Anyone interested in making this a 12 team league?

I am not. I consider this a tune up for the main event and therefore I am only interested in a 15 team league.

Greg -

Will you still be running a Draft Champion Slow Draft in January?

I was in that league last year and enjoyed drafting at the end of January - late November/early December is too early for me.

Thanks -

Larry

John Pacca We have 15 owners for this now. I had one other owner request to be in this, but he can't draft until Friday. Maybe I'll start a new signup thread after we close this one out and get another $125 league going soon.

Anyway, this one is definitely full. There is no signup page yet, but we'll get you to do that later this week. Just send your KDS preferences to me by tonight at [email protected] and I'll whip up the draft order tomorrow morning and get this to Geoff at MockDraftCentral.com. We'll be drafting by tomorrow. Thanks all and good luck.

Okay, just a heads up that we now have seven owners for the $325 Slow Draft that will start once we have 15 owners. Here's the current lineup card for that one. Just post here if you'd like to join that one.

Okay, here are the 15 teams in this first $125 Slow Draft. I apologize to Jason Duponte who signed up on Sunday. He wanted to do this but couldn't draft until Friday and I thought it was best to get this one started right away. So I'll start another signup thread today with Jason's name at the top of the list. Look for that shortly along with a few more options since I know folks are chomping at the bit to get the season started.

Here are the 15 names for this draft and I'll produce the draft order shortly. This is NOT the draft order.

1. Scott Nordby

2. Joseph Anello

3. Robert Zidonik

4. Chris Plucar

5. Lawrence Liebman

6. Emory Upchurch

Here is the official draft order for the NFBC $125 Slow Draft:

1. Lawrence Liebman

2. Matt Sterk

3. Don Mathis

4. Joseph Anello

5. Scott Nordby

I'll forward this information to Geoff at MockDraftCentral.com shortly. We'll get everyone signed up on the NFBC game site once registration is finally done, which should be today or later this week. No worries there.

If you want to send a check for this league, just send to:

Fanball.com

c/o Greg Ambrosius, NFBC

105 Pine Crest Lane, Suite E

Iola, WI 54945

Look for an email invitation to this draft from Geoff Stein of MockDraftCentral.com sometime today. Then jump into the draft room, start chatting and make your pick within 12 hours to get this league started. The first round usually takes a bit as everyone gets acclimated to the draft site, but then things should pick up. Someone take charge and even organize a night when folks can jump into the room and knock out a few rounds. Good luck all and have fun!!

Remember, 45 rounds, 12 hours per pick. Enjoy.

It was good to see a lot of guys working on their KDS preferences this early in the season. Here's a look at all 15 preferences and a few quick facts:

1,2,11,10,3,4,5,6,9,8,7,12,13,15,14

3,2,4,5,1,6,15,14,13,7,12,8,11,10,9

1,2,15,14,13,12,3,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4

7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,9,8,7,6,15,14,13,12,11,10,4,5

1,2,3,4,5,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6

1,2,8,9,6,7,10,4,5,15,14,13,12,11,3

1,2,4,3,10,11,12,13,14,15,6,7,8,9,5

1,2,3,4,13,14,15,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,5

1,2,3,9,8,7,6,10,11,12,5,4,15,14,13

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

** The average preference received by each owner was 4.33, which is pretty solid. That means that on average each owner got their fourth preference.

** Two owners got their first preference, one got their second preference and five got their third preference. 11 of 15 owners got a Top 5 preference. The lowest preferences received were 10, 9 and 8.

** 13 of 15 owners still listed 1 as their top preference. 4 and 5 seemed to be lowered for some owners.

Thoughts?

Thoughts? Interesting. I think for many the top four of last year, has turned into a top three for this year. With Wright and Reyes being replaced by Arod. I wonder how many leagues will vary off some order of Hanley, Pujols, Arod start?

Aloha and sorry for the delay gent. Mahalo for your patience.

Was traveling with family today...10+ hrs in the truck. I made my rds 1 and 2 picks. Now that we're rolling will build a queue so I don't slow us down too much while vacationing.

I will be on the road again Saturday so that will be a tough day to reach me....won't be able to do anythgin about it until late Sat night. Queue should help.

Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving!
