Our first official signup of 2012 is none other than our two-time NFBC overall champ, Lindy Hinkelman of Greencreek, Idaho. You may know him as the most famous pig farmer in the history of fantasy sports, but we know him as a 7-year NFBC veteran who is going to get inducted into the NFBC Hall of Fame in Las Vegas this March. It's an honor he has earned, becoming the only person to win two NFBC overall titles, including last year's $100,000 grand prize. He's the NFBC's Career Money Leader with $360,750 in earnings and he has proven his mettle in just about every format we offer: 15-team drafts, 12-team drafts, online drafts, auctions. He's had an amazing run and we're glad to have the Champ back in 2012.
Lindy will be returning to the Bellagio in Las Vegas the weekend of March 30-April 1 to defend his Main Event title. He's also returning to compete in the debut NFBC XII, the Ultimate Auction League and the NFBC Auction Championship, an even he finished second overall in last year. Amazing.
In 2011, Lindy won four league titles out of seven events he entered. He won Las Vegas League 4 with 138 points (92%) and won the overall title with 3,407.0 points (87.4%). He won Las Vegas Auction League March 25th 9 am with 120.5 points and finished 2nd overall in the Auction Championship. He won the March 8th Online Double Play with 85.5 points and tied for first place in the March 25th 4 pm Live Double Play with 82 points. He finished third in the Las Vegas March 27th Live Double Play with 76.5 points, finished 5th in the Ultimate Auction League with 85.5 points and finished 9th in the $150 Slow Draft League #13 with 74 points.
All I can say is GREAT JOB CHAMP and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize, $5,600 league prize, $40,000 Ultimate Auction League prize, $15,000 Auction Championship prize and $50,000 NFBC XII prize. That should keep you busy, my friend!!
