The New NFBC Site Is Live & Registration Is Open!!

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Fri Nov 17, 2017 11:26 am

Today we kick off the 2018 NFBC season, our 15th season of operation. We couldn't be prouder to kick this one off with our new web site, our new draft room and our new slate of online and live contests. Come join the best fantasy baseball season-long contest in the industry and win some big money!!

Here we go. Let's get started with the first drafts today. Please bookmark our new site:

https://playnfbc.sportshubtech.com/

If you type in playnfbc.com it will take you there as well.

Front and center on the new web site is a picture of the Aria Las Vegas. We are still locking down event space in Las Vegas and talking with the Aria and the Bellagio with contracts not signed yet, but we are getting closer. More details to come on Las Vegas First Weekend and Second Weekend soon, so don't lock down your hotels just yet. But the schedules are definitely locked in: March 16-18 in Las Vegas, New York and Chicago, and March 22-27 in Las Vegas.

You can also see a box with the upcoming drafts you can enter along with a button that says Today's Drafts. We want signup to be as simple as possible, so you'll be able to find our next Draft Champions Leagues there. Click on the Today's Drafts button and it will take you to our Contest Lobby where we'll be active in the Live Chat Roll. You'll soon become addicted to that Countdown Lobby as it lists the openings for each contest. :lol: Tom, myself and Darik will be very active in the Live Chat as you'll have instant access to us daily.

Click on any of the contest links and you'll get access to the Prize Grid, Rules and Schedule of Events.

Click on the Navigation Bar in the top and you'll have access to My Teams, Message Boards, Contests, Cities and More. It's all there.

More importantly, IT'S TIME TO DRAFT!!

Draft Champions Leagues are NOW OPEN!! The first NFBC $150 Draft Champions League will start one hour after it fills and they will be 4 hours per pick. Please set your KDS preferences shortly after you sign up and look for the draft order 15 minutes after it fills. The last person to sign up has 15 minutes to set their KDS preferences. You can do your KDS from any device, including your iPhone. You can also draft from your phone as easily as you can from a desktop. The draft room expands to any device.

Come join us for a new baseball season. We're confident that you'll like what you see. Thanks all and best of luck in all your leagues this season.

Thx Greg. It's been hard waiting but I've been entertaining myself taking guys $$ in those weekly H2H NFFC contests. Trying to fund this years Leagues without touching my wallet

It looks like there are two "my teams" drop-downs. The 2nd takes you to your team.

Maybe try refreshing Dan or use Google Chrome or Firefox. I just logged into your account clicked My Teams and your 2018 team is there.

If you can't see your team make sure you are logging into playnfbc.com. Do not use the old site.

DCs - heard about the 8hr break on Twitter, but dont see it detailed in the rules of DC. Has this night break taken effect for this 2018 draft season?

Yes, the clock won't continue from 1 am ET to 9 am ET, but everyone can still make picks during that time. That allowed us to go to 4 hours per pick during the day. Enjoy.

It is set up now to allow you to add a co-manager once the league fills at no charge, but we'll look into changing that setup. We'll have an update shortly.
