NFBC Message Boards

CONGRATULATIONS to the team of Jeff Dobies of Farmingville, New York and Andy Saxton of Bear, Delaware as they won the NFBC Auction Championship title and the $15,000 grand prize. Jeff also won the 2010 NFBC Auction Championship, so he's our first 2-time winner in this format. GREAT, GREAT JOB GUYS!!

Jeff and Andy decided to team up for this Auction Championship before the season after years of getting to know each other at the live events. Jeff was very busy and Andy was very eager to join the Auction format and the timing just seemed right to form a team. They moved into the overall lead in May and never left the top spot, although Donald Warner sure came close a few times in September. But at the end of the day, Jeff and Andy led their ALL IN Saxton team to a first place finish in the New York April 1st 1 pm League with 132.5 points (88.33 percent of available points) and 1,181.0 points in the overall race (87.48 percent of available points). GREAT JOB.

Also CONGRATS to Donald Warner as he won the April 1st Las Vegas Auction League and finished 2nd overall, 72.5 points behind ALL IN. He gave it everything he had during the final weeks, but just couldn't catch the leaders. Great season Don. Also rounding out the Top 5 were Anson Chan, Ross Longood and Matthew Shepherd. Congrats to all of our league winners and to all owners who cashed in 2012.

Don,
You made us extremely nervous. Trout/Cabrera were just unreal for you. Congrats on a great season.......and all the other money winners.

Thanks Greg. It's nice when a plan comes together but most of all it helps when most of your key players can find a way to stay on the field every day! Already looking to next year and trying to make it three out of four!!

Jeff

Dobies and Saxton - well done ! I think Saxton should move closer to you Jeff so you guys can collaborate on more of these contests. Time to expand beyond just the Auction ! Main, satellites, Supers... 50-50 ! You guys combined are unbeatable

You need a bigger shovel Q!!!

BTW, congrats on your ridiculous season, again!

delaware is sales tax free.....you guys should move towards me!

Congratulations Jeff and Andy. Two of the best players in these events and two of the best guys I've gotten to know over the years in this contest. I was rooting for you guys. Jeff, way to bring another championship to our hometown!

Well done, guys -- congrats!

The Ultimate Auction league participants are EAGERLY awaiting your 2013 entry.

Glenn,

Is that Entry or Donation????

King,
Let us sip some champagne before reinvesting our money into a losing cause:)
