Greg/Tom,

Will there be AL & NL only auction leagues again this year? How do we sign up? I'd like a spot in each.

Thank you,
Mike

We will probably offer these again Online this year, although the NL-only league had some issues with filling the league last year. We will likely pick similar Online dates this year and get them on Registration. I'll post here when that is done and hopefully we can fill them again. Thanks.

Greg,

Please add a $500DC Auction for the first Sunday (or Saturday) in March….the $500DC Auction in March…an NFBC tradition like no other. We filled two of these last year. It’s a fun, fun league with a great group of owners who look forward to this every year as prep for live auctions without the hassle of FAAB. Also, I don’t see any discount packages for the 400 DCs like there is for the $150 DC’s. I assume this was merely an oversight & not an intentional decision to neglect the $400 DC volume players. Please advise. Thanks.

Yeah, we're still getting everything added to Registration. We will definitely add that $500 DC Auction for the first weekend in March. It was cool to get two $500 DC Auction leagues last year. And yes, the $400 DC Special Packages will be added today. Working on the CLQ package as well.

Thanks all.

Just an fyi to last year’s participants and anyone else interested, the contests are now live in the lobby. Each is currently 4/12 filled. Thanks Greg for getting these up early.

I'm in for the NL. Great fun trying to squeeze a team out of NL only.

I will ask the question of the participants in the AL-only and NL-only leagues: Should the IP minimum be reduced from 950 IP to 900? It seems like it's a lot tougher in these single-only leagues to hit that 950 IP mark. I can't remember what LABR or Tout Wars is for these leagues, but I'm not opposed to lowering this minimum if needed. Thanks for any feedback.

[Philly High Hopes]

I’d be fine either way. But would go no lower than 900. There were just 4 instances in both leagues combined with teams under 1000 IP and 1 of those teams hit exactly 950 IP. In all 4 instances the teams were in the bottom third of the league and appeared to stop making regular moves. One owner was responsible for 2 of the 4 not reaching the minimum in either league.

[poopytooth]

Im also good either way. 900 works if you lower it.
Pitchers don't last past the 5th or 6th

[sethpoppel]

I am also OK at whatever level is decided. I DO think 900 is the lowest we should go.

IP in last year’s NL only league:

879 1/3
925
950
999.2
1017.2
1036
1131.1
1155.1
1159
1181
1222.2
1354 (league winner)
