Not sure I would wear a superbowl ring if I won one of these fantasy football games Grin  What is wrong with a miniature Vince Lombardi trophy Cool

Hiya, found it, but seems there are only 3ish people involved at the moment. I would be interested though once it picks up a bit

Hi Grrrrrowl, I queried that too with Noel, as I need to book a hotel.  Apparently there are 6 probables so far with quote a few of his regular players yet to confirm either way.

How far would you have to travel?

I live in Surrey (although more towards central London) so location is not a problem for me
Report HowieTheRookie. July 16, 2014 7:12 PM BST
Hi grrrrrowl - looks like another couple of people have added their interest in this live draft.  Have you told Noel whether you're in yet?  I'm booking my hotel this weekend so hoping to arrive in Surrey on the Saturday morning on 30th August

Hi,

Chris and I (Is Vic there and BigTest Icicles) are very interested in doing a co-owner team (2 managers for 1 team)is this allowed? Also has it been decided what time the draft will be as we are hoping to make a day of it and go to Sandown races earlier in the day.

Let me know

thanks

Alan

Yes it is allowed, the system also allows for you to co-manage the team
Report HowieTheRookie. August 12, 2014 7:15 PM BST
Hope you join, please let your interest known on the NFLUK website.  It would be great to have other 'Betfair people' at the draft.  Draft is 3pm but I'm sure the guys wouldn't mind delaying (3pm does seem a little early)

Thanks for replying. I have posted on the NFLUK forum, it all depends on the time for us. Would love to be there!
Report grrrrrowl August 12, 2014 9:31 PM BST
I would change my vote to later in the day to accommodate more players. I actually don't care what time it starts cos I live nearby :p
Report HowieTheRookie. August 12, 2014 9:36 PM BST
Sounds good, any chance you could skip the last race and try to arrive at 5:30pm?  I'm sure all the guys wouldn't mind putting it back until then,
Report Bad Beat Histack August 12, 2014 9:45 PM BST
Yes can't see that being an issue. We're definitely up for it
Report Bad Beat Histack August 12, 2014 11:00 PM BST
Thanks both appreciated, lets hope the others agree.
Report HowieTheRookie. August 13, 2014 8:13 AM BST
Looks like they want to start earlier :(

Sandown is racing on Friday too so perhaps you could do both if you can take Friday off work and stay over?
Report Bad Beat Histack August 13, 2014 1:30 PM BST
Yes looks like it, I will have a chat with Chris and see what he wants to do.
Report HowieTheRookie. August 14, 2014 9:37 PM BST
Weheey, you're in, that's 3(4) of us from the Betfair forum.  Only 3 spots left, this is going to be a great fantasy game
Report Bad Beat Histack August 14, 2014 11:01 PM BST
Yeah really looking forward to it. Maybe we can get some more takers from here that would be good.
Report HowieTheRookie. August 15, 2014 8:21 PM BST
Only one spot left if any Betfarians are thinking of joining

Great day yesterday at the Live draft.  Good to me a few guys from the Betfair forum (Simon & Alan).

Totally recommend  this format if any others I thinking of taking part next season.
Report Bad Beat Histack August 31, 2014 10:14 PM BST
Absolutely loved the live draft. Great fun. CJ (Chris) who was my co manager posts on this forum as well. Great to meet the two of you.

Definitely up for doing it again next year.
