Cheatsheet Compiler and Draft Buddy

In a partnership with Mike MacGregor of FFtoday.com, we are excite to have released our first ever draft preparation and management excel applications.  The Cheatsheet compiler allows you to generate custom cheatsheets based on your league parameters.  The scoring system is limited to standard 4x4, 5x5, or Points leagues.  Once you have made your cheatsheets you can use the Draft Buddy to track the draft and automatically have your players crossed off the cheatsheets.  The draft buddy even manages auctions by tracking available budgets.  This 2005 versions is only the beginning, we have big plans for future versions of the files.

Patchyfogg’s Radio Interviews

Site member patchyfogg has a New York radio show and occasionally gets to interview important people in baseball and fantasy sports.  We have agreed to carry streaming copies of baseball related interviews which you can find in our downloads area.  The first release is an interview with Ron Shandler, publisher of the Baseball Forecaster and www.baseballhq.com.  He was an official advisor to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2005 and is one of the most respected analysts in the fantasy sports industry.

Rotochamps in Industry Leagues

Rotochamps.com will be represented in several “Industry” Leagues.  Some people call these “Expert” leagues but I prefer the former title.  We recently completed the auction for a league hosted by FantasyAuctioneer.com.  It is a 12 team, 5x5 mixed league and should be very competitive.  We will publish the results of the auction soon.  We will also be participating in the FSIC “Expert” League for the second straight year.  Finally we will be represented in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship in Las Vegas next week.  We will do our best to keep everyone informed of how we are doing as the season goes on.
