SAM
HENDRICKS CROWNED GRAND CHAMPION IN THE 2012 FANTASY INDEX OPEN
Award-Winning Author Sam Hendricks Bests 92 Other Fantasy
Football Prognosticators
FOREST,
VA. – March 6, 2013 – Extra Point Press is pleased to announce that award-winning
author Sam Hendricks won the 2012 Fantasy Index Open. The Fantasy Index Open is
a prognosticating contest sponsored by Fantasy Index Magazine. The contest is
open to "anyone who wants to show what they've got" according to
their website, FantasyIndex.com. This is the second year of this competition
and Sam Hendricks was confirmed as the winner in January 2013.
Hendricks
was steady across the board in the competition and this allowed him to finish
122 points ahead of the second-place competitor. Sam finished in the top 10 in
defenses (7th). His other finishes included: quarterbacks (22nd), running backs
(13th), wide receivers (15th), tight ends (33rd), and kickers (11th). Due to a
change in the scoring system this year, more weight was given to the lesser
picks. This new system proved to be a
boon for Hendricks and he was crowned Grand Champion.
As
the "king" of this year's competition, Hendricks was awarded a large
19" football trophy worthy of any fine trophy case. The trophy was
graciously donated to the Fantasy Index Open by Affordable Trophies (see photo
on website). In addition, the winner of this competition also earns a berth in
the sister competition, the Fantasy Index Experts Poll. Since Hendricks is
already a member of the Experts Panel and has been in that competition for the
past five years, his at-large berth will go to the second place finisher.
