SOLD OUT: Aug. 30 New York 12-Team Auction League

[greenwichsttavern]

Tom, first off Im fine with the Super being moved to 8pm, but whats the story with the live primetime league on Friday the 30th ? I havent heard anything about it lately and was wondering if its cancelled or not. I had to back out of it because you had it scheduled at the same time as the super but if your having these auction leagues at 12 and 4 pm and moving the super till 8 that night then why cant you also move the primetime league from 6pm to 4 pm and have it going off at the same time as the 12 team auction ?? that way someone like me can do that league at 4 and go right into the super at 8.

Chris, the Friday evening Primetime league is still on. Interest has been slow but there's a lot of time and last year we filled that up in August while combining NY players with some guys on the phone. It's possible we do that again. We'd prefer to keep that time matched up with what we're offering online in case we need to combine New York with those on the phone again. That's not to say we couldn't move it back if need be but it wouldn't be our first choice. Now if there were 12 players in New York or a combination who would be willing to move that start time back we can certainly look into it.

a live prime shouldnt take more than 2-2.5 hours anyway.....its almost do-able for chris at 6 but tight of course.

king of queens and chris are good with 8 super..waiting on alan and nelson who i think are both canidates for the 12 team auction too

Things just keep coming together. Dennis Gilligan missed out on getting in the 14-team league but he'd love to get in a 12-team auction. So that means if we can pull this off we're down to FOUR spots remaining. Can we sell this out this week?

So far no one I have spoken to in the 14-team auction or Super has objected to the time changes so I'm feeling good that we can make this happen. But this remains tentative until we hear from everyone. But so far so good.

[BLACKHAND]

just talked to nelson. he is fine with it.

[Tom Kessenich]

Sounds good. Just waiting to hear from a couple more people in the Noon Auction. If they give their consent we'll go forward with the new schedule.

It was a given that we'd fill another auction in NYC, the auction championship of the universe. I missed out on this last year due to my Vegas trip and I've been suffering from NYC auction withdrawal since. Glad to see that NYC has proven the place to be for fantasy football once again.

What a great weekend!! A pair of auctions, followed by a Super, then a Main Event/Primetime combo the next day!!!
Does it get any better than that??

[76erfan]

agree. this is light years ahead of last years auction pace. Friday triple header for those doing all 3 followed by the classic/prime on saturday is a full weekend in NYC and that still leaves people Sunday and Monday of memorial day weekend to do their bbqs. Kudos to all getting me psyched for football in early/mid June.
