Zimmerman & Brinkmann Win 2024 12-Team Super Titles

[Greg Ambrosius]

We had two NFBC 12-Team Super Leagues this year and we had familiar faces in the winner's circles of both leagues. Jeff Zimmerman and Kyle Brinkmann each won $18,000 in those leagues after each winning one NFBC 15-Team Super League title and $20,000 as well.

Jeff won the NFBC March 19th 12-Team Super Online League title with 110 points, besting Jason Kufs by 11 points. It was a two-team race for most of the year with Jason winning $6,000 for his runner-up finish. Last year's 12-Team Super League champion, Bob Catsiroumpas, finished third with 75 points to win $2,000

Kyle Brinkmann won the NFBC March 26th 12-Team Super Online League title with 83 points as this was a much closer race. Jason Santeiu finished second with 80 points and Ryan Welborn finished third with 78 points. Jason won $6,000 and Ryan won $2,000.

We started the NFBC 12-Team Super League in Las Vegas in 2013 and then we didn't fill another 12-Team Super League until 2018. Filling up two 12-Team Super Leagues this year shows that this contest will be around for a few more years. Let's PLAY TWO again next year!!!

Jeff Zimmerman became only the second person to win two NFBC 12-Team Super League titles. Shawn Johnson also has won two league titles, winning back-to-back in 2021 and 2022.
