<p class=MsoNormal>As you become a more involved fantasy baseball participant,
you are always looking for new challenges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>A lot of owners take on extra leagues (at one point I had joined 15
different leagues), but some owners seek out high stakes games where top-notch
participants enter in hopes of gaining fortune and glory.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If you want a shot at being recognized as a top fantasy
baseball owner, then the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55"><NOBR>National Fantasy Baseball Championship</NOBR></a> is the only
major event that guarantees national recognition and large cash prizes.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a> is sponsored by Krause Publications, one of the
foremost leaders in hobby publications in the United States.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I first learned of Krause Publications as a
fledgling baseball card collector in the late 1980’s.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes">  </span>As Fantasy Baseball has become ever so popular, Krause
Publications leveraged their niche in the sports collectibles arena to support
their entry into fantasy sports publications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'>In
2004, Greg Ambrosius decided to further immerse Krause Publications in the
Fantasy Baseball Industry by founding the National Fantasy Baseball
Championship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>Some people were
skeptical of the event, but Greg Ambrosius and Tom <span style='mso-bidi-font-size:
8.5pt'>Kessenich</span> personally managed to get over 190 high stakes players
into the premiere fantasy baseball competition by offering a guaranteed top
prize of $100,000.00; even though Krause Publications stood to loose money on
the event.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'>What
makes the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a> so interesting is that they actually established the drafting
events in three major cities, in order to make the game accessible to anyone
who wanted to participate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>The variety
of draft cities (Chicago, Las Vegas, New York City) allowed each major time
zone of the continental United States to host an event.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>The events in 2004 went off with very few
glitches, and proved to be a successful model for the following events.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">   </span>This year, The <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a> has decided to add
Tampa, Florida as a fourth location for drafting in the largest fantasy sports
event in 2006.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I’m sure they are hoping
to reel in some of the baseball enthusiasts who will be in Florida for Spring
Training games during the middle of March. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>As an original participant of the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a>, I will be attending
my third <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55"><NOBR>National Fantasy Baseball Championship</NOBR></a> draft event in Chicago on March
18, 2006.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>Last year, I had a phenomenal
draft and thought I’d be in a position to win my league, but with injuries to 5
of my top 10 picks (Thome, Halladay, Prior, Dotel, Bagwell), I was not able to
keep up with the other top competitors!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>The competition is relentless, and even the bottom dwellers were doing
all they could to improve their overall rankings up until the final weeks of
the season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>In a competitive league
like the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a>, no one wants to finish last… </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I really enjoy participating in the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a>, because it is hard
to find an ultra competitive 15-team rotisserie league in the local area.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>And the chance to play for fortune and glory
is also appealing to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I will be in
quite a few other big stakes games, but none of them compare to the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a> in
total prize payout, which is about 83% of all entry fee money collected, nor do
they guarantee payout by contracting Wells Fargo to oversee all prize monies.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Since I am preparing my 2006 projections with the goal of
winning the <a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a> in 2006, you can rest assured that my research will be passed
along to the RotoRank membership so that they can be better prepared for their
local leagues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>If you are looking for a
new challenge in Fantasy Baseball, I highly recommend you consider joining the
<a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55">NFBC</a> before they sell out the remaining 180 of 375 slots available for the 2006
<a href="http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship.com/referral.asp?source=55"><NOBR>National Fantasy Baseball Championship</NOBR></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
