FPN has thousands of players and dozens of leagues across the country, most prominently in the north and Midwest.

There are FPN leagues in Arizona, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. But the most FPN players reside in five states: Minnesota, Illinois, North Dakota, Texas, and Nebraska.

The North Star state boasts 3,974 players and is home to Billy's Bar & Grill, which has four FPN championship titles to its name. It's home to the likes of two-time FPN champion Joel Smith, reigning champ Marion Massmann, who won last year's Desert Dash-For-Cash Championship for $25,000, and last night's Royal Court National Championship winner Steve Belland.
