Latest Update On $1,300 AL and NL Auction Leagues

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 4:01 am

When the NFBC was formed in 2004, we had the Main Event and two auction leagues: The $1,300 AL-only and the $1,300 NL-only auctions. We continued that tradition last year in Las Vegas even when we expanded to include the Auction Championship and we will once again offer these private auction leagues to keep the tradition alive.

We are halfway full with both of these private auction leagues and I want to make sure we have the right starting times in front of everyone. The signup page on Fanball does have the wrong starting time for the $1,300 NL Auction League, so I want everyone to know that the NL starts at 9 am and the AL Auction League starts at 4 pm. Please note that and we'll have the times correct on our new web site.

We currently have SIX SPOTS LEFT in the NL Auction League and SEVEN SPOTS LEFT in the AL Auction League, so sign up now if you want to compete. We won't expand beyond one league for each. Here's the current signup list for each:

$1,300 NL-Only Auction League

Las Vegas, Venue TBD

Friday, March 25, 2011, 9 am PT

1. Will Tyrer, Beverly Hills, California

2. Dave Potts, Auburn, Alabama

I always loved the double auction days. I wish I could do one, but the time isn't right.

Las Vegas AL Auction was my favorite. When the NFBC went a week later we lost Todd Zola to New York. Along with the other top guns. Than last year Shawn and Eddie took off in the middle of the AL auction draft for another contest. That to me pretty much killed a great league.

I went to the bullpen and my reliever had more gas than Eddies.

It looks like the door is wide for you this year. I'd like another shot at Jon....he ran over the field after we left.

We have moved a little closer to full leagues in Las Vegas for the $1,300 AL and NL Auctions. Nick Cassavetes joined the $1,300 NL Auction for the first time last year and our famous movie producer finished second during his debut season. He's now returning with spots in both auction leagues.

Okay, the signup list for these two auctions have been updated and we now have just FOUR SPOTS LEFT in the $1,300 NL Auction League and just FIVE SPOTS LEFT for the $1,300 AL Auction League. Here's the current signup list and sign up online or contact me if you want to reserve a spot. Thanks all.

It looks like we have only TWO SPOTS LEFT in the $1300 NL Auction League in Las Vegas on Friday morning, March 25th and only THREE SPOTS LEFT in the $1300 AL Auction League in Las Vegas on Friday afternoon. The NL Auction League starts at 9 am PT and the AL Auction League starts at 4 pm PT. These are private leagues only and I think we'll have these sold out shortly. Several past players are still mulling these over, but don't wait long if you're serious about these because I think they're going to fill soon.
