Speaking of poker players, Greg, is Moneymaker coming back? Nope. It's an understatement to say he struggled last year and he's no longer associated with the company who sponsored him. We'd love to have him back, but no go for 2006.

We've had a good run on Chicago signups today as we continue to work on our sixth league for the main event there. We're glad to welcome back another original member of the NFFC family as Michael Ratajczyk of Lansing, Michigan will head to the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott for the first time. Michael has competed in Las Vegas the last two years and his Beaverhunters team tied for the Las Vegas League 5 title with a 10-3 record, but lost the tie-breaker on total points and finished third to win $500. His 1,733.65 points were 30th overall, which means he missed a wild card spot by just two spots. Great season, Michael, and better luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

We're glad to welcome back Aaron Seefeldt of Northbrook, Illinois to the NFFC's main event as it took a little arm twisting to get him back for a third season. Aaron is already signed up for the NFFC Auction League in Chicago, but he wasn't sure he could swing the main event until recently. Last year he led his Double Dippin on Sundays team to a 7-6 record in Chicago League and placed 61st overall with 1,644.95 points, missing a league money finish by just 1.35 points. He was the points leader in that league until Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb went down and out, but Aaron is hoping for better fortune this year. Welcome back Aaron and best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Jim Ferrari of San Diego, California becomes our 12th owner to sign up for the $1,250 Auction League in Las Vegas on Friday, Sept. 2nd as he just cleared his schedule for this event. Jim led Team Ferrari to a solid season last year in Las Vegas Auction League 1, but it failed to result in any prize money. Team Ferrari went 8-5 and finished second in total points with 1,738, just missing first place by 5 points. Team Ferrari received a first round bye, but lost in Weeks 15 and 16 in the playoffs. This year Jim is ready to capture the $8,000+ in league prizes and we welcome him to this debut event.

That's 12 for this event and I have at least one other owner interested in the $1,250 Auction League. We'll definitely get this one filled, so plan on these 12 owners plus two more in this league. Thanks everyone.
