NFBC Message Boards

Rookie question. You show up at the appointed time and what happens at the Vegas auction. Are any materials distributed? Are the current rosters, remaining money and available players displayed or you have to rely on your notes? Other considerations?

You will get a player eligibility list and a roster form for your team, everything else you think you need will be up to you to bring with you.

There will be a draft board with the players drafted and the amount paid for them,plus a running total of money left for each team. But you should also keep track yourself as the money totals are hard to see during the draft.

There will not be a player avaliablity list displayed. You have to keep track of players taken or not.

Be as prepared as possible, thing will start moving at a good pace, with breaks around the end of 10 and 20 round, then a brake after everyone has finished 23 round before the snake draft star

Hope this helps.. Roy

IMHO, the pace will be the key difference between the NFBC and a local league. The auctioneers are EXCELLENT, but there is none of this "Gimme a minute!" while someone flips through a magazine. They generally keep a very quick but steady cadence after a player is announced several times. "Going once....going twice....SOLD!" There is a few seconds for everyone to update their lists, then they move very efficiently on to the next owner to toss out a name.

Concise lists with values has worked for me so I do not feel like I am getting behind.

thanks for the 411 fellas. Figure there's no reason to show up an have any surprises. Tough enough to be a rookie without having a "duh" moment.
