Zachary Waxman Wins 2021 NFBC Online Auction Championship

[Greg Ambrosius]

The first year of the NFBC Online Auction Championship was a huge success as we finished with 32 leagues and 480 teams, higher than expected. And the winner of our first annual NFBC Online Auction Championship and the $5,000 league prize was Zachary Waxman of Ancaster, Ontario.

Zach won his March 27th $150 Online Auction Championship league in dominating fashion as he finished with 141.5 points (94.33%) and he won the overall title with 4,357.5 points (90.79%). Zach moved into first place in late August and never looked back, finishing 90.5 points ahead of James Gabal with Andrew Feinberg, Brian Jenner and Graig Crawford rounding out the Top 5. The Top 15 spots earned prize money in the overall competition with the Top 3 teams in each league earning prize money.

This contest was a huge success and it will return in 2022 bigger and better. Look for more details after the World Series.
