What Was The Best Draft Spot In 2006?

We still have two weeks left in the NFBC season and it looks like most of the league titles are going to go right down to the last day of the season. But by looking at the data from the 24 NFBC drafts in 2006 -- the 22 main event leagues and the two Ultimate League drafts -- it's obvious that no sin...

Can Anyone Win Three Straight NFBC Titles?

Only four NFBC owners won league titles during the first two seasons of the main event: Shawn Childs, Stephen Jupinka, Clark Olson and Joe Thelen. One of those owners is currently tied for first place again in 2007, while one other owner is in third place. It looks like at best we'll have one owner ...

Week 25 Drops

We'll let all of these cuts ride, even though one team in the New York AL Auction League is cutting four top starting pitchers to ensure his pitching points and a potential second place finish! Those four starters will remain in the free agent pool for the final week of the season. Good luck everyon...

Ultimate League Battles

Im interested. what do you have in mind Greg? Some of the guys who drafted in Ultimate League 1 in Las Vegas inquired to see if I would do a higher league in 2007. I've always said, I'll offer whatever you guys want. Anyone for $7,500 with a higher percentage payout?

Wow, the battle for the $40,000 league prizes in the three Ultimate Leagues is definitely going down to the wire. There is a tie for first place in Ultimate League 1, a half point difference in the Ultimate Auction League and a one point difference in Ultimate League 2. Considering the difference is...

NFBC Plans For 2007

We will have all four cities locked in by the end of the month and open the Registration page after the 2006 MLB season. I've looked into many options in New York City, the surrounding area and even Atlantic City and I still think our best option is the Javits Center. We're closing in on that, but I...

Yes, there are a lot of worthy candidates, but even the top spot is up for grabs. And with Alex Rodriguez sliding a b...
