We are now less than 3 weeks away from our 2024 NFFC Live Events at Park MGM in Las Vegas and everything is falling into place nicely. Seven of the nine scheduled events on First Weekend Las Vegas are already sold out and we're going to fill those last two events before I leave for Las Vegas two weeks from Wednesday.

If you need to see the Las Vegas Weekend 1 Schedule of Events, it's listed here:

https://nfc.shgn.com/venue/131

If you still need a room at Park MGM, our room block discounted prices are good through Thursday, August 15th here:

https://book.passkey.com/event/50692257 ... 23455/home

So here's the Schedule of Events and spots remaining if you still want to get into an event August 30th or 31st:

Friday, August 30th:
10 am - $1500 Auction League (SOLD OUT)
10 am - $1300 Best Ball Live League (SOLD OUT)
2 pm - $1500 Auction League (SOLD OUT)
2 pm - $1300 Best Ball Live League (SOLD OUT)
5 pm - NFFC Primetime League (SOLD OUT)

Saturday, August 31st:
10 am - NFFC Primetime League (SOLD OUT)
1 pm - NFFC Primetime League (5 Spots Left)
1 pm - NFFC Classic League (SOLD OUT)
4 pm - Silver Bullet League (SOLD OUT)

If you're in Las Vegas and have any interest in the Friday or Saturday Primetime leagues, sign up online or contact me and we'll secure you a spot. If we can't fill those two leagues completely Live, then we'll take volunteers who would draft Online with us. It's like being there but without me buying you a good meal and multiple beers!!! Contact me at [email protected] if interested.

All of the Live Events will be in Kensington ballrooms 2 and 3 at Park MGM. That is on the first floor of the Park MGM Convention Center, around the left corner. They are the same ballrooms that we were in last year for the NFFC at Park MGM.

I know we'll fill all of these Live Events and I look forward to seeing everyone soon. I'll be around on Thursday night if anyone is around for beers in Las Vegas. Get your travel secured, your hotel rooms secured, your Cheat Sheets updated and then I'll see you in Las Vegas. Can't wait to kick off the Live Events. Stay well and let's go!!!

A week from today I'll be flying to Las Vegas for the First Weekend of Live Events!!! Can't wait to see everyone again over both weekends.

First Weekend Las Vegas is shaping up as a fun, fun weekend as we already have eight of the nine leagues full. Look for all of those draft spots and nomination spots 5 days before your scheduled events, which means on Sunday and Monday.

The only league we have openings for is the Saturday, August 31st Primetime at 1 pm PT. We have a full Primetime at 10 am PT and a full Classic league at 1 pm, but we still have 5 SPOTS LEFT in the 1 pm PT league. The Silver Bullet League at 4 pm is also full.

So we just have some openings at that time and might need a hookup with some Online drafters. If you have interest in joining us for this league and still can't make it to Las Vegas, we'll find a home for you Online. And if you can still make it to Las Vegas, we'll REALLY find you a home at the draft table. At this point, we have to plan for a combination of Live and Online, so contact me if you have interest.

We're going to fill it, but unfortunately we have to get creative with this one. Thanks all and again contact me if you have interest or you can move a current entry to Las Vegas Primetime 8/31, 1 pm PT and I'll know what is going on. Enjoy.

Okay, NFFC Las Vegas First Weekend was a HUGE success as we had nine drafts and auctions over two days with a FANTASTIC group of people. Everyone had fun, the food was excellent, the drinks flowed and the camaraderie was off the charts!!! So good!!

Now as Bill Belichick would say "We're Onto Las Vegas Second Weekend!"

And we have a great Second Weekend planned. All contests on Wednesday are sold out, but we have a few openings during the last three days. Here's what's left and if you have ANY interest in adding one more contest please sign up online or contact me ASAP. As soon as these final leagues are full, we will create leagues and pull draft spots. Thanks all.

Here's what is available right now:

Thursday, September 5th:
5 Spots Left - 10 am PT, $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live
3 Spots Left - 2 pm PT, $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live
12 Spots Left - 9 pm PT Primetime League if anyone wants to draft after the game

Friday, September 6th:
1 SPOT LEFT - 1 pm PT Primetime League
3 Spots Left - 1 pm PT Silver Bullet League
4 Spots Left - 4 pm PT Primetime League
6 Spots Left - 9 pm PT Primetime League (after the game)
1 SPOT LEFT - 7 pm PT $1500 Auction League
2 Spots Left - $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live

Saturday, September 7th:
1 SPOT LEFT - 10 am Primetime League
4 Spots Left - 1 pm Silver Bullet League
9 Spots Left - $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live
6 Spots Left - 7 pm Primetime League

I really want to fill every one of these leagues with live drafters in Las Vegas, but if we have to add a couple of Online drafters to fill these leagues we will. Please sign up online soon or let me know if you have any interest and I'll make sure you get into the league you want. Let's do this.

And we started the $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live leagues to give you something else to do inbetween drafts or to allow some first-time drafters to try a live draft for the first time at only $350. If we don't fill these, we'll move on. But I think they are good opportunities for people to draft live in Las Vegas at a fair price and to experience the live events. We will wait as long as possible to fill these and if we fill them the day of the draft then we'll do it for that contest. Thanks and plan accordingly.

Here we go!!! Let's sell all of these out soon. Thanks all and I'll see most of you in Las Vegas soon.

Okay, let's update the available dance card in Las Vegas this weekend. Here's what we have left if you're still planning to come to Las Vegas or want to do one more league:

Thursday, September 5th:
4 Spots Left - 10 am PT, $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live
3 Spots Left - 2 pm PT, $350 Rotowire Online Championship Live

8 Spots Left - 7 pm Primetime League

Just 2 SPOTS LEFT now in the Friday 1 pm PT NFFC Silver Bullet league at Park MGM. I'd love to fill that one up soon and get draft spots to everyone. Also ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT in the Saturday, 1 pm PT NFFC Silver Bullet league. Again, we'll take Online folks if needed to fill these second leagues up at each time, but I think there's still some folks who are already in Las Vegas who need their ONE SHOT at the $50,000 grand prize at that time. Who's ready to jump in?

Okay, keep the signups coming everyone and let's fill all of these final leagues as fast as possible. We'll get them all filled, so plan accordingly. Thanks and good luck.

NOW ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT in the Las Vegas Primetime League on Friday, September 6th at 1 pm PT. Is there one more in Las Vegas who wants to fill this league up and compete for the $250,000 grand prize? I know you're out there!!!
