It's good to welcome another original member of the NFFC family back for 2007 as Dave Clum of Pembroke Pines, Florida will be returning to the main event for the fourth straight year. Dave has drafted in Chicago the last three years and has also been an original member of our NFBC event, but this year he's staying closer to home and drafting in the $650 Draft Champions League at the Tampa Convention Center on Friday, Aug. 31st and again in Tampa for the main event on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Last year, Dave won $2,500 as he led his Ground Rats team to a second place finish in a very balanced Chicago League 3. The Ground Rats finished 8-5, one game out of first place, and finished 77th overall with 1,639.65 points, just 0.20 points behind the league leader. In the Championship Round, the Ground Rats finished 46th overall with 462.23 points. Great job Dave and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize, the $5,000 league prize and the $4,250 Draft Champions League prize.

We're honored to welcome back our runner-up finishers from 2006 as the tag team of David Lichtman and David Fisher of Smithtown, New Jersey will be joining us for the NFFC's main event again in 2007. The pair has drafted in New York the last three years, but they're moving the caravan to Las Vegas this year and planning a pre-event party at a suite in Vegas for the most serious NFFC die-hards!! I trust I might have to trapse over there and test the liquid refreshments beforehand for the safety of my customers!!

Last year, David and David led FISHER to a second place finish in New York League 9 out of the 12th draft spot to earn $2,500, finishing 7-6 during the regular season and 21st overall with 1,755.85 points. FISHER then got hot in the Championship Round and finished second behind Rob Benetti with 621.12 points to earn an additional $15,000. Great job guys and it should be a blast having you in Las Vegas. Oh, and best of luck once again in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Many of the original members of our NFFC family were among our earliest signups for 2007 and it's good to welcome them all right away. Among that group is Alex Kaganovsky of New York City, who will claim home field advantage for the fourth straight year in the main event at the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Nag led his Strictly Business team to a 6-7 record in New York League 3 last year, placing 225th overall with 1,490.55 points. Welcome back Alex and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and $5,000 league prize.

We always like it when the husband and wife compete in the NFFC, but we like it twice as much when they take separate teams!!

We're glad to welcome back Calvin and Madeline Suer of Metairie, Louisiana to the NFFC's main event for the second straight year as they will once again be drafting at the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Cal joined the NFFC in 2005 and won a league title despite missing the draft because of Hurricane Katrina. He had his daughter help out and now it's become a family gathering each year in the Big Apple. Last year, Cal's Team Suer team finished 8-5 in New York League 5 with 1,563.75 points. Madeline also led her team suer squad to an 8-5 record n New York League 1, placing 206th with 1,513 points and then placing 52nd in the Consolation Round with 626.49 points. We're glad to have both of you back for separate teams in the main event and we wish both of you best of luck in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prizes.

Ronald Eltanol of Glen Ellyn, Illinois joined the NFFC for the first time last year and had a great run at the grand prize, finishing seventh overall. He led his Billsville Trojans team to an 8-5 record in the highly competitive Chicago League 2, but didn't win any money despite finishing 31st overall with 1,727.80 points. That was only good enough for fourth place in Chicago 2, but the Trojans got on a roll in the Championship Round and finished seventh overall with 578.71 points. Wow, what a wild season. Great job Ron and welcome back to the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott for this year's main event. Oh, and best of luck once again for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.
