Greg - Just curious if there were any Super Auctions this past year and who may have won?

We had $2500 Auction Championship leagues where you and Jason Emma won $20,000 in New York and Shawn Johnson won the $20,000 league prize in Las Vegas. Glad you asked.

Congrats on your victory, Matt! Probably the most frustrating ending I've ever had going from being 3 points out of 1st and having a commanding lead in 2nd to tied for 3rd, but thems the breaks...and luckily for you the season didn't go on another day because Brinkman was on your ass lol... we both used up our FAAB way too quick and had so many injuries/benchings to deal with in the final few weeks... turned out ok for you in the end though! Hard fought victory, my man!
