Okay, back to the signups again as I'm falling behind and not showing all of the daily signups. Just for the record, with 100 days until NFFC Draft Day we have over 100 teams signed up for the main event and ready to go. More to come, for sure.

Let's welcome back another original member of the NFFC family as Chad Silverstein of Columbus, Ohio will be returning to Las Vegas for the NFFC's main event and the Ultimate Draft League. Chad will be joined by co-manager Steve Wise this year as he returns to the Flamingo Las Vegas.

His Silverwise team finished 6-7 last year in the Ultimate League and just missed the playoffs with 1,511.75 points. Welcome back Chad and best of luck in the hunt for the $37,500 Ultimate League prize, the $5,000 league prize in the main event and the $100,000 grand prize.
