NFBC Rookie Invitational On Mastersball

[Ryan C]

I am very proud to announce that the NFBC Rookie Invitational League will be working with the team at Mastersball.com for the upcoming season!



The Rookie Invitational will have it's own dedicated Forum on the Mastersball message boards. This will serve as our home base for all of the leagues strategy discussions and interaction. The Forum was activated yesterday and will be having the first of many "Chats" starting tomorrow at 12 noon.



The underlying mission of the Rookie Invitational is to have a robust season long discussion about playing in an NFBC league. In the interest of having the freedom to discuss anything and dig as deep as possible into strategy - I reached out to Todd Zola and asked if Mastersball would be interested in helping me achieve those goals.



The is a huge plus for the league and it's participants is that in addition to the roster of veterans signed on - our owners will now have the help of Mastersball's team of experts. Todd Zola, JP Kastner, Brian Walton, Lawr Michaels, Rob Leibowitz and Perry Van Hook will add another layer of advice and information to the project that will propel it beyond what even I originally envisioned.



I also wanted to take this part of the league "off-site" to avoid any potential conflicts our discussions might pose for those of you playing in the Main Event and other high profile leagues this season. Having these discussion over at Mastersball will help minimize the chance that any of our discussions on FAAB or specific players, etc. causes any tension within the NFBC family in season. When I feel a topic or discussion can benefit the entire NFBC community - I will post supplemental threads on these boards judiciously. When I feel that you, the best fantasy players in the country can provide an extra layer of information - I will reach out to you all and ask for it here. I will be updating the league every week here in our NFBC League Forum as well.



Everyone is our course welcome and encouraged to join in the conversation at Mastersball. If you are a first time player in any of the NFBC's many leagues - this will be a great season long place for you as well. You don't have to be a member of the Rookie Invitational to join in the discussions and/or chats. Anyone is welcome to ask questions or give opinions and answers.



I hope everyone is as excited about this announcement as I am. The NFBC will now be a major point of discussion on another major source of fantasy information. It will hopefully drive more first time players to the leagues and further cement the NFBC as the BEST place for serious fantasy players to play.
