Just wanted to touch base with everyone and let all know what’s happening. We seemingly have lost 3 owners. The Brewers, Cardinals, and Rangers. Every year we are losing multiple owners. This is an extremely time consuming league, as we all know.

So as the years go by it becomes increasingly difficult to fill the open teams. This league is my priority, however I have half dozen other league I am involved in. I am sure most of us do many leagues. We juggle them. Don’t have time to search for multiple new owners every year.

Each league has its own irritations. Fantasy Focus is no different. To be successful there has to be some level of commitment made to keeping up with team on a daily basis. For this reason we lose folks each year. How can we fix this? How can we ease the burden we all feel each year?

Well glad you asked. I am through with Yahoo. We will change websites to CBS Commissioner. I’ll pay for the site. We can adjust our schedule. We can roster our entire team. We can add drop same day and start the guy. We can control add drops and waivers to keep rosters in line. I’ve never used salary aspect but I’m sure it could be useful in some way if needed. Honestly so much more. Make our lives so much easier to maintain in this league. Still use proboards but easier for all during year. Daily is tough and there is points where we all find it tough to get lineups in. Or we miss a guy. I’m all done with that. Cbs is so gosh darn easy it’s silly.

Also with 3 teams open I want to contract two teams And go with 12. I want to make those players available first though waivers and then the leftovers will be available in bidding. We have great group of UFA this year and adding to it will only make our teams stronger and easier to compete week to week.

Player pool will be larger and plentiful. We don’t have to grab from scrap heap for daily fill in’s . We can increase roster spots if we want to even curb the spending. Also will
Increase the fun. And we can agree before bidding so strategies can be made.

All in all I feel these ideas and site changes will make league stronger and easier. Which should make it more fun.

[Giants]

All good ideas. I’m also happy to pitch in some money to help pay for CBS or anything.

Just had another baby on Thanksgiving so I’m not checking in much at the moment. However, I will be back and will get things updated in the coming weeks.

[Yankees]

Congrats Papa.

[Yankees]

Going to pitch my schedule to you guys. Brian (dbacks has played it)I started using it in my redraft I ran for 15 years. We found it extremely fun.

You play 3 game sets. Games run Mon-Thu and Fri-Sun. With our scoring I feel this could be really really cool. Think your in 10 place. down 14 games from 6th final playoff spot. Your going into the last two weeks. You could easily catch up. It makes pennant races awfully fun.

Now unless Bobby feels a 12 game weighted schedule by start of year is plausible it if he even wants to try. I understand not wanting too. We could do regular snake (boring) schedule or try my twist?

[Yankees]

Then I handled my playoffs as first round best of five so two and half weeks. LCS & World Series was best of seven. Which is REALLY COOL!! Brian won my league he’ll tell you.

Great ideas commish- count me in.

Hello Scott and League,

I am all for CBS for functionality. The fact your paying is honestly the best part. I will pitch in as well my friend. Probably $1.75 all I can spare. All jokes aside. I like the ideas presented. Hope this puts a stop to you texting me when I am working.

Hello again,

Left out comment about schedule. Scott has used it for awhile in his league, and has raved about it being fun. I find it interesting. I do enjoy the weighted schedule however. Is it still a possibility?

Adam

[Yankees]

Brewers are in!! Just got the email. Nice!

Ok well unless we hear from Cards soon we will proceed with contraction. I will not go into detail until we are certain Cards is out. Contraction will happen at Winter Meetings few weeks. Has till then to join the Renaissance of Fantasy Focus Dynasty!

Either way CBS is happening!! Embrace it!

[Yankees]

Hoot There They Are...Brewers are in...

[Athletics]

Will CBS be able to do your schedule?

[Yankees]

Oh yeah. CBS can do any schedule we want. I’ve already taken my site from my redraft we ended this past year. I’ve begun to clear everything out. Change to our rules and scoring. I’m tinkering with the salary stuff tomorrow. I’m off all day.

I think I should be able to have all players with salaries, I think contract years and it all add up on your roster with limit of 300. Waived and paying will be in placed in minors area. Salary should count against cap I don’t know yet but not 40 man roster I do know.

Again first time messing with salary stuff. I had to clear rosters bypass draft and start waivers which happens Saturday. So I can add players see how the contract gets added. Do we have to do an auction to initiate salaries? I’ll know more by this weekend. I’ve commished for 15 years on cbs I know this site well, except salary stuff. Which I’ll know on Saturday. But yeah all our stuff is good to go. I have roster stuff almost finished. Remember I have to clear 15 years of stuff first. But yeah!! It’s happening !!

[Yankees]

If you mean my split week schedule then yes and yes. It’s fun. Pain in the ass for me but yeah it’s doable. I’d have to write it again I just deleted the one I used...oops. But I have the grid. Just have to write it out.

[Yankees]

If you mean the weighted then yes and yes also. You can add weeks subtract weeks split weeks change matchups all of it...cbs is cool. Also why it’s $150 but worth it for fantasy baseball.

[Yankees]

Ok so guess cbs gonna allow me to add guys today. So what I found out we can enter salary and contract. I can set a cap of 300. If you go over 300 will score zero till it’s fixed. Waived paying will go into DL spots not minors. Found unless guy in minors wouldn’t let me put them there. Honestly that’s just semantics. Just need a spot to keep them. Functionality seems to do all we want.

We could even do our bidding but with our RFA aspect might not be worth the hassle. Nothing wrong with proboards stuff. No reason to change any of that. But man you guys will not miss yahoo. I assume most have used cbs commish . But if not no comparison. But again when you pay you get more so league made it this far. But enough is enough.
