Next $150 Slow Draft League Is NOW SOLD OUT!

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Tue May 03, 2011 7:52 am

We're happy to announce our debut Slow Draft Championship where owners can make selections over several days and weeks while competing for league and overall prizes. These are Draft Champions Leagues, 14 teams, 30 rounds, where the computer picks your optimal starting lineup each week for 16 weeks. The Top 3 teams in each league after Week 16 win league prizes and all leagues will be competing for a top overall prize of $3,500. It's great, great fun and great practice before the live drafts.

We've already had a couple of online signups, so we'll start the Slow Draft Signup List here and add to it. We won't start these until the NFFC draft software is completed later this month, but you can secure your spot now and we'll start these drafts shortly. The cost is $150 per team and each team gets 10 hours per pick, which means you won't be tied to your computer during these drafts.

Here's the signup list for our first $150 Slow Draft and with any luck we'll be starting these in a few weeks. Signup online or post your intentions here and we'll get this first league set up. Thanks all.

Hi guys,
I know the draft software is not done but will we be able to import our own ranking lists? If so will we have the ability to have a pending pick section where we can put 3 or 4 players in our preference order to be selected if the clock runs out instead of the STATS LLC's overall ranking system picking the player.
Thanks,
Bob

Bob Hey Bob, thanks for the signup today. We have four owners signed up for that first Slow Draft once we start the season. These owners are delaying the fantasy start more than any software issues. Damn this labor dispute.

Yes, you'll be able to set your own default rankings and then copy them for future NFFC drafts. It's not an import of rankings, rather there is a default list and you just move players up and down as you see fit. Same the list and they will be imported into your draft room.

Yes, you will have a que where the system will make your picks for you. If you put it on auto-pick the system will pick the player who is tops in your que at that time. Easy enough.

Thanks and let's get things resolved soon and the season started NOW!!

Are we waiting on the labor situation to be settled before we start drafting this year?
