Hi, Greg.

When are we going to fire up some slow drafts for football? It may be a bit early, but I'd be interested in joining once you get them going.

Thanks.
Scott

I don't know if slow drafts are possible now that MDC is owned by another entity. All of our slow drafts for NFBC in the past have been done on MDC. I hope this doesn't mean the end of this gameplay option as I really enjoyed it for NFBC.

Last year we started the slow drafts in May. It's definitely not too early.

Scott Yes, we will be able to do Slow Drafts starting in early July. We are building our own draft software for all of the pay online leagues and our own mock draft software and that will be done shortly. Our hope is to unveil everything the week of July 6th.

The Slow Drafts are a great way to get folks drafting early in the season, competing against fellow NFFC members and testing out the 3RR in our 14-team formats. We hope to offer those soon. Sorry for the delay this year, but as mentioned before thing are changing in the industry and we just have to build and own everything ourselves. That's what we're doing now and it should be done soon.

We'll crank this season up with drafts after the Fourth of July!! :D

I really liked the 375 DM where the top 3 finishers got a seat in the next years classic,and want to be first to sign up if you guys do one.I realize you want to fill the online championship,and i understand your point there,but if you do this DM,i am IN.

Dependent upon when these drafts are offered, what Tom described is something I would be interested in as well.

Enjoy your 4th everyone.

Scott I'm flying to St. Louis on Tuesday to see everything and finalize the back-end with IT. I'll post an update shortly. Thanks for your patience all.

Yeah, that $375 Slow Draft filled fast last year and three teams earned free entries into the NFFC Classic this year. That was a good season prep and a good prize package. I'll let you know if we can do that again shortly. It's time to get the season underway, right? Thanks for your patience all.
