship and even have two more guys who would love to get into this one. I wish we could PLAY TWO in Chicago on that Friday afternoon. We'll see.

We also have one full Main Event league and have room for two leagues at the Sheraton Northbrook. There is available space if we go beyond 30 teams, but let's shoot for 2 full leagues again and have some fun. If you know you're coming to the Chicago Main Event and want to secure a spot before that second league fills, just let me know at [email protected]. Thanks.

And we'd love to fill up some Rotowire Online Championship Plus leagues in the Windy City. One owner has proposed a $750 Friday early afternoon draft before the auction, which I'd gladly do. And we do have a $750 and a $1500 Online Championship Plus leagues on Saturday night after the Main Event. It would be so cool to fill up both as we PLAY TWO on Saturday in Chicago. Again, if you have interest in any of these leagues, please contact me at [email protected].

Okay, let's keep the momentum going for Chicago and sell out these last leagues. We know the interest is in the Midwest to continue the live events, so let's fill these remaining leagues up and have fun on Friday-Saturday of Easter Weekend.

Hey Sack: Matt Anderson said he will gladly drive up early on Friday to do a $750 Online Championship Plus League if we can gather enough die-hards. We could start between noon and 1:00 and get done before the 4:00 auction. If we can get enough die-hards to do a 12-team live draft, Dean Peterson and the NFBC will host it at the Sheraton Northbrook. Just sayin'.

Thanks for considering.

Greg:

I'm scheduled in early on Friday. I looked to see if you added a signup link for Friday at 1pm CT
for the $750 OL PLus but only found the 4pm offer.

If you add the link - I'll be happy to sign up and get things rolling along with Matt.

Happy that Dean can pull it off, he runs a solid show in Chicago. Southwest finally obliged and dropped
the flights out of Philly - I booked last night. Thanks - lets get this OL Plus rolling!
