Frank Greenidge Wins 2022 NFFC Draft Champions & $30,000

[Greg Ambrosius]

Frank Greenidge of Holbrook, Massachusetts won the 2022 NFFC Best Ball Draft Champions National Championship and the $30,000 grand prize. Frank took only two entries in the NFFC this year and both of them were $150 Draft Champions teams. Well, he turned one of them into an $800 league prize and that team also won the $30,000 grand prize. Not a bad $300 investment, wouldn't you say?

The cancellation of the Monday Night Game had no effect on the Top 20 payouts as no team inside the Top 25 spots had any Bills or Bengals players on their rosters. Frank finished 25.20 points ahead of Andy Saxton for the title with Andy winning $6,000. Rounding out the Top 5 were Adam Mignano ($5,000), Kevin Wheeler ($4,000) and Alexander Resch ($3,000). We paid the Top 20 teams overall and the Top 3 teams in each league.

We had a record 3,072 teams in our Best Ball Draft Champions National Championship consisting of 256 leagues. Frank drafted his team starting on August 16th and rode it all the way to the top spot. This was a best ball contest through 17 weeks with no free agent pickups.

Frank's team cracked the Top 5 after Week 10 and moved into first place in Week 11. He kept that spot until Week 16 when he dropped to second place behind Adam Mignano. But Frank's team posted 206.70 points in Week 17 to take the title.

Great job everyone and we will back with this contest next year with even bigger prizes. We're expecting another record year for this format in 2023.

Here's the top 100 teams overall for this national championship:
