Shawn Johnson Wins 2022 NFBC Diamond Auction & $75,000

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Sat Oct 08, 2022 8:41 am

For the fifth time in the seven-year history of the contest, Shawn Johnson of Myrtle Beaach, South Carolina has won the NFBC Diamond Auction League and the $75,000 grand prize. Shawn has now won five of the last six Diamond Auction League titles against some of the very best players in the NFBC and he is now the most successful auction player in NFBC history.

Shawn had another tremendous year as he also won the NFBC Ultimate Auction League title, the NFBC's only 12-Team Super League title and he won a $400 Draft Champions league title while finishing 19th overall in the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship. He managed only six teams this year, but he cashed in five of them and won four league titles. Oh, he finished second in the New York $2500 Auction Championship League, just for good measure.

Shawn was in the Top 2 of the league standings right from the start of the season and held the lead from the end of August through the end of the season after briefly falling into second place in late August. He finished 8.5 points ahead of Andy Robinson, who earned $35,000 for his runner-up finish, while Nickolaus Sackett finished third to earn $20,000. The team of Nick Cassavetes and Chris Hill finished fourth to earn $10,000.

Here were the final standings:
