[Greg Ambrosius]

Wayne Ellis of Evansville, Indiana became our first two-time winner of a contest when he won the 2015 NFFC Draft Champions National Championship and the $20,000 grand prize. Wayne also won the NFFC Draft Champions National Championship in 2011 when we combined the live event DCs. This year we had a record 1,704 teams in this contest, consisting of 142 leagues. Great job Wayne.

Ellis had a winning total of 3,211.60 points to edge David Hubbard by 41.9 points for the title. Thomas Wagner finished third, just 5.70 points behind Hubbard. Congrats to all of the prize winners in this year's Draft Champions leagues.
