Fantasy football is a great way to spend your time, not only on Sunday, but throughout the week. Just think, when you get bored at work and really don't want to be there, you can escape by diving into your fantasy football team and league. Sure, you may get fired, but at least you will have the right starting lineup for Sunday.
USE A WEBSITE BASED SERVICE TO COORDINATE YOUR LEAGUE
Coordinating your league online via a website has become almost standard in fantasy football. Gone are the days of calculating points using the box scores and keeping the standings by handwritten notes. The question is, which website are you using and how much will it allow you to do with your league?
Most people just sign their league up for a website and proceed with the standard rules set forth by that website. WRONG! As mentioned in Part 1 of this series of posts, it is time that your league evolve into what the members want it to be. Therefore, you need an online league manager that will allow you to modify the rules of your league as the members see fit.
Your online league commissioner or manager should allow you great flexibility for changing the rules, roster limits, scoring descriptions, trades, message boards for trash talk, stats - stats - and more customized stats about the teams and players performance in your league, and several links to other informative fantasy football sites. YES, THIS WILL COST YOU BUT IT IS MORE THAN WORTH IT. The price will usually be less than $100 and should be figured into league dues so all league members share the expense. A fantasy football League without a good, flexible online managing website is like a golfer with only a driver and putter in his bag.
There are a number of online fantasy football league managers that you can choose from. A simple google search will give you plenty of prospects. I encourage you to view the sample league in each so that you get a real feel for how the website works. Reading about "how great the site is" doesn't compare to actually seeing how and what the site will provide. Our league has used myfantasyleague.com for a number of years. We are very pleased with it's flexibility and huge database of information. Also, myfantasyleague.com keeps all of your league info from prior years that you can check out at any time. Sometimes it is fun to take a walk down memory lane, even in fantasy football.
Probably the most important aspect of having the online manager for your league is that this website will allow your league members a place to convene, communicate, coordinate their team, crunch the numbers, and check out all the latest football info. Having a website to visit at any moment, cultivates interest in the league.
