[Tom Kessenich]

The seventh annual National Fantasy Football Championship will host live drafts for the main event on Saturday, Sept. 4th at Trackside Arlington Park in Chicago, Illinois.This is the off-track betting site on the back-stretch of Arlington Park. These drafts will start promptly at noon CST and consist of four leagues of 14 teams each. Everyone should be in the draft room at least 20 minutes beforehand as we will start EXACTLY at noon. There will be one break after round 10 and we’ll finish after the 19th round. Lunch will be served starting at 2 pm and we’ll bring all of the draft boards together in one spot for everyone to enjoy with food and drink. Good luck everyone.

Remember that this year we will again have 3RR (Third Round Reversal) in the main event. That means we’ll start out 1-14 in Round 1, 14-1 in Round 2 and 14-1 again in Round 3. Serpentine continues in Round 4 as 1-14, 14-1, etc. through Round 19.
