Greg Quoted
"When we started the NFFC in 2004, the idea of having multiple draft dates and times for the main event was unheard of and would not have been accepted initially by our players. I even felt that having one draft date and the same draft start in all time zones was essential to the success of the contest."
It was indicated that the early Main League Draft Results would be sealed and not available to all contestants.
There is NO QUESTION that there is a huge inequity here as the participants in these drafts will know the results from these drafts while everyone else does not.
I did not view the entire field but noticed a typical "Snake Move" aka GK that has switched to the early draft for primetime (Signed originally for Normal Date)
Of course he kept his Normal Classic Date as his second draft a few days later looking to gain a competitive edge.
Now we can mock, but this is NOTHING compared to a Draft that has 100K on the line.
It is my contention that while this was a good idea to facilitate players that could not compete over the Labor Day Weekend...it should not be used as a means to gain a competitive edge on the field by drafting in the Early Main Event then also drafting in the Normal Main Event a few days later.
I formally request that either the early Main Event results are posted for all to see or that anyone drafting in the Early Main Event be BANNED from drafting in the Normal Main Event.
Again, the Early Main Event was put out for players that could not compete over Labor Day Weekend...not for Manipulation by Players that want to Draft Both.
