We took to heart all your suggestions from our 2003 leagues and made the following improvements:

• Automated free agent system

  Our softare can automate the process of choosing free agents for your league without any work for the commissioner. Your league can have free agents determined by:

  Blind Claim System - Teams submit their free agent moves during the week in the form of a message to the commissioner. At a specific time, these messages become viewable to the commissioner. It is then up to the commissioner to make the transactions for the league.

  Automated Claim System - Teams submit players that they wish to add or drop. At the end of a specific day or everyday, the transactions are automatically handled based on criteria set up by the commissioner (first-come, an order set by the commissioner, or based on order in standings).

  Free Agent Budget System - Teams are given a set amount of money that they use to bid on free agents. The team that bids the most money on a free agent, gets that player. The FAAB system allows for $0 bidding or a fixed budget.

  All three of these options allow the commissioner to conduct retroactive moves and re-work anything if circumstances change. Or you can have all transactions go through your commissioner and he can input them whenever he has time.

• League Deadlines

  We've expanded the options for weekly deadlines for roster moves. Each league can now choose the specific time and day lineups can be entered - or choose before the start of games that day.

• Waivers

  Players that are released can be kept off the free agent market for 24 hours to 7 days, allowing your league's commissioner to enforce your league's waiver rules in the interim.

• Trades

  Your league members can now make trade proposals through our software and complete the trades without any work for the commissioner. Our trade system allows the commissioner to set up a number of options for this process including the ability to approve all trades, make trades only on weekly deadlines and enforce a trade deadline date.

• League Financials

  If your league charges per transaction, our system will allow you to keep track of this automatically by setting dollar values for each move.

What We Added in 2003

• Real-Time Stats

  Our commissioner services now feature real-time boxscores for your team each week. There's no additional charge for this feature from last year.

• Import Data From 2002 League

  Do you want to keep your league name, team information and player salaries and contract status from last year? No problem! Our new system allows you to choose which data you want to import from 2002.

• Set Weekly Lineup Feature

  We've improved the way team owners can enter moves each week. We now allow each league to set positional requirements and let owners enter only a maximum number of players at each position.

• Import to MyRotoWire

You are able to import your team into MyRotoWire if you are a RotoWire.com news subscriber. This saves you time setting up your team in MyRotoWire and allows you to easily update this feature each week.

• Advanced Forum Search

You can now view old posts from the league's bulletin board from the start of the season.

• More Owner Options

Each team/user can now change their team name, password and email address in addition to setting their lineup.
