Ron Householder Wins 2021 NFFC 14-Team Ultimate & $44,000

[Greg Ambrosius]

Ronald Householder of Huntington Beach, California really wanted to compete in an NFFC 12-Team Ultimate League this year, but when those two leagues were already full he opted to compete in the 14-Team Ultimate League. He actually thought about leaving this league after signing up because he wasn't as comfortable with the 14-team format as the 12-team format, but once the league was full he decided to stick in it.

Good thing he did because he dominated this league in 2021.

Ron won the entire $44,000 prize by winning the regular season's h2h and points titles for $10,000, and then he had the top team in the Championship Round to win the remaining $34,000. He earned a bye into Week 17, but he scored 185.30 points this week to easily win the title. Ron finished 76.21 points ahead of Scott Waggener with Michael Edelman finishing third. Scott was also competing in the NFFC 14-Team Ultimate League for the first time and he won $12,000, while Michael won $6,000. Mike Santos won the Consolation Round to win $1,000.
