We're on pace for three auction leagues in Las Vegas this year as the signups are well ahead of last year's pace. Our latest returnee for the $650 Auction League at the Flamingo in Las Vegas on Friday, Aug. 31st is John Barkow of Hartland, Wisconsin, who was among our first main event league signups. John had extremely tough luck in the Las Vegas $650 Auction League last year as his MASS DESTRUCTION team earned the third seed with a 7-6 record and 1,809.1 points, only to lose in the first round of the playoffs. We wish you better luck this year John and good luck in the hunt for the $4,000+ in auction league prizes.
