What league is that owner possibly coming from?

Isn't that kind of like robbing Peter to pay Paul?

Hopefully we can get some last minute signups for both the Supers and Ultimate.

Bump.

Any word on filling this baby yet, Greg?

Wish I could help but I'll be on a plane heading out on a short vacation at the exact time the draft is happening. It's a great format with great players.

Okay, we now officially have JUST ONE SPOT LEFT FOR THE NFFC ULTIMATE LEAGUE!! Sorry, but I had to do a loud shout-out. I have a couple of guys possibly interested in this last spot, but it's time to get this done.

Thanks to all of the owners who helped us get to this point over the last two days. We were close to converting this to a 12-Team Ultimate League or shutting it down completely. But we're now all on the same page and with two new recruits today we're at 13 owners. ONE MORE to fill this league.

Here's the current signup list:

NFFC ULTIMATE LEAGUE
Sunday, Sept. 4th, 1 pm EST Online or in Las Vegas
1. Peter Berall
2. Chad Schroeder
3. Glenn Schroeter
4. Larry Schechter
5. Brian Zeid
6. Will Robertson
7. Paul Clein
8. Asa Alexander
9. Garrett Lerner
10. Frank Heron
11. Bob Particelli
12. Jerry Sloan
13. Jim Kickel
14.

If you have any interest in that last spot, let me know. You could win $40,000 just for winning the league title. Thanks all.

Surely one more person wants into this league, especially when there's a soft, fat fish like me in it waiting to get harpooned!

Okay everyone, we have two people interested in this last spot and everyone else is good to go. I need to call Jerry yet and get this last spot filled. But we are almost there. KDS deadline is noon tomorrow and we'll look at announcing draft spots late tomorrow night or Wednesday. I think we'll have this done by then. Thanks everyone and stay ready. This is a go, for sure and with 14 ready owners to compete for the $40,000 top prize.

Okay, the Ultimate definitely has a full roster right now. The plan is to finalize KDS today, pick the draft spots and then announce draft picks no later than tomorrow morning. I have one more owner who really wanted to get in and just need to finalize that situation with him. As you guys know, we did some heavy recruiting over the weekend to fill this up and we had a lot of moving parts. Just give me one day to make this happen and you'll have your draft spots tomorrow morning.

This will be a historic league and I'll tell you why later. Tom will have folks in New York, I think I'll have some in Las Vegas and we'll do this via teleconference/online like we've done in the past. Look for an email update from me later today. Thanks.

Here's the current lineup card:

NFFC ULTIMATE LEAGUE
Sunday, Sept. 4th, 1 pm EST Online or in Las Vegas
1. Peter Berall
2. Chad Schroeder
3. Glenn Schroeter
4. Larry Schechter
5. Brian Zeid
6. Will Robertson
7. Paul Clein
8. Asa Alexander
9. Garrett Lerner
10. Frank Heron
11. Bob Particelli
12. Jerry Sloan
13. Jim Kickel
14. Riku Vihreasaari

Congrats on filling this up guys.....I know it was stressful not knowing if this would happen.

I think we have 16 now. AMAZING. And to think we almost cancelled this on Sunday morning.
