We're working hard on getting two Ultimate Leagues this year and the momentum keeps going as today there were two signups for the Ultimate Draft League. The first one came from Greg Paley and Pat Depirro of Chappaqua, New York as they are entering the NFFC for the first time. Both have been successful in our NFBC competition and it's good to have him in our big event for football. Welcome aboard guys and best of luck in the hunt for the $37,500 in prizes here.

We now have 16 full leagues or 224 teams -- the same amount we debuted with in 2004. We hit the magic mark with the return of NFFC veteran Neil Hassett Jr., who has decided to draft in the main event this year at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Neil has competed in New York the last two years, but this year he's going to Las Vegas with co-manager Mike Hall. Last year, his BALLS DEEP team had no luck in the h2h matchups as it went 4-9 in New York League 5, but it just missed a money finish by 3.10 points as it placed a very strong 97th overall with 1,617.25 points. BALLS DEEP then placed 21st in the Consolation Round for a solid finish. Welcome back guys and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.
