2009 NFFC/NBC Dates and Locations?

do you have a breakdown by state of the '08 participants for the NFFC and WCOFF main events. i'm sure vegas attracts from all over and the other sites attract mainly regionally. i've said previously in a thread that the southeast is probably going to be the weakest draw for fantasy football because of the love of college football. i don't know if you've ever tried texas or not, but i have a feeling it would be like florida. it seems to me somewhere in between would make sense, which is NO, which is very risky. you have to accomadate the florida players, and somehow get more participation from the rest of the southeast. IMO, if you decide to try another site OUTSIDE the state of florida, the atlanta area makes sense. it just might bring in players from areas you haven't had before.

bill Yes we do have a state-by-state breakdown of all of our players and no Texas is not among the biggest. That's the concern. In baseball, Florida was our fifth best state so we chose to stay in Orlando for another year because it was big enough to show that leaving there would be a mistake. Florida isn't that big for football and some Floridians still come to other venues to draft, so it makes it tougher to stay there for the NFFC. That's why I'm not convinced that moving to Miami will change anything, although a draft on south Beach would be fun. :D

I'm not sure what we'll finish with, but I appreciate all of the input. Keep it coming.

I can say that H2H is up to 16 leagues here in Dallas. They have a much cheaper entry fee but the interest is definately there. Dallas is their only city of 4 remaining.

Greg/Tom, If you hold the events in a city that has a casino, and I can drive there from Staten Island, sign me up for both live $650 Auctions right now.

Just a heads up about Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun...There is MUCH less chance of anyone getting a "comp" room there. Atlantic City is much easier to work a room if you convince them you're coming to spend a little money. Rooms in Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, I belive, are about the same as in Manhattan.

Greg, I'm not writing this to cloud your mind or make you go crazy with too much information...Just throwing more facts into the ring of conversation.
