SOLD OUT: Las Vegas Rotowire OC Live, Saturday, 2 pm PT
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2024 12:37 pm
by Greg Ambrosius
For the first time ever, the NFFC will be offering $350 Rotowire Online Championship drafts LIVE in Las Vegas and New York City. There will be limited time slots for these $350 offerings, but we hope to fill many of them Live at Dave & Busters in Manhattan and at Park MGM in Las Vegas.
The reason we've never offered these live before is because economically it doesn't make sense. It's very tough to host a live event at the $350 price point with the costs involved for venues, food & beverage, facilitators and the rest. But there are also times at both venues when some ballrooms are being unused and so our hope is to fill up those times with LIVE Rotowire Online Championship drafts.
Our goal with offering these $350 offerings this year is two-fold. First of all, we think they will attract some new users to our live events so that they can see how much fun it is and hopefully jump into other live events as well. Maybe we get some first-time drafters with us live in New York City or live in Las Vegas. And secondly, this gives our NFFC die-hards who would rather keep drafting at the live events rather than just do one or two drafts and leave something else to do while in both cities.
As I said earlier, we have the space to add a few of these leagues. In New York City, we have two rooms to host live events and in Las Vegas on Second Weekend we have 6 ballrooms that aren’t always completely full. I want each ballroom filled with live drafts each day and filling them with Rotowire OC Live drafts is better than having them empty. Now we won’t have food in those drafts, but we’ll offer some drinks and the fun of drafting a $350 league LIVE will be worth it alone.
To sign up for one of these contests you need to go to Registration and pull down to $350 Rotowire Online Championship - Live. Then pick the city, the date and time of the draft and away we go. If you happen to have a regular $350 Rotowire Online Championship entry that you want to turn into a Live entry, just contact me, Tom, Geoff or Brian and we'll do that for you. You can't do it alone since these are actually two different contest entries within our Admin. Thanks.
Okay, here's the tentative schedule and we could add a few more dates and times once we know what the final live events in each city look like:
NEW YORK
Dave & Buster's Manhattan
Friday, August 30th, 2 pm ET
Saturday, August 31st, 11 am ET
LAS VEGAS
Park MGM
Wednesday, September 4th, 4 pm PT
Thursday, September 5th, 10 am PT
Thursday, September 5th, 2 pm PT
Friday, September 6th, 9 pm PT
Saturday, September 7th, 1 pm PT
Saturday, September 7th, 4 pm PT
Let's see how these go and maybe we can add these to baseball as well. Thanks all and enjoy.

Answer: NOWHERE other than the NFFC!!!
That's right, this year we are offering $350 Rotowire Online Championship LIVE leagues in New York City and Las Vegas when we have ballroom space available. We're getting interest and hopefully we can fill up a couple of leagues with new players and NFFC veterans each day. We already have some new players coming to Las Vegas just for this contest, so let's show them a good time and keep them coming back for years.
Here are two time slots that are popular right now. Let's fill up multiple leagues in each city on these dates and times:

SOLD OUT: The first ever NFFC $350 Rotowire Online Championship LIVE draft will be held in New York City on Saturday, August 31st at 11 am ET. We now have one full league, but will keep it open on Registration to see if we can get 2 leagues at the same time. We will NOT form this league at this point and if we get 24 signups at this date and time, we'll mix up the two leagues.
But these 12 owners are guaranteed to be in one league if that's all we get. But we have two rooms at Dave & Busters and would love to open the walls and PLAY TWO at the same time!!! Great job everyone and thanks.
