Wow, with two weeks left in the NFBC season, ONE POINT is the difference between our first and second overall teams. That's amazing and the closest we've been this late in the season since 2004 when Artie Rastelli and Aaron Seefeldt were TIED two days before the end of the season.
Right now Kevin Kirves and Bobby Jurney are battling for the $100,000 grand prize with several other teams still in the hunt for the grand prize and the other Top 10 overall prizes. In case you're not in the main event and still want to follow things, here's a look at the overall standings as we head down the stretch. Good luck all.

There should be a prize for top player drafting in LV. With 8 of the top 9 drafting elsewhere it's never been more evident that LV is the toughest place to win from. Nice going Kelly.

Kelly must have been in a no-talent, all-blab, weak arse league.

It's also time to give kudos to two industry writers who have cracked our Top 20 this week. It's always good to see industry writers compete in the NFBC and put their reputations on the line against all of our other competitors and this year two sites are reaping the rewards.
The Fanball.com team of Ray Flowers & Ryan Houston are 17th overall with 2,899.5 points and the CREATiVESPORTS.com team of Scott Zeidman is 18th overall with 2,895.5 points. Great job guys.

Greg - Out of curiosity, the "prize" page shows 11 overall prizes. Your post references the top 10 prizes. The 11th place steam overall still wins $1300 or a free entry, correct?
Thanks in advance - Pete

Is there a photo of the crystal trophy anywhere? Does it have, like, a little guy working a laptop on top of it?

You can see Terry Haney holding the crystal trophy on the home page photo rotation. It's a dandy.
