Hall of Fame
The NFBC Hall of Fame opened in 2011 as an honorarium for the best fantasy players in our contest's history. Only the very, very best of the best will be honored here and we will use the following criteria for induction into the NFBC Hall of Fame:
- Excellence through time in the NFBC main event.
- Consistency through time in the NFBC main event.
- Winning titles in the NFBC.
- Winning prize money in the NFBC.
- Excellence in several NFBC formats; consistency in multiple formats
NFBC Hall of Fame members are selected by NFBC officials with input from current NFBC members during the year of induction. Each year we will look at the accomplishments of our veteran players and honor those owners whose accomplishments are spectacular compared to all other players. So far, three owners have distinguished themselves as the very, very best of the best in NFBC history. The current list of NFBC Hall of Famers include:

Lindy won the 2009 Main Event overall title and he won the debut NFBC Online Championship that same year, earning a total of $146,300 in those two contests. He also earned a $75,000 cash bonus for winning both overall titles and he even finished second in the Ultimate Auction League that year. Lindy became the first owner to win TWO national titles when he won the NFBC $100,000 grand prize in 2011 as he had another fantastic season, finishing second overall in the Auction Championship. He won four of seven league titles in 2011 to go along with his 2nd NFBC $100,000 grand prize. His incredible accomplishments earned him a spot in the NFBC Hall of Fame in of 2012. In 2011, Lindy led the Main Event for much of the last four months and edged KJ Duke by a mere 2.5 points to win his second $100,000 grand prize.

He has finished in the Top 10 overall for the Main Event four times: winning the $100,000 grand prize in 2010, finishing second overall in 2008, 5th in 2012 and 10th overall in our debut season of 2004.
