The Ortiz Bowl is a family NFL fantasy football competition David organized for his family. The inaugural competition, dubbed Ortiz Bowl I, was held during the 2022 NFL season, and successive competitions have been held each year since. The competition is fierce, with champions claiming bragging rights for the remainder of the year, and all vanquished competitors offering them their due reverence.

Teams reaching the top four
After the conclusion of each Ortiz Bowl championship game, the champion receives the championship trophy. Starting with Ortiz Bowl II, entry fees were divided up, with a percentage going to the first place (60%), second place (25%), and third place (15%) finishers. (Note: Years with an asterisk denote that the participants was a co-manager.)

Championship Trophy
Sandi Ishii created the championship trophy to be awarded each season of the Ortiz Bowl league. It depicts a person in a football helmet reclining in a reclining chair and sports the plaque "Ortiz Bowl League Champion". The trophy is passed from champion to champion each season. The shape of the trophy gave rise to the nickname for the last place finisher each year: The Footstool.
The Footstool
The last place finisher wins the dreaded Footstool, so called for being the thing the winner rests their feet on. During the first season of the Ortiz Bowl league, the winner of the Footstool got to create a new rule for the league. In future seasons, it seems likely that the last place finisher will get to choose their position in the draft, barring expansion. (Note: The number in parentheses shows the team's seed in the consolation bracket, not overall.)
