I'd make a decision tomorrow, but I'd say it's 95% a given that this league will not go off as planned.

Sorry folks but those things happen. Tom and I will reach out to all of those owners tomorrow and see if there's another main event or satellite league we could get them in.

Greg,

If this has to be cancelled, would it be possible to try to schedule something else? A Draft Champions or Auction or a lower cost league?

I'm up for anything, 12 or 14 teams, as long as it pays at least Top 3.

Assuming all four of the satellites I have signed up for next week will be cancelled, this will make six events I'll be missing.

Thank you for anything you can do.

You totally read my mind, as I was going to contact Greg about this.

How about a $650 DC AUCTION???

These are VERY popular on fantasyauctioneer.com, except for people often have issues with the site. I can't see any issues LIVE (computer wise, finding help/auctioneer could be an issue), with the exception of that all the participants would have to be in Vegas for a 2:00 PST start (I personally hate auctions where people are patched in by phone, but if we had to....... )

Prize format could be just like the DC, and the rules would be just like online ($208 salary, 26 players, etc.)

Wouldn't have to manage it because it would be a DC AND you get the live auction feel.

I could see this being a GREAT event, but it needs to get filled FAST.

Any opinions on this Greg????

Not to mention, I don't think many were available either Monday and/or Tuesday evening (I know Monday was definitely out for me).

Follow Me [/QUOTE]This is what we did. Assuming the event was a no go we signed up for the NBC Main and a $1300 DC to fill the void. Next year for sure we need to get a Super done!

Unfortunately, I am already signed up for an event in all six of the available time slots.

That is why I would like to schedule something, anything, in this time slot.

Okay, sorry about this but the debut NFFC Super Draft League is officially cancelled. Several of the guys in this league are opting for additional main events and satellite leagues and thus we're moving forward without this event. Sorry everyone, but next year I think we can pull this off.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I wanted to give these 11 owners as much time as possible to make alternative plans. Good luck all.
