Since that contest doesn't have online options, how are they putting him in a league already with a draft spot?? Don't assume. [/QUOTE]Glenn, I know you have more inside information with them than I do, so okay, they're adding online options. Wouldn't it be prudent to know how many of your rollover customers will be drafting online and how many are live so that you have the right number of 1s, 2s, 3s, etc.?? Excuse me, but I see all 300+ rollovers being thrown together and expecting honest random draft slots, right? But what happens if too many of the 1s haven't agreed to come to Las Vegas?? Oh, I know, change draft spots somehow behind the curtain. Please.

And did I just see Pete -- who I like a lot and respect -- just say "Christmas, Yahoo!!!" on those boards? Christmas Morning???? Oh my. [/QUOTE]Greg... sarcastic post on my end... As for online, what they have offered a couple of years now is the abiity to have someone from wcoff enter your draft while you are online. We are all sitting on the edeg of our seats... [/QUOTE]That might be expanded a bit Pete.

[/QUOTE]I believe Glenn would have posted on here or any of the other boards if he knew this was totally fabricated. I also don't think he would have posted what he did above if he knew this was totally fabricated. Sorry to put words in your mouth Glenn, but you have been privvy to all of this info and you nor Dustin are denying any of this right now.

At the very least, it's halted the draft pick show.

Unless I'm misinterpreting the post, based on what I just saw on their boards it appears that the plan will be to pay everyone in full who is owed less than $2,000 at the closing of a transaction. Sounds like this plan may be for those owed more than 2K.

Of course, there's no way to know when this "transaction" will be closed or if it ever will be closed. Is this the same one that was promised to occur in April?

Yes Tom but i am sure that Dustin will provide a yearly update as to how the transaction is coming.

Who is going to run this game if they go forward? Has that been said anywhere? After all, you need a web site to run a high-stakes contest. Who is doing it for them?

I would have to say that while the 2010 winners are probably screwed, Jill did state that the 2011 entries were being escrowed. If in fact those funds were not escrowed, and entries relied upon that statement, then there are probably criminal and civil charges that could be brought against the WCoff, Dustin and Jill.

Making a statement that folks will be paid in cash if they want it should be followed with a date of when that will happen. Announcing that now gives people little time to leave that mess and play somewhere else unless a date of payment is given. Stating when the transaction (whatever the hell that is) is done after failing to post for 120+ days on the other transactions that fell through leaves players with little hope of it happening anytime soon. If at all.

I'm sure those owed more than $2,000 are real happy. Time to see the details.
