Looks like FBGs owns this and it is really impressive from what I have seen so far.

I have signed up, thanks for the promo code Slick Willie

When do we draft for this thing, and do we have to join a group?

You pick your own draft slot and you draft against "experts". I assume they are drafting based on their projections and ADP. You draft whenever you want

Thanks. Probably best to wait until closer to the season starts. Knowing my luck, half my team will get hurt before.

I'd urge everyone to get on this, if only for the shot at easy money. In my current draft Moss and Slaton went back to back......at 17 and 18.....btw this is PPR.

 

[Mike]

Guys, for those who have tried this recently, where is Randy Moss going in your drafts? I think I'll try this soon, and I'm considering building around Moss. Would pick 10 get him or is he going earlier than 10 most of the time? Thanks.

I see Truman's post from Aug 4 where Moss went 17th. That is pretty nice value. Might actually go WR-WR here if that is the case.

Reading the fine print on the website it seems to indicate that special promotions like this do not qualify you for the grand prize.

Is this "go4it" promotion code included in that list? Or, as the OP states, this code enables you to be eligible for the $250K?

Thanks.

Good question, I'd like to know as well before I spend time on a draft.

We have a teaming deal with Rapid Draft. I am pretty certain this promotion is good for the full prize (but I could be mistaken there). I have sent Jeff Thomas an email to come and post in this thread tomorrow. We will be sending an email out on Friday that also talks to this promo code

Thanks, DD. I would still participate either way but just wanted to clarify in the unlikely event that I reach a point of being in contention for a prize.

 

[Riflemen]

On another popular ff site this question was already asked and you are 100% eligible for the 250k by using the free code. Only 1 free code per person though.

Here's my squad that I drafted on the 19th. It takes around an hour to an hour and a half. Take my advice don't take a D earlier than the 12th round I learned the hard way.

Hey fguys - this go4it code is 100% prize eligible. So go for it!Actually - the easiest way to get the free team is to go to this footballguys page - we streamlined the process by automatically entering the code for you.

A couple of notes. It might surprise you, but sometimes consumers don't follow the rules. Our goal is to run a great competition and to protect everyone that plays by the rules.

Some suggestions:

- use a valid email address that you own (or you are disqualified)

- use your real name on the account (the name on the account gets the check)

- one account per person (or all teams are disqualified)

- each person may do a maximum of five drafts per draft spot

- watch Caitlin's videos or review the Rules and FAQs (for those of you that don't like video)

If you draft at Warp Speed, the draft takes approximately 35 minutes. At Warp - you get 30 seconds, the experts get 5 seconds.

Our gift to you is one free draft per person. Good luck and enjoy. David and Joe think that one of you guys is going to win. Now it's your job to back up their smack talk.

Questions - email assistant@worldfantasygames.com

Cheers!

 

[David Dodds]

I will also add that they play using WCOFF rules (1 PPR), start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE and a flex. This is the perfect way to practice drafting for your favorite high stakes contests.

 

[RapidDraft]

I tried to draft, but the site crashed

Once everyone tries RapidDraft, they'll see that is very much like a poker room setting... with even better graphics. Local "client" connections sometimes are not fast enough (in the client-server game design). There is a "Reconnect" message that sometimes comes up on RapidDraft, just like you see in poker rooms. This typically means that you have temporarily lost connection via the Internet. Clicking on the Reconnect button attempts to re-establish your connection. This doesn't happen often, but it does happen.A large database back-up ran yesterday during the time of your draft (around 8pm), so it was actually our servers causing Reconnects for awhile yesterday, but all is back to normal. If it actually crashed, please send the details and we will make sure you can complete your free draft. We haven't seen crashes other than with very unique hardware/software situations or back in May when the product was launched.Any questions at all, don't hesitate to email assistant@worldfantasygames.comThanks

Does FBG have a group set up to join ?

 

[JAA]

I apologize for posting this, but Ive been to the website twice, each time trying to setup my team. Each time its crashed my machine (hard lock up). Im assuming its the flash being used. Im visiting in Google Chrome.

good luck

TD's for QB's? 4 or 6?

4 points of QB TDs I believe. You may want to consult the full rules.

While mine was not as severe as yours, I can't get it to work either. When I click submit for my information, nothing happens, I'm using IE8 right now.I've had no luck, I'll try again later, maybe the traffic will be down.

 

[ericttspikes]

love the idea. not too rapid right now. servers must be swamped. Suggestion, place "reconnect" button somewhere else besides over the draft board. Draft continues while that thing is up for some reason and you can't see the board. Some bugs to work out, but nice idea.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo]

Hope you guys have better luck than I am, site is running slower than molasses- finally got the draft room up but now the screen on the top says there are delays connecting to the server.

Total garbage flash interface. Glad I didn't pay for my entry, looks like I'm gonna have an autopick team.

 

[TheFanatic]

I keep getting:

RapidDraft is experiencing delays in connecting to the server. Click the button below to attempt to reconnect.

First pick by the program was Forte

I made my pick with this thing up. Just clicked on the player at the edge and hit the yellow draft button. But yeah, the word Rapid seems inappropriate right now

 

[ericttspikes]

I'd rather have less bells and whistles with the 3D drafters, room, etc. and have this be faster. I get that this is a test, but the servers are SLOW, and I'm drafting blind. This is a good test to see if FF is luck or skill, cuz I'm lost on this thing. I'll get what I get.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

My draft never loaded. I just had a blank window. When I finally closed the window and tried to start again, I got a notification that the draft was already in progress.

Oh well, got what I paid for I guess.

[ericttspikes]

Anyone considering this I'd wait. I wish I did. Not ready for prime time.

 

[TheFanatic]

Yeah, this thing is the suck. It used to have the players listed behind the stupid reconnect message, which if you ignore it, the draft continues but the players behind it are gone now. The placement of the error message was pure stupidity. I'm guessing there is a web designer getting his ### chewed right now...

 

[two_dollars]

Just tried it right now.. not sitting through 20 rounds with a reconnect message directly over all the player names. It was unbearably slow. Closed it down before my 2nd pick even came up. can't even get to the home page right now.

Too bad, I would have really liked to participate.

 

[ericttspikes]

I can honestly say that in 30 years of playing FF I've never drafted blind before.....

 

[TheFanatic]

what happens if we quit the draft? Is our shot at the free signup gone?

 

[jimmy b]

Thanks for the effort Footballguys, but that's an hour of my life i'll never get back...

 

[two_dollars]

Seems that way. Sucks

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Anyone who hasn't tried this yet but wants too should take the time to order all their player rankings before starting. I did actually end up with picks I like in the first 3 rounds because I ordered about 25 players at the top.

I have absolutely no control over what I'm gonna get in the rest of the draft though.

 

[BroadwayG]

May want to replace the C-64 hosting the site with a C-128.

 

[CrossEyed]

Think I'll wait for a while before trying this.

 

[TheFanatic]

Housh went as the first pick in the 3rd. Right after I picked Colston. Then it locked up before I could grab another player and it selected Addai for me. I like Addai but not in the 3rd. I shut it off. Shoulda called the site RapidSuck

 

[Qtip Callahan]

Yes that was a waste of time unfortunately. Mine was rocking along with consistent disconnects at about 30 minutes/round.

 

[ericttspikes]

On the bright side, I can get a ton of work done between picks.....

 

[TWP]

I emailed them and they, obviously, will reset your draft and let you pick again if you got the same connection problems I got. Yes, it's free, but if you care, just use the 'contact us' link at the bottom right of their site and they will get back to you quickly.

 

[David Dodds]

Ok it seems me sending out this promotion to the 87,000 on our mailing list crashed their servers. For those that halted during the drafts, just send an email to assistant@worldfantasygames.com and they will reset this for you. They just added a bunch of servers yesterday to handle the new loads, but maybe they weren't aware of the power of our email list. This offer is good until Labor Day. It might be wise to wait a bit until all of the other FBGs draft here before taking part.

 

[TWP]

You can't wait, because they are going to have learning algorithms that adjust when they take people based on their ADP in RD leagues. So you need to get the value now before all the FBG folks screw it up for the rest of us.

On a Friday afternoon no less. The most productive time of the week LOLI may try Monday AM.

I wouldn't say they'll get back to you quickly.. I've been waiting almost 30 minutes and don't expect a response for a while. They are going to have a LOT of people to get back to!
