NFFC Adds Throwback Draft Champions League

[Greg Ambrosius]

Greg, like Andy said this will definitely work in NYC as well. Always liked the idea of a draft like this

If the two of you are pushing it then it will definitely sell out. Let's do it.

We are going to cut off an hour between the Classic and Primetime on Saturday in each city this year, so NYC will be 1 pm and 5 pm ET. You could do the Throwback DC at 8 pm or earlier and be done in no time. We could do it Saturday night if that works or any other day. Just work with Tom on all of this, but I think this could be a lot of fun. Thanks for the feedback guys.

It's good to see you add this event, I played all the years the other guys use to run it. I will say, not a huge fan of the dradft being in a private room, less on an event. I always enjoyed having a crowd watch at the beginning.

I trust the folks in the suite will stick around for the beginning and then some. Love the idea of an event, but let's get this off the ground with 12 owners first. Then we can find the ballroom for the audience.

I would be down for a Saturday night throwback in NYC......or if you have problems filling an auction Friday afternoon...you could do it then too. (Auction or Throwback, Primetime, Super triple header)

Sounds like Chris, Billy and I would do it for sure in nyc. 750 price point sounds fine. Would need to have a basket to drop our cell phones in as well. Lol

Only question is do you do it Saturday night or friday afternoon or potentially both?

I prefer to keep the Friday venue (auction, Primetime (or Classic ), and Super) intact if possible.

Just doing the numbers, if everyone took the maximum time (and they may in a draft like this), you are looking at a 5+ hour draft. I would suggest cutting the time to select a player down to 30 seconds (that is what the FFPC did, and it worked fine). That would make this about a 2.5 hour draft at most.

If that was the case, couldn't we squeeze this in on Saturday morning around 9:30? That would still give everyone a little time before the Classic at 1:00.

Just a thought.

I like the idea of that Saturday tripleheader with classic at 1,prime at 5, and this new event at 8. We should leave Friday as is with our Super league scheduled that night

[76erfan]

yeah you guys are right

NYC Friday
Auction 2
Primetime 6
Super 8

NYC Saturday
Classic 1
Primetime 5
Throwback 730 or 8

There will be people that would do all 6 I am sure.

Awesome weekend.
