Lewis Lipsey of Los Angeles, California has been an NFBC member since 2004 and last year he decided to try our high-stakes football event. Sure enough, he got the 14th pick and had to battle from the back-end of the draft in his first NFFC event. Well, ol' Lewis did pretty well for himself, finishing higher than any other NFFC team last year that didn't have LT as his Tablescraps For Me At 14 team finished seventh overall during the regular season with 1,820.10 points. He earned $2,500 by finishing 8-5 in Las Vegas League 1 and then was second after the first week of the Championship Round for the $100,000 grand prize. Lewis eventually finished 12th in the Championship Round with 554.16 points, but it was a great, great debut run. Nice job Lewis and I'm glad to see you're coming back for the main event at the Flamingo Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Welcome back and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

We're glad to welcome back another original member of the NFFC family who unfortunately couldn't make it to our main event last year. Jay O'Neill of Temecula, California competed in the NFFC in 2004 and 2005, but last year he travelled with his son to a national hockey tournament and couldn't make it to the main event. We're happy to report that his son's hockey career is taking off well and a college career is on the horizon for this season. Jay, on the other hand, has aspirations of winning our grand prize and will be joining us again at the Flamingo Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Welcome back Jay and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Joseph is a veteran fantasy football high-stakes veteran as he was a WCOFF member the last few years, but this year he's moving over to the NFFC for a number of reasons.

It's great to see so many new members coming to the NFFC this early in the off-season and I'm happy to welcome another one today. Ron Cameron of Lake Elsinore, California came to the event with Jay O'Neill two years ago and worked as a draft facilitator, but this year he's grabbing his own team in the main event at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Ron is excited about the competition and looks forward to the live draft. Welcome aboard Ron and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and $5,000 league prize.
