I believe Kay is going to be heading to Chicago. That's the tentative plan at the moment. Man....choosing to go to Chicago is turning out to be a great decision!

Ponies, casinos, great food, good people, beautiful women....eat your heart out Vegas, NY, and the others!!!

Okay, the two Super Leagues are now set in stone and awaiting the video feed for all to see. Both leagues worked very well. Four owners in each Super League that will be unveiled tomorrow morning got their No. 1 preference. You'll see it all tomorrow and Tom will post the draft spots once the video is live.

Thanks all and this is starting to get a lot of fun for all of us here. Great stuff. Greg...when you say the "two Super Leagues", do you mean the Non-Vegas Super league being played on Sunday and the Super league being played on Monday? The Vegas Super is already posted.

Thanks.

I didn't have time to post the two Super league data when I was in St. Louis, but I'll post it here to make sure everyone sees how these leagues played out. Here's the KDS preferences for the Monday, Sept. 6th Super League and a little analysis:

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

** The average KDS received for this league was 4.5, which is pretty good.

** Four owners received their No. 1 preference. One received his second preference and one received his third preference (6 of 14 in Top 3).

** Interestingly, only two owners received a preference out of their Top 7: 10 and 13. That was bound to happen though as most owners stayed away from the middle spots.

Here was the draft order for this league and the preferred spots they received:

1. Josh Blumenreich (1st preference)
2. Billy Wasosky (1st preference)
3. Rich Dunn (4th preference)
4. Mark Moyer (1st preference)
5. Glenn Schroter (6th preference)
6. Jeff Weeks (6th preference)
7. Steve Lucinski (4th preference)
8. Neil Hassett Jr. (13th preference)
9. Joe Miller (4th preference)
10. Josh Kott (10th preference)
11. Josh Egal (7th preference)
12. Paul Clein (3rd preference)
13. Travis Minaker (2nd preference)
14. Christopher Cosley (1st preference)

Thoughts?

Okay, let's look at the KDS preferences and how they worked out in the Sunday, Sept. 5th Mixed Super League that will be held at 5 pm ET:

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

** The average KDS preference received for this league was 4.2, which is VERY GOOD.

** Four owners received their 1st preference. Two owners received their 2nd preference and three owners received their 3rd preference, so 9 of 14 owners got a Top 3 preference (64%).

** Only three owners got a choice outside their Top 7: 8, 10 and 13. Again, that's going to happen because so many owners this year are avoiding the middle spots.

Here's the draft order for this league and the preferred spot they received:

1. Avi Weisfogel (1st preference)
2. Billy Wu (2nd preference)
3. Mike Berkich (3rd preference)
4. Aaron Smith (4th preference)
5. Josh Blumenreich (2nd preference)
6. Chad Schroeder (3rd preference)
7. Mike Ferre (7th preference)
8. Joseph Jefferson (13th preference)
9. Glenn Karant (1st preference)
10. Glenn Schroter (10th preference)
11. David Zwickel (8th preference)
12. Christopher Vaccaro (1st preference)
13. Brian Humphrey (3rd preference)
14. Paul Clein (1st preference)

Thoughts?

The one thing I like about KDS this year is that so many owners are really putting a lot of time and thought into their choices. For all of these Super, Ultimate and Diamond Leagues, you'd have one or two owners who stuck with 1-14, whereas in years past it might be 4 or 5. I'm not saying 1-14 is bad, but you can see owners really putting thought into where they want to draft now and most are getting what they want.

I hope the same thing happens for the Classic and Primetime main events. I know it's happening already in the NFFC Online Championship, but let's keep it going and put some time and thought into your KDS preferences for all leagues. We WANT you to get a draft spot you like.

The Ultimate League worked out as well as any high-dollar league we've done in the past. 13 of 14 owners in that league got a Top 6 preference, which is pretty amazing. Here is the listing of KDS preferences for that one followed by some analysis:

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

** The average KDS received in this league was 4.1, which is VERY GOOD.

** Three owners got their 1st preference. One owner got their 2nd preference and three owners got their 3rd preference. So half of the field got a Top 3 preference.

** 13 of 14 owners got a Top 6 preference with the highest preference being 11. That seems to be happening with the 7 spot this year.

Here's the draft order along with their preference received:

1. Jonathan Lueth (1st preference)
2. Avi Weisfogel (2nd preference)
3. Glenn Schroter (3rd preference)
4. Mark Moyer (1st preference)
5. Asa Alexander (4th preference)
6. Chad Schroeder (3rd preference)
7. Jules McLean (11th preference)
8. Matt Bund (3rd preference)
9. Paul Clein (6th preference)
10. Joe Berg (6th preference)
11. Brian Zeid (5th preference)
12. Joseph Jefferson (6th preference)
13. Peter Berall (6th preference)
14. Chris Schinker (1st preference)
