Thanks! Thanks for getting them loaded but a minor problem on LV 1 Bama and Madcow should have Clayton kershaw and Russs Olendorf on our roster instead of Jake Westbrook and Micael Stanton.

Thx for the warm welcome Steamers.First time Main Eventer and just being honest here;far from impressed with the site itself and the delay on rosters being added along with Free Agents is a little worrisome heading into this season.I'm sure EVERYONE would agree its time to think about BASEBALL;NOT tech difficulties.

Thanks! All first weekend rosters from the live events are up and running now. Sorry for the delay. We had roster problems with some of the leagues that were entered by our facilitator out there and that caused some of the LV delays. We have them figured out now.

All of the second weekend rosters will be loaded no later than the end of today, hopefully sooner. We are on schedule there.

Some of the Slow Drafts from MDC.com may not be loaded by the end of today. We are working through all of that now and have 12 left. John is working on those as we speak and hopes to have most if not all of them done by tonight. But it's possible a few will be done tomorrow. So hang in there and all will be rolling soon.

All of the live events rosters will be loaded this afternoon and in fact we'll load them city by city until we are done. Henry is going to do this and I just got off the phone with him and he's ready to roll. So if you start hearing from Chicago guys that they see their rosters and you drafted in Las Vegas and don't see your roster, don't panic. Your city might be next. We'll do them all for like Chicago, then New York, then Las Vegas and be done by tonight.

We just had a great, great conference call and we're all on the same page. Here we go. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BASEBALL?

[/QUOTE]I sent this to IT Kenny. We'll get this straight. Again, this is a facilitator error that we need to correct and make sure all rosters are entered properly. I may call you shortly to verify this.

You're welcome, BadBlakes. While I admit that the organizers can definitely use some of those hard earned profits to upgrade their tech, the website is not the reason why I joined the main event this year for the first time like you. This is a serious, high stakes contest of fierce competitors who know baseball players better than those players know themselves. I had a great time at the draft (Citifield) which I thought was done impeccably. The payouts are extremely fair and generous considering all the ripoffs you see out there. These are the reasons I joined.

The website needs improving definitely, but seems that NFBC are doing that. Just as people were overreacting a bit when they couldn't get their KDS two or three weeks ago, they are getting a bit edgy now with the rosters too I think. Everything is going to be fine. They only thing that would drive us mad for about 6 months from Sunday on are those 0 for 4s, 8 ERS in 2 innings, BS, or the dreaded red DL.

Enjoy the season.

$125 Slow Draft 1 and $325 Slow Draft 3 are not entered yet. I know live events are priority due to FAAB but wanted this on the boards FORAC afterward

There are 12 Slow Drafts from MDC.com that are still being worked on. Most if not all should be done tonight. No later than tomorrow, for sure. Good luck and it was great hanging out with you this past weekend.

Thought things went quite well (they did need to refill the Coronas quicker...settling for Sam Adams ain't too shabby).

No worries on the slow drafts....that's just lineup placement for week 1 anyway. I'm still catching up on all the threads I missed while OFO in Vegas.

I think Kenny and I provided some comic relief for LV3 as we were getting into a rather intense debates over a couple picks. We had to translate for the facilitators so they could understand Kenny's LA drawl and my Appalachian twang.
