Glenn Schroter Wins 2022 NFBC Platinum & $120,000

[Greg Ambrosius]

Glenn Schroter of Whitestone, New York won the 2022 NFBC Platinum League and the $120,000 league prize in what was an incredibly tough battle this year. This is always one of the toughest leagues in the NFBC, but seven teams were within 16 points of the top spot with Glenn winning the title by just 3.5 points.

This is the 8th year of the NFBC Platinum and the first time that Glenn has won this title. He finished 2nd in 2021 behind Andy Robinson, but this time he finished on top to win the largest league prize we have in the NFBC.

Glenn won the title with 108 points, while Jim Ferrari finished second with 104.5 points to win $60,000. Matthew Shepherd finished third with 102 points to earn $24,000 and Rob Silver finished fourth with 96.5 points to earn $10,000. Three teams were within 4.5 points of that final money spot.

Cost of entry for this league is $15,000.

It's been a wild month for Glenn as he was inducted into the NFFC Hall of Fame in Las Vegas on September 10th. Here's the writeup of that achievement:

A master class in FAAB & in-season management which I witnessed first hand by Glenn in the Super as well. Always love looking back on the winning team’s FAAB acquisitions. Congratulations Glenn on a great season.
