Will the teams drafting weekend 2 have the same amount of days between when they get their draft picks and when they draft as the people in week 1?

Pretty much like clock work annually, we get them about 5-10 days prior to draft day.

We're glad to welcome Richard Van Fleet of LaJolla, California to our first weekend Main Event, which means we now have 144 owners on March 19th. We have SIX SPOTS LEFT and a couple of owners almost ready to jump in. This might take some time this weekend to fill this last Main Event league up, but I know we can do it. Thanks all.

You can do this online or join me in Las Vegas!!! Let's do it. Thanks all.

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 7:13 am

Former NFBC overall champ Terry Haney has grabbed a second Main Event team on the first weekend to bring us within FIVE SPOTS of a 10th full league. AWESOME. Terry is also signed up for the Main Event in Las Vegas on March 26th, so he's doubling his fun. Thanks and let's fill this baby up.

Let's keep it going all. Thanks.

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 6:41 am

Donn Johnson of Atlanta, Georgia is adding to his Main Event pleasure by taking a first weekend Online team, thus bringing us to 146 teams. That means we have FOUR SPOTS LEFT in the Main Event. C'mon, who wants to get in and get your draft pick shortly? I'm beggin ya!!!! Thanks Donn and we're almost there.

Contact me at [email protected] or at 715-254-5553 if you have any interest. Thanks all.

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 7:41 am

I wish they were joining me in Las Vegas, but I'm certainly not complaining at all!!

We now have THREE SPOTS LEFT for the first weekend Main Event thanks to the arrival of Frank Kowalski. Thanks Frank for jumping in and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize. We can do it!!! Let's fill this one up and get draft spots announced by tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Thanks all.

Long time veteran John Piontek of Orlando, Florida called earlier in the week to see if he could still get in the first weekend Main Event and today he finalized his plans and will join us on the teleconference/online league with our participants in Florida. We're VERY GLAD to have him back. John won a national fantasy football title in 2003 and is looking to add a national baseball title to his resume. Welcome back my friend and I'll see you in Orlando in mid-April. Until then, good luck in the hunt for this year's $5,600 league prize and the $100,000 grand prize.

TWO SPOTS LEFT!!! Can we sell this out by tomorrow? Thanks all. Contact me at [email protected] or at 715-254-5553 if you want one of these final spots. AWESOME EVERYONE!!!

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:49 am

Now ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT for the first weekend Main Event!!!

I'm happy. We're glad to welcome James McGough of Derby, New York to the NFBC's Main Event as he came through today with a signup for the Online Main Event. He will be part of this last league we are putting together and we need just one more signup to get it done. With any luck we'll pick this draft order tonight. Thanks all.

Who wants to fill this league up for us?? I have some leads, so stay tuned. All is good.

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 11:10 am

Just a heads up to these owners that we will get your draft slots to you by tomorrow morning at the latest. We will combine this into Las Vegas League 4 with owners at the Bellagio and a teleconference/online hookup. This is looking like a good, tough league, so be prepared!!

This should be fun:

NFBC veteran Craig Katz of Sherman Oaks, California tried to reach me on Friday to grab a spot in the first weekend Main Event and for whatever reason his email went to my Spam folder. That's no way to treat a good customer!!

Fortunately I decided to check my Spam folder and found his email and a few others. I contacted Craig today as he worked so hard to clear his schedule for this online Main Event league and thankfully he was still waiting for my return call. He grabbed the last spot and NOW WE'RE FILLED for the first weekend Main Event!!! AWESOME job everyone.

I need to make sure everyone is good to go and then we'll pick these draft spots. Let me work with Tom on this and at the very least we'll announce these first thing in the morning. Thanks all.
