The new signups keep coming in as we welcome Chris Beuncamino of Brooklyn, New York to the NFFC's main event at the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Chris is good friends with new NFFC member Anthony Maresca, who was recommended by Joe Amato. See, word-of-mouth advertising is the best form of advertising I can buy!

Anyway, Chris is excited to be competing with us in New York and we'll take good care of him. Welcome aboard Chris and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Mark Koester of Gaines, Michigan becomes our 20th owner in the Chicago Auction League as he is jumping into that event for the first time. Mark competed in the main event last year, leading his Juggernauts team to a 7-6 record with a wild finish as it had 1,526.2 points. Mark is excited about the auction league and will join us at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott on Friday, Sept. 1st. Welcome back Mark and best of luck in the hunt for the $4,000+ in league prizes.

I'm glad to welcome another new team to the growing NFFC family as three owners are comprising this latest team. Let's give it up for the trio of Brett Hajek, Bobby Hajek and Matt Hale of Longmont, Colorado as they have signed up to compete in the NFFC's main event at the Stardust Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Brett said that they've watched the NFFC grow over the last two years and finally decided it was time to join us for the big dance. Welcome aboard guys and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

It's always good to welcome back an original member of the NFFC family and someone who was with us for both baseball and football since we started. In fact, this guy is one of the few who has competed in just about every single live event we've offered. Let's give it up for Todd Zola of Framingham, Massachusetts as he will be joining us in Las Vegas this year for the trifecta. Todd has signed up for the main event, he's become our 23rd team in Las Vegas for the $650 Draft Champions League and he's willing to grab a $1,250 or $650 auction league team if there's enough interest to go beyond two leagues in Las Vegas. Welcome back for all three events Todd and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize, $5,000 league prize, $4,250 in Draft Champions League prizes and $4,000+ in auction league prizes.

Todd, who is a long-time writer with Mastersball.com and now www.fantasybaseball.com, did the NFFC trifecta in New York last year and admits he had too many Patriots on his teams!

The Whizzinators finished 6-7 in New York League 7 of the main event, his Donny Bakers Discount Gas finished 5-8 in the NY Auction League and his Team To Be Named Later finished eighth in the Draft Champions League. This year, it's time to cash out those tickets in the Trifecta! Thanks again Todd and good luck in Las Vegas.

We're glad to welcome back our 147th team from 2005 to the 2006 main event as the tag team of Barry Harcus and Jim Bennett of Scottsdale will be returning to Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Barry and Jim have been in the NFFC all three years and last year their CanAm Bombers battled injuries to finish 4-9 in Las Vegas League 7 with 1,351.65 points. CanAm Bombers then finished 116th in the Consolation Round with 460.47 points. I just talked with Barry and he's fired up to come up to Las Vegas again and compete for the grand prize. Welcome back guys and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

I'm glad to welcome back an original member of the NFFC family and my co-owner in our floundering LABR League teams as John Zaleski of Ultimate Fantasy Sports and Mission Viejo, California will be joining us again in Las Vegas for the NFFC's main event. John has run fantasy games for 20+ years and he's always been a good help whenever I discuss rule changes or anything else. Last year he competed in Las Vegas League 1 and his LeonIsGettingLarger team finished 7-6 and placed 184th overall with 1,487.2 points. He will likely be an auctioneer in Las Vegas and eventually I'll talk him into competing in the Draft Champions League!

Welcome back John and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Wow, what a great day for NFFC signups. We're glad to welcome back another original member of the NFFC family as Gil Molski of Stevens Point, Wisconsin (just 25 miles down the road from our offices) has signed up for the NFFC's main event at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Gil actually signed up in mid July with his friend Bill Opiola, but I missed it. We have things squared away now and Gil is good to go for the main event. Last year his gilbillys finished 7-6 in Chicago League 2, placing 176th with 1,500.65 points. Gillbillys then finished 110th in the Consolation Round with 462.79 points. Welcome back Gil and root on those Packers this year. Oh, and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

The hits keep coming as we welcome yet another new team to the quickly growing NFFC family. Let's give it up for the tag team of Dennis Rielly of Charlotte, North Carolina and his buddy Thomas Macaluso. This duo just signed up for the main event at the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 2nd as we're closing in on our 16th full league overall and our seventh in New York. This is the first time Dennis and Thomas will be at our live draft and we promise to show them a great time. Welcome aboard guys and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.
