No other industry web site sends their writers into high-stakes contests more vigorously than CreativeSports.com and once again Lawr Michaels is sending his writers into the NFFC fires in 2006. Lawr sponsored four writers in our National Fantasy Baseball Championship this spring and he's again sponsoring four writers in our NFFC main event this year. Kudos to you Lawr and to your site.

Let's give it up for three CreativeSports.com writers who will be competing in New York on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Lori Rubinson returns for her second season of NFFC competition. Last year her Lori At CreativeSports team tied for the New York League 2 title with a 10-3 record, but she lost out on total points as her team finished 98th overall with 1,592.55 points. She went from possibly winning $5,000 to placing fourth in her league based on points, a tough break. I've competed against Lori in several leagues and she will be tough to beat once again in New York. Welcome back Lori.

Brian Walton of New Milford, Connecticut returns for a third season and this time he's expecting a money finish. His CreativeSports Walton team finished 6-7 in New York League 1 last year, totalling 1,313.45 points. Welcome back Brian and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Marc Meltzer, who is currently competing in the NFBC out of Tampa, will also make the trek from Jupiter, Florida to the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 2nd for the main event. Marc is excelling in our baseball event and he's happy to wear the CreativeSports.com uniform for the first time in our football event. JP Kastner will be the lone CS representative in Chicago as he joins our competition for the first time at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott on Saturday, Sept. 2nd.

Welcome aboard to all CreativeSports.com competitors and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prizes. Oh, and feel free to go to their web site for a free draft kit this year.

Hiya Greg,

Do you have an accurate figure of how many signups we had exactly at this point LAST YEAR ?

I am rooting for the 350 and wanna see if 174 more to go is doable!

Best of luck,

David
