Shawn Johnson of South Carolina is quickly becoming the most feared auction player in the NFBC as he just won his FOURTH NFBC Diamond Auction League title. Shawn has now won the last three NFBC Diamond Auction League titles and four of the last five since this contest originated in 2015. He also won the Las Vegas $2500 Auction Championship league and finished 2nd overall in the NFBC Auction Championship. Just for good measure, Shawn also won the NFBC 12-Team Super League title.

This was an extremely tight race until the final month when Shawn moved into first place and then pulled away. He finished with 122.5 points to finish ahead of Scott Fleming by 9 points. Alan Mitchell finished third in his first season in the NFBC, while Jason Duponte held onto fourth place. The Top 4 teams in the Diamond Auction League earned prize money.
