Since the Original Gridiron is almost sold out an hour after I emailed last year's owners ... and last year we had a number of guys who wanted in but it sold out too quickly ... this year we'll try for two leagues!

The second league would be a 12-teamer and begin right after the Thursday night opener finishes, which should be around 8pm pacific. It also will be held in the Executive Suite.

The 12-team payout would be $5600/2800/1500 for the top 3 teams. DC format with a $1K entry.

Additionally, there's an extra $500 per team cost, plus all bidding money, which goes into a 100%-payout private pool. Private pool $ is collected after bidding on the night of the draft via cash/check/paypal. This pool is paid out in 1/16th increments to the weekly high-scorer. Bidding money comes from cash bidding for draft slots in round 1 and round 2. Let's get the signups going.

Im in!

This is filling much faster than I thought.

Let's plan on a 12-teamer, but if demand is there maybe it will be another 14er if everyone agrees.

Hopefully, we can make this a 14-teamer, too!

Thank you,
Mark

I prefer a 12 teamer, I like the idea of it being different from the afternoon one.

Agree Jules, plus with the late start ... let's stick with a 12.

I'll take a spot in the "after hours" Gridiron.

You're in Waz, down to 2 spots.

KJ,

I'm interested in this but I've never done, nor am I fan of the bidding for draft spots, but, to clarify when you say bidding for 1st & 2nd round spots, those are packaged together, i.e. 1.12 & 2.1 together and not separate bidding for round 2 picks am I correct? Also, what are the typical bid amounts for draft spots? And is there 3RR? Please advise.

You bid for each round separately, so you could win both 1.1 and 2.1. Picks are made immediately after each winning bid so you know who is left on the board for next pick. Round 2 bidding determines slot for remainder of the draft and we use 3RR, so first pick in R2 also starts R3. Last year bidding totaled over $7K, with highest team ~$1200 combined. Bidding is lighter in 12-team ... last one of those total was $4K with highest ~$600. Weekly payout last year was $880 so one weekly win covers bidding cost for almost every team. Prior year 12-teamer week was worth $625.

Also, I will suggest the reason you're not a fan of bidding for slots is because you've never done it. Soon you'll be a fan.
