Mike Goodrich Wins 2022 NFFC Online Auction Championship

[Greg Ambrosius]

Mike Goodrich of Springville, Maine joined the NFFC Online Auction Championship for the very first time this year and he walked away with the overall title and the $10,000 grand prize. Mike first joined the NFFC in 2021 when he played in two satellite leagues and this year he took just one entry: A $150 Online Auction Championship team. He competed in the last Online Auction League of the season on Friday, September 9th at 9 pm ET and proceeded to win the league title and the overall title.

Well done Mike. Well done.

The grand prize for the 2022 NFFC Online Auction Championship grew from $5,000 last year to $10,000 this year as we finished with a record 720 teams consisting of 60 leagues. Mike finished 20.14 points ahead of Jason Steeves for the title with Mike Meadows finishing third. All three teams had no players in the Monday Night Game that was cancelled by the NFL on Friday morning. However, Jeff Clampitt finished fourth as he was 36.32 points out of the lead with Joe Burrow going in the Monday Night Game. He certainly had a legitimate shot at the title if not for the Damar Hamlin injury and the NFL cancelling that game outright.

Mike won his league title as he finished with the best h2h record (10-4) and most points (2,005.05). He was 86th in points after the regular season and moved all the way up to third place after scoring 192.20 points in Week 15. His team scored 169.30 points to remain in third place after Week 16, but vaulted into the lead and won the title with 169.30 points in Week 17. It's unfortunate the way the season ended with the cancellation of the final game, but kudos to Mike for a strong, consistent performance in the Championship Round.

We paid the Top 15 teams in the Championship Round and will definitely expand the prizes again in 2023 as this contest maxed out with entries for the second straight year. We apparently are underestimating the demand for online auction leagues. Jason Steeves won $3,000 for his runner-up finish, while Mike Meadows earned $2,500 for third place and Jeff Clampitt earned $1,500 for fourth place. We had a total of 149 teams in the Championship Round this year.

Mike was led in Week 17 by Patrick Mahomes's 34.80 points, while Austin Ekeler also added 32.10 points. Also contributing in the title games were DJ Moore with 23.70 points and AJ Brown with 19.70 points.

Congrats to Mike Goodrich, who I think will take more teams in 2023 than just the one!! Great job everyone and congrats to everyone who won prize money this year.
