I think it is for new leagues only, but I may wrong. too bad, I had been a cbs customer since 1998, and have finally moved to mfl solely b/c of price. too late cbs.

 

 

I've used CBS since 2001 I think...

 

I wish I could renew for that cheap...

I love the site, but they have been going up every year. This will be my Invitational's first year with MFL. I was in a couple leagues with MFL last year and was satisfied. MFL is only 44.95 for CBS transfers this year. They want our business and CBS acts arrogant :wacko: and should cut us loyal users a break. They lost me this year :tup:

I'm going to shoot them an e-mail after I pay for my league at the last minute letting them know that if they don't make it cheaper next year, I'm going to find a new site to run my league....

LoLuck ... maybe try before you pay, you never know, they may extend a discount to you this year ... they should get back to you, let me know what they say, I am intrigued.

I'm absolutely certain that this unique argument will persuade them to act without the slightest hesitation on your behalf.

If you're serious about FF, you use MFL. If you don't, you're not.

 

IMO.

 

 

Poppycock I tell you. MFL nut huggers are correct about the price but CBS software is fine. Their player updates are pretty useless but I dont use them for that. If you spread the cost out over the amount of people in your league its about 12 bucks each or something like that . Ill take that to keep with a product I am familiar and satisfied with

I use CBS because I have about 5 people in my league that only use a computer when it's FF time....CBS is extremely user friendly....

 

MFL is for people who are at least a little computer savvy which these owners aren't (at all)...plus I'm not even sure if MFL can support my scoring system....because a few years ago, they didn't...

I have never found scoring that MFL couldn't do that the mainstream sites could. I may not have been looking for what you were doing though either.

put it this way....scoring for QB's is as followed...

 

200 pass yds = 10 pts; every 10 additional pass yds is 1pt

every 2 rush/rec yds by a QB is 2pts

 

pass TD's are worth 6-9 pts depending on the distance

rush/rec tds are worth 9-12 pts depending on the distance

 

-2pts for fum/int

 

that's just for QB's...

Pretty sure htey can do it, as I have utilized similar yardage scoring in a league (setting would be something along the lines of 0-199=0, 200=10, then IIRC there is a setting for every 10 yards above 200 =1 pt, easiest way is to e-mail their support to get sassistance to set it up). Distance TD is simple, they do that. negative points is standard.

 

I;'d say they could do it, be half the price of CBS and you can customize your layout as you see fit for the home page. Not sure, but from what I hear, I would guess that rtsports could also do it.

So I am not "serious about fantasy football" because our league members pay an extra 6-7 dollars each for the website we use ? Hogwash I tell you

You may be serious, but you are just taking money out of the prize pool to use software that, while it works for your league, offers no real benefit over MFL, which in addition to offering enough for any standard league, has much greater capabilities for league settings and customization. So, even if you don't need the expanded capabilities, you are still paying double for the same product, with, from all I can gather, a much lower level quality of customer service.

 

Unless of course you use CBS in the hopes that your leaguemates use their fantasy player (mis)information, then I salute your cunningness in the matter and would consider it an investment.

 

:wacko:

Rules For QB Event Range (Low-High) Points Edit? Test?

Length of Passing TD 0-9 6 Edit Test (Warning!)

Length of Passing TD 10-39 9 Edit Test (Warning!)

Length of Passing TD 40-110 12 Edit Test (Warning!)

 

Range Low Range High Points

From yards 0 to 199 yards 0 gets yards pts for reaching "Range Low" yards, then 0 pts for every 10 yards thereafter

From yards 200 to 999 yards gets 10 yards pts for reaching "Range Low" yards, then 1 pts for every 10 yards thereafter

 

Took me 49 seconds total to create both rules on MFL. Cake.

 

edit:

Misread original requirements. Add 14 seconds to create third rule:

 

Rushing + Receiving Yards Rules For QB

Show Conditional Scoring Options Show Formula Scoring Options

Range Low Range High Points

From 0 yards to 999 yards gets 2 yards pts for reaching "Range Low" yards, then 2 pts for every 2 yards thereafter
