NFFC Magazine Auction League

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 3:47 am

Okay, I'd still like to do an NFFC Auction League for our second issue of Fantasy Sports Magazine and the 14 owners from past seasons get first invite to this year's contest. But I don't have a draft software to host this on right now. FantasyAuctioneer.com is down for the year and CBS Sportsline won't have their auction site up and running until July. I heard that ESPN.com and MyFantasyLeague.com have auction software, but I've never used either one.

Someone let me know if they have any experience with those and we'll see if we can set something up for the week of June 23rd. We'd have to transfer the draft results over to our NFFC game site, but I think we can do that. For now, let's get the auction set up, organized and set up somewhere that can host this fine group.

Any suggestions out there?

Last year's league consisted of:
Greg Ambrosius
Tom Kessenich
Billy Wasosky
Mark Moyer
Rob Benetti
Patrick Welsh
Matthew Bayley
Marc Quitsch
Matthew Bauler
Jeff Clampitt
Johnny Frisella
Lance Turbes
Jules McLean
Jim Wiseheart

First dibs there, but I'm sure we'll have at least one opening here and maybe more. We want NFFC members who plan on being in an auction league this year with us. Thanks all.

I'd do it but I don't know that I'll be doing a live auction.

I've done this draft before, 2 years ago.

Greg:

I'll step in and take a spot if you need the help.

I plan on taking part in an Auction, just trying to see if it will be in LV on NYC.

Greg, I've done a few auctions on ESPN and it worked better than fantasyauctioneer. The software is easy to use and doesn't have any problems at all. If you want, I think you can either test it or at least join a mock auction.

Greg, you know you can count me in...

Only problem is, I can only do the draft on a Saturday or Sunday....I wouldn't care if it were 6AM EST or 11PM EST, I'd do it, if you guys could swing it on a weekend. In all honesty, these drafts tend to take a long time and a weekend night would be ideal, so noone is up late with work the next day. And if something does go wrong with the site, noone will have to go because it's getting too late.

I'll keep checking the boards. I'm absolutely in if you guys could do it on a Saturday or Sunday. I don't get home weeknights until after 12AM.

Marc
