McDonald, Gabal & Zimmerman/Krieger Win 2025 15-Team Super Titles

[Greg Ambrosius]

We had three stand-alone private NFBC 15-Team Super Leagues once again in 2025 and we had four different winners for those leagues. How is that possible, you say? Well, one of the Super leagues ended in a tie!!!

Dave McDonald and James Gabal each won $20,000 for their Super League titles. Jeff Zimmerman and Kevin Krieger each won $10,000 as they split the title in the Las Vegas/Online March 25th Super League. We paid the Top 3 in each NFBC 15-Team Super League, so congrats to all of the prize winners.

Dave McDonald of Brunswick, Ohio won the March 22nd NFBC 15-Team Super Online League and that $20,000 league prize. Dave finished with 118 points as he led this league for most of the year and finished with a 4 point winning margin. Bill Gaffney finished with 114 points to finish second, earning $7,500, while David Deterra finished third with 109 points to earn $5,000. The entry fee for the NFBC Super leagues is $2,500.
