New York NFFC 2017: September 1st & 2nd

[RI WORKHORSE]

Hey TK.

2pm was my original idea for a super auction. Sounds dam good to me

[76erfan]

there are several that would only do 14 auction at 1200.

what if you made throwback 1030 am saturday and did super auct saturday night at 730 or 8?

It's an option if everyone on Saturday night would be OK with no food and limited beverage which is the plan for Saturday night with the Throwback. Plus, everyone doing the Throwback would need to agree to switch to Saturday AM and it would have to be a little earlier than that since the Classic is at 1. So probably a 9 am type of start.

Again, these are options but switching something that we've sold out the past two years (Throwback) wouldn't be my top choice. I also don't want to lose the Friday $1,200 auction since there may be people who only want to do that and not $2,500 which is already beginning to happen. But if there are 14 people who want to do a $2,500 auction and are flexible with time and all 12 in the Throwback are OK with Saturday morning we can figure something out.

We still have plenty of time to figure this out.

I'm definitely game for a $2,500 auction but like Greg said finding the right time in our two days is the question. I think the best option would be to convert the Friday 2 pm 14-team auction into a $2,500 if we were going to do it. Friday night is booked with the Super and my guess is people who would want to do a $2,500 auction will be in the Super draft that night and we can't host an auction beginning at 10 pm or later that night. Same with Saturday night and the Throwback.

So what I'm thinking is if we're going to do this it would be at 2 pm ET on Friday. In order to convert that into a $2,500 league we would need people guaranteeing they will do it and no backing out. We've had a tough time selling out a regular 14-team auction the past few years in NY so I don't want to make this into a $2,500 league unless there is a lot of guaranteed interest. Sound good?

For now it will remain a $1,200 league but if you'd like to do a $2,500 at 2 pm ET email me ([email protected]) and let me know or post your interest here. I'll keep a list and if it looks like we can make this happen we'll make the switch. If folks have another idea that will work as far as day/time let me know but given everything we have in NY with two days I think Friday at 2 pm ET is our best option if we're gonna do this.

Working Friday morning before heading into the City, so I'd have to pass on a 2pm start. If it switches to later in the day, please put me down as a definite. Thanks.

if it switches to later in the day it conflicts with the 6 pm primetime on Friday

Having the throwback start at 9:30 a.m. or 10 a.m. would be perfect for me. we would be done by 11:30 a.m. most likely based on the times it took the previous two years.
