| July 2008 - More Site Enhancements, MFL Blog, Referral Program. (Published Tue Jul 1 11:22:39 a.m. ET 2008) |
|---|
Thanks again for taking the time to set up a 2008 league on MyFantasyLeague.com. This
newsletter will keep you informed of off-season activities on the site.
If you haven't already, be sure to purchase your 2008 league by July 31st to save $10. Full purchase details are available on this page. To double-check if your league has been paid for, check the "For Commissioners" menu - if it has a "League Invoice" menu option, that means you're all set for the 2008 season (and that page will contain all of the relevant information regarding your purchase), otherwise, you can use the "Purchase League" option to pay for your league.
We're happy to announce even more site changes that have been completed in June:
- More NFL News Sources - In addition to news from KFFL and Rotoworld, we're happy to announce additional partnerships which means we have even more news sources for 2008, including: FantasyFantatics, FFChamps, FFToolBox, Rotowire, and TheHuddle. With this change, you'll notice other news-related changes, including:
- A new home page module called "Hot Player News", which shows the players with the most news articles over the last week.
- A new filter on the Reports > NFL > News Articles report, allowing you to filter news by source.
- The Reports > NFL > News Articles report now also allows you to page through news articles 100 at a time if you'd like to read older news.
- Fantasy Pools - Much like our NFL pools, you can now have a fantasy pool for your league. Fantasy pools allow you to predict the winner of each fantasy game each week. To turn this option on for your league, go to the For Commissioners > Setup > Pool Setup page. Once you do that, owners can submit picks via the "For Owners > Fantasy Pool Picks" page, and you can include a "Fantasy Pool Summary" home page module to summarize pool results.
- Top Adds/Drops Enhancements - The Reports > Player > Top Adds/Drops report has been upgraded to include a "Status" column, detailing the player's fantasy status, and it also now allows you to filter on fantasy free agents to more easily identify players who are hot, but might still be available in your league. In addition, the Reports > Player > Free Agents report has been upgraded to make many of the columns sortable by clicking on the column header, and a new "Add Pct" column has been added, to allow you to sort on the hottest free agents.
- Submit Lineups Home Page Module - If you'd like to allow owners to be able to submit their lineup directly from your league home page, there is a new home page module called "Submit Lineups" to do that.
- MyFantasyLeague.com Blog - Check out our new blog when you get a chance, where you can learn a bit more about site enhancements, explanation of site features, and more. Let us know if there's a topic you'd like to see covered in our blog!
- Free Mock Drafts - Don't forget about our public mock drafts, which are available all day long and are free to participate in anytime. A new mock draft starts every 10 minutes, and it is a great way to practice for your real draft! Click Here for more details or to join a mock draft now. And click here to study the results of the many drafts that have already taken place via our ADP (Average Draft Position) Rankings.
With two months to go until kickoff of week 1, you can expect even more site enhancements from us before the start of the season.
Also, don't forget about our referral program, whereby you can earn $10 off your 2009 league purchase with us - see this page for more details.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions about the above enhancements.
Sincerely, MyFantasyLeague.com

| June 2008 - Renew Before June 10th To Save $20, More Site Enhancements (Published Mon Jun 2 12:41:08 a.m. ET 2008) |
|---|
If you haven't already, be sure to purchase your league before June 10th to save $20! See this page for full details.
As always, we're busy adding new features to the site to make sure your 2008 season is better than ever before. This month, this list includes:
- My Watch List - To easily track players that are not necessarily on your roster, but you're still interested in, there is a new For Owners > My Watch List. Also, there is a new "My Watch List" home page module you can add to your league home page to display all players currently on your watch list.
- Rookie-only drafts - If your league is a dynasty league that has rookie-only drafts, there is a new setting on the For Commissioners > Setup > Draft Setup > General Draft and Timer Setup page called "This draft is a rookie-only draft?". Changing this option to "Yes" will force the system to require all draft picks in your draft to be rookies.
- Re-Vamped ADP Page - Our Average Draft Position (ADP) page now has many additional options on it, including the ability to break out mock drafts from real drafts, point-per-reception (PPR) drafts from non-PPR drafts, as well as the ability to break out drafts based on the number of franchises in the league.
- Overhauled "Help Center" Page - Your Help > Help Center page has been overhauled, hopefully making it much more comprehensive, and easier for you to find answers to your questions.
Don't forget to take full advantage of our Customer Referral Program, which allows you to earn big discounts on your 2009 league purchase with us!
As always, please let us know if you have any questions about the above enhancements. With three months until the start of the 2008 season, we've still got lots more planned for future site enhancements.

| April Newsletter - Fantasy Recaps, Free Mock Drafts, More Site Upgrades (Published Mon Apr 7 3:02:02 p.m. ET 2008) |
|---|
We're happy to announce even more off-season site upgrades here at MyFantasyLeague.com, including:
- Fantasy Recap Report - This cool new report will help take league trash-talking to a whole new level! It's a computer-generated post-game recap of all fantasy matchups in your league for each week of the season, complete with highlighting top player performances, owner quotes, and calling out when an owner could have won a game with better starting lineup choices. To top it off, when an owner sees his own default quote, they can just click on that system-generated quote, and replace it with his own, custom quote, as he sees fit! To get a better feel for exactly what this report looks like, go to your 2007 league home page, and then check out the "Reports > Franchise > Fantasy Recap" option.
- Free Public Mock Drafts - Want to join a public mock draft on MyFantasyLeague.com? Go to this page and select one to join!
- More Weather Information - Several pages have been updated to include a brief forecast for today for the NFL city where a game is being played. These pages include the "For Owners > Submit Lineups" page, the "Reports > NFL > NFL Schedule" report, and the "Next Week's NFL Schedule" home page module. Note that if you hold your mouse over the forecast, you'll see the daily high and low temperature in a tooltip.
- More Live Draft Room Enhancements - In addition to the enhancements we announced last month, we've done even more for the live draft room this month, including:
- Each individual owner can select the "voice" to use for the audio announcements in the live draft room: David, Callie, Shouty or None.
- To make it easier to see players, the list of available players now displays the top 10 players.
- Starting lineup requirements for your league are displayed.
- The "Draft Log" is now scrollable, allowing you to keep better track of what recent draft events have happened.
Don't forget to take full advantage of our Customer Referral Program, which allows you to earn big discounts on your 2009 league purchase with us!
Finally, don't forget that the NFL schedule displayed on your 2008 MyFantasyLeague.com league is a dummy/made up schedule. When the official NFL schedule gets released (which should be mid-April), your 2008 league will be updated to reflect this change.
As always, please let us know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions for the site!
Sincerely,
MyFantasyLeague.com

our servers, ensuring that we can deliver the best product possible for
2008 and beyond.

automatically updated every 90 seconds, where in 2008, this page will automatically update every 60
seconds, allowing you to get even faster live scoring results. Note with this change, we're also now
putting third-party advertisements at the top of our "Live Scoring" pages.

home page modules: Bar Chart and Draft Tracker.

live draft, a more obvious indication when a draft pick has been made, and the league's "Draft Status
Log" has been updated.

those tabs to easily re-arrange them.

Commissioners > Email Log page, allowing a commissioner to see exactly when system-generated emails
have gone out to everyone in his league, as well as reporting any errors we might be aware of in
delivering those emails.

League" option to allow a commissioner to quickly make a duplicate copy of the current league for testing
purposes.
- Fixed Dollar Amount Salary Increase - the "For Commissioners > Setup > Salary Cap Setup
> General Salary Cap Setup" page has been updated to allow a commissioner to change all player salaries
at once by a fixed dollar amount, in addition to the percentage change that we previously offered.
- Advanced Editor Upgrades - there have been several upgrades to our "Advanced Editor",
including:
- A brand-new version of the editor has been installed, fixing some of the problems with it reported by
our customers.
- There are two new Advanced Editor templates, available from the "Templates" icon, allowing you to
easily create a new MFL-standard home page data table, as well as easily embed a YouTube.com video into your
league home page.
With six months until the start of the 2008 season, we have lots more planned for future site
enhancements.
In addition, here's a re-cap of some of the more significant in-season enhancements we added to the
site during last season, in case you missed these features before.
- All-Time Series Records Reports - there is a fourth report under the Reports >
Records heading, showing you all-time series records across all seasons that you've had a league on
MyFantasyLeague.com.
- Live Scoring Text Messages - the For Owners > Setup > Franchise Setup > Advanced page
has been updated to allow you to receive fantasy score text messages on your cell phone periodically throughout the day
on Sundays when games are on-going.
Don't forget to take full advantage of our Customer Referral Program, which allows you to earn
big discounts on your 2009 league purchase with us!
Finally, don't forget that the NFL schedule displayed on your 2008 MyFantasyLeague.com league is a

2008 league will be updated to reflect this change.
