KJ,

When you state the first 500 of the entry fee will follow the payout of the 500 Sat, it will also include the extra coin for H2H winner and Pts overall too correct? Makes the payback percentage better if that is the case for those worried about such things.

We need enough juice in there to make sure Greg covers all his costs to run the league and party costs for those drafting, I just realized those sat numbers were for a faab league not a DC setup (there is no H2H or separate pts winner, of course). The number we need for Greg is about $2k.

I'll let Greg confirm exactly what the payout will be; I'll propose this, which holds back that amount:
12 teamer:
1st - 2500
2nd -1000
3rd -500

14 teamer
1st - 3000
2nd - 1500
3rd - 500

With the private paying out 100%, that would bring the total league payout to appx 90%, depending on how much bidding there is. If you exclude the food and beverage costs, the payout is around 93-94%.

KJ you just got to the point I thought I was reading into but didn't want to assume. Those drafting have their party costs covered. Guys there are two spots left for you to attend a party, draft for the chance to win money and still achieve all in payout percentages that rival live drafts of 5 to 10 times this 1000 entry fee?!

Let's get to 14 teams, we're mostly all Vets that got attracted to the classic format so as we move towards the 10th anniversary of the NFFC shouldn't this special party draft be a 14 teamer too?

Can you tell I'm excited to do this thing, entire new concept with the bidding for draft spots and all. Sounds like a blast and fourteen teams will make it even more challenging imo...

Kevin - I can loan you a set of chips if you need them
LMK and we can work out a plan to have someone pick them up from me

Thanks Perry, sounds like we've got it covered but maybe bring them along to LV just in case someone forgets.

Also, how about convincing your partner to re-engage now that we've moved to a modified version of your excellent concept ?

[kjduke]

The Kruse's wanted in but couldn't make the start time, so we definitely have at least one opening - preferably we can add 3 more for a better payout.
