Terry Pass Thanks all. That's three $150 Slow Draft leagues we've filled up since Monday when it became obvious that the NFBC was moving forward in 2011. This is great, great news. We'll keep taking signups and then mix these teams up and get them started soon. I wish I had a more concrete answer for when these leagues will start, but please give me through this week to finish some legal stuff and negotiations in Las Vegas and then we should have a plan finalized. It should be soon, though.

Thanks all and enjoy the football games on Sunday. GO PACK GO!!

It will soon be all baseball on the airwaves and all NFBC in your minds!!

We're almost in the clear, so stay with me on all of this.

Welcome Ski Boy!

Sebadiah23 · Post by **Sebadiah23** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 7:22 pm

Someone please remind me what site is being used to host the slow drafts? Fanball's draft site? Just asking so I can present rankings, etc.

I was just reading the other thread, I guess it's up in the air, but I'm curious how the previous drafts were conducted. Not that I care that much, I mostly just want to draft.

I will say this: Fanball had some webpage components that were using Flash for no reason, and it was a big pain to draft on a phone and it also had something about it that was blocked by my work's firewall. So for example, I'd want to take a 15 minute break or lunch to make a pick, and not only couldn't use my AT&T Internet connection on my phone, but I also had to be really shady and login to our test-servers outside of our firewall to make a pick. It was obviously annoying and tedious. On the other hand I was introduced to two different other slow draft sites in the last year that worked from my smartphone. One worked great, the other wasn't full-featured but if I had set my pre-ranks, I could at least make a pick. Many of you probably know what sites I'm referring to.

Anyway, just asking so I can be prepared and set my expectations. Also, Jim please be aware of the hiked up innings minimums. It's the new Stanard.

-Craig

Hello Matt and Steve, looking forward to drafting with you guys and the rest.

***********Info Regarding New Inning Stanards**********

There is a 900 innings pitched minimum requirement for all NFBC Satellite leagues, but no minimum requirement for the number of starting pitchers or relief pitchers on each roster. Should any team not reach the required limit of 900 innings pitched by the end of the season, the rankings will be altered to show that team getting 1 point in both ERA and WHIP. No other teams will switch positions in the standings, but the team that didn't reach the minimum IP will automatically earn 1 point in ERA and WHIP. All players must have played 20 games in 2010 or 10 games during the 2011 season to qualify at a certain position. Minor-leaguers who did not play 20 games at any position in 2010 but who still played at least one game in the majors last year, will qualify at the position they played the most at in the majors in 2010. Additional eligibility guidelines can be found in Section 9. If a player returns from retirement or rehab after missing the previous year, his position eligibility will be based on his previous year's eligibility. If no Week One lineup is submitted, the NFBC will determine your starting lineup. After Week One, if no starting lineup is submitted, your starting lineup will be that of the previous week.
