Surprise Coming At 8:30 ET For Ultimate & Super League Draft Spots

We have picked the draft spots for the Ultimate and Super leagues but we're not going to unveil them just yet.

Why?

Because we have a very special surprise in store for those owners. We not only picked the draft spots already but we filmed the selection process. That's right, Greg and myself were live on camera as we randomly picked the order and then assigned the KDS preferences to each pick in both leagues. It was a lot of fun to do and we're going to post the links in this thread when our video crew here at Fanball has everything ready.

So at some point this afternoon, you'll not only get to see the draft spots but how Greg and I selected them to form the leagues. It should be very cool.

Stay tuned.

Thanks guys I'm fired up :D Correct. And it will finally be this visual of how KDS is processed and implemented. It's all there on video and both leagues have been videotaped as it happened. We'll post both links here.

We'll also post the KDS listings for both leagues here and the average KDS preference received. It worked well again for almost all owners and that's what we like to see at these price levels.

Enjoy and sorry for the delay, but it should be pretty cool to view.

Any ETA yet?
Just wondering if I should keep standing on my head :confused: Or relax for a bit :eek:

Is this video format going to be in place for the rest of the live events?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love it :D

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love it :D They felt they could make this live by the end of the work day. We're not trying to tease folks, but we wanted folks to know what the delay was for. We think it will be a nice addition to the site so that folks can actually see how the KDS is run.

Don't stand on your head any longer. It won't help speed things up here. :D

No, we'll be back in Wisconsin tomorrow and making the picks for the other live events from there without any cameras. I guess you'll just have to trust Tom and I on those!!
