For whatever it's worth I've used CBSSportsline's system for 8 or 9 years for a roto league. They charge $100-$120 for the league but it's outstanding.  The cost is marginal if you split it up (thr trick is actually getting everyone to pay).  You definitely do get what you pay for though.

Hmm, I'll pass on paying to play unless it's some form of gambling where I'd win money back. So are you in Redz?

I dunno...I run my roto league and it's a pretty intense league (14 years running with keepers, salaries, contracts, college drafts...etc).

Basically I don't want to commit to another heavy league.  Unless this is a light one.

Don't forget the ever-so-intense staff league.

I was a part of the same league as Roy.   NBA.com did a terrible job.  The draft was botched.  They kept changing your lineup.  They ended the season 2 weeks earlier then scheduled. 


I would not put myself through that again.

with the addition of kcatthestripe, we now need around 6-10 more people to get it started.

CM, I was the commish for the doomed NBA.com league Roy and wdleehi were in (I think I mentioned it to you). It was the worst, most frustrating fantasy experience I've had. Don't know why we had such a rough go of it.

I'd be right there with you, but I've already got three or four Yahoo! leagues I'm likely going to commit to, so I'm going to have to pass.

just out of curiosity, who wins the staff league the most?

Are you sold on the NBA.com thing?  After the disaster my league had over there last year (which botched our entire draft), I don't think I'd want to participate in another league over there.  Yahoo, though, I'd be down with.

Yea I don't like the NBA one either...Yahoo I'd definitely be interested though.
Anything is possible!!!

Maestro -- sounds like a fair # of people are interested in doing the league of Yahoo... I don't mind one way or the other but Yahoo would be easier for me (since our Keeper League voted to go to Yahoo after probs with NBA.com).

But it might help get some folks like KW10
