The First FAST DC of 2020: FAST DC TITMOUSE-The First 10 Rounds!
That right boys and girls, it's the start of the 2020 NFBC drafting season come this Tuesday compliments of Greg, Tom, and all the crack technicians at NFBC IT Headquarters in the Silicon Valley District of Wisconsin.
So what better way to kick things off than with the inaugural offering of this year's FAST DC series? Everyone who has done one of these loves them. It's a two-hour day clock with the usual overnight stoppage (although taking this long may get you injured), and draft picks can be continued to be made during stoppage time. I'll be facilitating every step of the way, and we'll bang out an average of nothing less than 10 rounds per day. Quite frankly, we usually blow that pace out of the water in the first half day at this, but 10 rounds is the low bar. So Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/and probably done by Friday. Great communication and cell numbers required as a back up, with no slackers or deadwood in these. I want die-hard fanatics ready for some BASEBALL, BABY! So let's do this thing! Sign-up list is below so far, and Greg will instruct when it's time to officially sign and pay for this league. Oh, it's a $150 league, so no one has to sweat donating too much to me this early in the season.
So who wants a piece of this action? I want this bad boy filled by Sunday.

One quick update. We had one owner who needed to bail out of this one due to travel plans, so Terry Lewis was next in line who got back to me for a spot and he's in ready to go come this Tuesday! As always we are thankful for his participation and annual donations to these leagues.

Tom has set this one up on Registration as Nov. 5, 2 pm ET. He will email you when the site is live and everyone on this list can then sign up using this start date and time. We will make sure these 15 only get in. We will start at 2 pm ET and draft spots will be announced 15 minutes after the league is full, so please set your KDS preferences right after you sign up. Thanks and good luck all.Baseball Furies wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 2:57 pmAnd just like that we are FULL! Details to follow. Let us know what to do, Greg.

Please, have a little faith in the IT team. Have they ever let you down before???
Re: The First FAST DC of 2020: FAST DC TITMOUSE; 11/5; 2:00 PM EST
Sitting here just watching my email like a kid on Christmas morning!
Re: The First FAST DC of 2020: FAST DC TITMOUSE; 11/5; 2:00 PM EST
Starting to get worried. After the 2 PM start time and no word from Greg or Tom. Has anyone heard from them? I can call 911 so police can perform a wellness check if needed??

So since this one obviously isn't getting off the deck until tomorrow, I move that we make this an earlier start time of 12 p.m. EST to make up for some lost time today especially with everyone chomping at the bit to get this one going. This should still make it okay for everyone on the West Coast. So we are all awaiting Tom's email so that we can register and set our KDS at some point tonight. Please be sure to set it up for a two-hour pick clock and a 12:00 p.m. EST start time. Thanks and keep us posted.

Personally Mike, I will make myself available whenever it is "go time" I'm only cautioning that the site might not be available at noon tomorrow. Noon is indeed a good starting time, but we do need the site/draft room to be available obviously.
