Remember that we are hosting a Welcome Reception on Friday night, Sept. 3rd at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. Even though the Auction League will be held at the same time, we'll make sure those participants get their fair share of the drink tickets, food and goodies. We may have a special guest speaker in Las Vegas as well (we had Marty Barrett for baseball) and will have an experts Q&A panel too. Should be good fun and it will give you a chance to see exactly where you'll be sitting at the draft table the next day and meet some of your league participants.
We found out with baseball that it was tougher for people in New York and Chicago to get to the Welcome Receptions on Friday night, especially in Manhattan. So we are having morning Welcome Receptions in those cities on Saturday, Sept. 4th with breakfast goodies and guest speakers. More details on those coming soon. But the drafts start at 1 p.m. in New York and noon in Chicago, which is after cocktail hour, so we'll still have drink tickets for everyone.
Plus we'll keep the fun going after each draft in all three cities and allow everyone time to move around and check out all the other draft boards. Thanks again to MVP Sportsbook.com for sponsoring the Welcome Receptions, which is sure to get our weekend of fun going in the right direction.
