2017 Dates
When will dates for the 2017 contests be finalized? Planning my race schedule and want to try and make it to both NYC and Vegas for NFBC
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

Re: 2017 Dates
Sounds good. These dates are definite:MadCow Sez wrote:When will dates for the 2017 contests be finalized? Planning my race schedule and want to try and make it to both NYC and Vegas for NFBC
March 24-26: New York City (talking with the New York Hilton)
March 24-25: Chicago (talking with Sheraton Northbrook)
March 24-26: Las Vegas (Bellagio possible)
March 30-April 2: Las Vegas (Bellagio possible)
Opening Day is Sunday, April 2nd as Major League Baseball has three games that day. We will continue to host live and online that day and Week 1 will again consist of Sunday-Sunday games (8 days). Hope this helps.
Plan accordingly and looking forward to seeing everyone at NFBC XIV.

Re: 2017 Dates
Greg - safe to assume the AL and NL only auctions will be Friday the 31st? Tout Wars is likely the previous weekend (24th-26th).

Re: 2017 Dates
So, the "big" Vegas weekend will be the second weekend?
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Yes. Easter is April 16th this year, so no issues there this year. Second Weekend will be the big one in Las Vegas.Edwards Kings wrote:So, the "big" Vegas weekend will be the second weekend?
