We now have 16 full leagues for the main event and six full leagues in Las Vegas!! With 224 teams in the main event, we've matched the final total that we had in Year One, 2004, and we still have 24 days of signups to go. Let's cruise past last year's total of 280 teams soon and head towards 350 so that we can get the draft spots announced.

Our latest signup is another new member to the NFFC family who comes recommended by long-time NFFC veteran Randy Barbour. Let's give it up for Tom Foster of Bel Air, Maryland, who will be drafting in the NFFC's main event at the Stardust Resort & Casino on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. This is Tom's first venture at our live drafts and we promise to get him in a league filled with fantasy football fanatics! Welcome aboard Tom and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

We welcome back our 152nd team from last season to this year's main event as the tag team of Lee Pollak of Pikesville, Maryland and John Katz will be joining us at the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Lee and John are original members of the NFFC family who competed in Las Vegas last year and Lee would LOVE to go back there again, but it's tough to get away during Labor Day weekend. Last year the duo led their We Pity Da Fool team to a 6-7 record in Las Vegas League 5, placing 179th overall with 1,492.1 points. We Pity Da Fools then placed 90th in the Consolation Round with 474.03 points. We'll gladly take you guys in New York this year, so best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize. See ya there.
