SOLD OUT: NFBC Las Vegas $1600 Auction Thursday 10 am PT

[Greg Ambrosius]

We had a full league for the NFBC $1600 Auction Championship in Las Vegas on Thursday, March 20th at 5 pm PT, but one owner had a family emergency come up and he won't be able to make it. If any savior is out there who would like to fill in this open spot we'll make it happen ASAP.

This owner would also be willing to trade spots with anyone on Friday if they could do Thursday instead. We have some options here and a week to make this work for everyone, so contact me at [email protected] if you have any interest and we'll close out this league again.

This is going to be the EMERGENCY thread going forward because we've had a few life happenings in this last week and as a result we're looking for replacements.

Remember that we also have 1 SPOT LEFT in the Las Vegas $2,500 Auction Championship League on Saturday, March 22nd at 4 pm PT. I know we can still fill that one, so sign up online or contact me via email if you have any interest. Thanks all and good luck. Life sometimes gets in the way of us having fun with live baseball drafts and auctions, but we'll make it work for everyone. I promise.
