NFFC To Host Live Drafts At Fantasy Football Fest

[Greg Ambrosius]

For anyone coming to Fantasy Football Fest, the NFFC will be at booth #408 and running the Fantasy Pavilion drafts as well. Look us up. We also had a nice push of signups this week and should have the Saturday 11 am and 4 pm $150 12-Team Satellite Leagues filled shortly. It would be nice to get those draft spots announced before we leave for Atlantic City and get everyone set up and ready to go. It will also be nice to have a live pay draft on Saturday morning when people come through the doors so that they can see what we're offering throughout the weekend. This should be a good time.

Let Tom and I know if you're coming to Atlantic City and we'll plan our beer budget accordingly!! Thanks all.

We have a lot on our plates with the live drafts coming up, but we really do look forward to coming to this debut event and meeting a lot of fanatical East Coast fantasy players. It will be fun to introduce them to the NFFC drafts, our 12 and 14 team formats, and everything else we do. Hopefully we'll recruit some new players while we're out there.

And the Saturday 4 pm draft. I think we'll fill up several leagues on the spot once people see folks drafting for prize money. Should be fun.

I hope a big crowd comes to this debut event. Should be good.

I believe the entire room will have wireless internet, but I don't know about electricity in the draft room. Bring a strong battery!!!

Okay, we have filled up the 4 pm Saturday $150 Satellite League. We'll pick draft spots this week and email everyone the draft order. Thanks much all. We'll take other signups live on site if you're coming and don't know your exact schedule yet. Thanks.

Here's the full 4 pm $150 Satellite League:

Tom and I are getting ready to head to Atlantic City this weekend for the debut Fantasy Football Fest and we are excited to see how this national convention takes off. Every "hobby" has a national convention and it would be great to see this event in Atlantic City become our big consumer show. The autograph lineup is off the charts and there appears to be a lot of booth holders and a lot of fantasy players coming for advice, drafts, seminars and the beer tent!! That's where we'll be, I know that!!

We're at booth #408 and I already know that several NFFC veterans are going to be there: Shawn Childs, David Martino, Donald Thompson, Perry Lin, Andy Saxton, and more. If you want to draft in any of our $150 satellite leagues, just stop at the booth and we'll try to fill some on the spot. We do have 1 SPOT LEFT on Saturday at 11 am in the 12-Team $150 Satellite League if you're interested. We'd love to fill that one in advance and get draft spots out this week. Sign up online or contact me at [email protected] to secure that spot.

The current signup list is shown above. Thanks all and hopefully we'll see a bunch of you over the weekend. This is your chance to down a beer with me on the East Coast!!!

Yup. I just need to confirm one signup but it looks like we'll be able to set that one up before the event as well.
