If my calculations are correct, we are only 4 weeks and 1 day away from the start of the NFBC Slow Draft Season!

I only have to rank my DH's now and I will be ready to go!

Lets get these leagues filled up and light this candle!

greg - the biggest slow draft need from last year was for a "1 round only auto draft" option. will that be added in time for these slow drafts? thanks

However, it's also one of the biggest developmental changes they're making so they don't have an ETA on when it will be implemented. It's possible we may start the drafts without it and add it later. We'll update everyone when we know more.

unfortunately, i only see myself being able to play in slow drafts (leagues without FAAB) this year due to time constraints. i am hopeful STATS can get this done!

if it doesn't look like they will have it done, please let us know as that will save me a couple hundred of hours prepping.

Greg, when can we expect to have access to the draft room?

Can we start as soon as filled?

Thanks

Agree with Gates!!! Lets get this baby rocking! I call first pick

Gekko · Post by **Gekko** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 4:46 am

Greg - Will you be offering one-night 50 round DC's again this year? Maybe you can have one a week from the week of December 5th - the end of February. That would be about 13 week (leagues). I (or my friend ) would participate in at least 10 of them @ $150 a pop.

Let me know if this is an option, and then I don't need to worry about STATS getting a "auto one round only" option. Thanks.

Thanks [/QUOTE]Geez you guys are antsy!!!

Let me see what I can find out today and get a schedule in place. I'm ready to get drafting too. Nobody is more excited about the upcoming season than Yours Truly!!!

Let me know if this is an option, and then I don't need to worry about STATS getting a "auto one round only" option. Thanks. Geez, you really think there are 15 people per week who want to do 50-round sitdown drafts? Heck, corral them and we can still run those at $150 a pop. I'll do them all day if you can find the folks. But I have to think it's going to be tough.

As Tom stated earlier, we're working on that auto pick option and we want it as much as you do. It will definitely speed up the Slow Drafts and move these 50-rounders a little more quickly. But it's not a simple programming change and we need to test it out thoroughly, too. We have to make sure it works perfectly and the way you folks are requesting if we're going to do this. It's very possible this won't be ready when the draft room is done, but we'll see.

I'll try to get more timetables today and post what I know. Trust me, we're excited to get the draft season going too, but we also want to do all of this right. Thanks for the interest all.

Gekko · Post by **Gekko** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 11:29 am

we'd only need 14 people, as i would commit to each one you had
