The NASBL News featured 103 articles. Brad Sherlag (ILL) and Kevin Burns (LVI) led all contributors with 14 articles each. Also in double-digits were Mitch Pak (NYK - 12), Justin Rabidoux (VFS - 11), and Mark Hildebrandt (OJW - 10). Thank you very much to everyone who contributed. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and you are a big part of making the NASBL a tremendously entertaining league.

In terms of raw Early Bird bonuses, shout out to Kevin Burns (LVI) for narrowly edging out legendary quick-draw artist Frank Pennylegion (SPL). I honestly didn't think it could be done.
