Website Change
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2004 8:54 pm
Lately I've been thinking of the advantages of moving our web site to a full-service, real-time fantasy league hosting site. MyFantasyLeague.com is a sister company of the FLM software which we've been using for the last 6 years.
I've set up leagues on MyFantasyLeague.com for both MTFFL & MTFFL II and transferred all our information from the FLM program to the website. I'll be sending your passwords with a link to the home page soon, so try it out for a few days and let's discuss what you think about it.
Some of the advantages:
- Much more hands free and automated for the Commish. Lineups and transactions are updated in real time. No more waiting on me when I go to Titans games.
- Scores are updated in real time.
- Each user can customize the links and look of their site.
- Injury and fantasy information is integrated into the site information.
- Some features that I wanted to implement are already available as options such as:
- - Rosters can be changed right before the player's game time instead of the first game of the week.
- - Waiver Wire feature is available.
Known disadvantages:
- Cost is $60 per league per year. Right now we are paying $40 for the software for unlimited teams per year.
- Loss of control over some programming decisions.
Left to do:
- Check about Franchise History reports.
- Is the server fast on Sundays?
Try to test it, especially people who are in both leagues and people who share computers with other owners.
I still need to double check the scoring rules and league schedule to make sure they transferred over correctly.
