This ought to be good. I'm on the road today, but if this is posted on YouTube I can watch from my phone.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube...TK n' Greg on the cutting edge!

greg - this sounds really cool. it would be great for main event draft slots too!!! you'd have hundreds of people GLUED to every name you pull out of the hat!! These private leagues were easy to do the way we had it set up because we only had 14 names to pull from for each league. We could change the process slightly for main events with 80+ names and still videocast the live announcement of random picks and the KDS process. I think folks would like that.

At the very least, you are correct, a live videocast of the ANNOUNCEMENT of the picks from the Fanball offices seems much closer today than it ever did. And we'd be ALL FOR THAT!!

Let's move in that direction.

It will be posted on YouTube. We're going to have an NFFC YouTube page as well. In addition to the Ultimate and Super Draft Selection Show (hey, I like the sound of that

), we'll also have interviews that were done with Greg and myself.

I believe Fanball will put this on an NFFC YouTube video. We want this process to virally be sent around. Two leagues with almost $90,000 in prize money having their draft spots selected on video and the KDS process working in seconds is kind of unique. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.

Greg, this year's Ultimate League represents the biggest collection of career fantasy football winnings of any single league in history. Earlier I threw out a $500,000 combined earnings figure. In all probability, that figure is closer to $750,000.

Big money on the line here, folks!

Big money on the line here, folks! That is an amazing figure and when we talked about that group we quickly got well over $500,000 in a hurry. I agree, this is going to be a GREAT league.

We had a dinner meeting at Pujols' Restaurant last night and Brian is right on with his thoughts about what we're going to do for our top players in the future. We need to start promoting folks like some of you guys in this league who have won hundreds of thousands of dollars in fantasy football and have shown a consistency of winning. We're going to do that real soon and I know everyone here is going to like what we have planned in that regard. Stay tuned.

I want to show the KDS preferences for these two leagues here and then we'll dive into the KDS results shortly after this. Here we go:

NFFC Ultimate League KDS preferences:

1,2,14,13,12,11,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
1,2,3,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,7,6,5,4
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
1,7,8,9,6,5,4,10,3,2,11,12,13,14
4,5,6,3,7,8,9,10,2,1,11,12,13,14
12,13,11,10,9,8,6,3,2,7,4,5,14,1
13,14,12,11,3,2,1,10,9,8,7,6,5,4
10,11,12,9,13,14,8,7,1,6,2,3,5,4
1,2,6,7,8,13,14,12,11,10,9,3,4,5
14,13,12,11,1,2,3,10,9,8,7,6,4,5
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
13,14,6,8,9,5,7,12,11,10,3,1,2,4

Here's the analysis for the selections received after KDS:

** KDS was exactly 3.0, which means each owner on average got their third preference.

** Four owners got their first preference, two owners got their second preference and four owners got their third preference. That's 10 of 14 owners getting their Top 3 preference. The other owners got preferences of 4,4,5 and 9.

The process worked very well, which you will see soon.

Good luck all.

i was iniatially aginst KDS years ago, because some unlucky bastard could get his 14th preference and be competing against others getting their 3rd preference on average. that could still happen, but KDS works for most owners and I like it. huge part of the draft day strategy.
