Jason Weir Wins 2024 NFBC Online Auction Championship

[Greg Ambrosius]

Jason Weir of Celina, Texas won our fourth annual NFBC Online Auction Championship as he topped a record field of 960 teams to win the record $12,500 grand prize. This was the fourth straight year that this contest reached its max total of teams as we increased our grand prize another $2,500 this year. Can we top 1,000 teams in 2025? We will find out soon!!

Jason competed in four Online Auction Championship leagues this year and won two league titles, while finishing 1st, 58th and 98th overall. His March 2nd, 3 pm ET $150 OLAC team won the national championship as it finished with 138.5 points to dominate that league. He then won the overall title with 8,642.5 points, earning 90.02 percent of all available points. He finished 172.5 points ahead of Derek Ishler in the overall competition as Derek earned $3,100 for his runner-up finish. Rounding out the Top 5 were Sean Graham ($2,000), Darren Matusen ($1,750) and Danny Ballard ($1,500). We paid the Top 20 overall finishers, while the Top 3 teams in each league earned prize money.

The 40-year-old champion got Rafael Devers for $28, Gunnar Henderson for $23, Jackson Chourio for $11, Jarren Duran for $12, Anthony Santander for $10, Chris Sale for $14 and Freddy Peralta for $24. Besides winning two OLAC league titles, Jason also won six NFBC $150 Draft Champions league titles and a $125 Satellite League title. Great job Jason.

This contest has great potential as the last four years have shown and we will try to make it even bigger and better in 2025. Stay tuned for more details on the 2025 NFBC Online Auction Championship and be ready for an early start to the auction season. Thanks all and congrats to all of the league and overall prize winners.
