Hey Ram - how's it going? I switched over to Fantrax the year after CDM kicked us out in WA state. It's a good site - higher payout %'s. No huge overall prizes but who really wins those anyway, right? Not in the playoff league yet but might throw one in tonight. Droogies! Great to see you again. Hey, throw a team in (I'm sure Smitty would be entertained by that) I just set my lineup about an hour ago, and just getting more familiar with the site and how it works. It's a lot different than what I'm used to, but I like it - I'm curious about how the full-season games go, so I'm looking forward to the losing learning curve that comes with playing a new format ha (although in the points games, there's not much of a difference) Good to see your name again, my man! |

I haven't won too often the last 2 years - should be safe! Plus the playoff league is a crap shoot. Nice to see all the old CDM names. Good luck!

I posted the Fantrax website address on the CDM Facebook page 7 hours ago and they haven't removed it. Last year it would have been gone in minutes.

Don't understand CDM's actions at all if there's a chance they'd be having the DC game this year. Don't see why they couldn't give some sort of explanation, even if things were uncertain.

It seems pretty clear now even without an explaination.

Good job Ride...although I haven't done any serious playing at CDM since 2010, I would like to see it continue in one form or another; hopefully with a better payout versus cost ratio.

What's the cap for the Bronze game? Is that roto or points?

What's the cap for the Bronze game? Is that roto or points? Fantrax offers 2 points games and 2 roto games. Both points & roto have te same caps as CDM games - points games have a 60 mil cap, and the roto games have a 30 mil cap. All the games have no additional fees beyond the initial entry fee. Silver (cost $160 last year) and Bronze ($30) are the Points games at Fantrax. Gold ($280 I think?) and Rookie ($40) are the roto games. The Rookie game is identical to the Gold game, except in cost & prizes. |

I've played at CDM every year since 2003, and I sure hope their games can somehow be run this year. I have also played at Fantrax every year since they opened up cap games in 2011. While the bulk of my fantasy BB money is spent at CDM, mainly because of weaker leagues, I still think Fantrax is a well run company - they pay out just fine. Their games run smoothly, they listen to their customers.
In 2011 it was a bit of culture shock using totally different fantasy website after playing at CDM for many years, but I got used to Fantrax set-up. 3 of my 4 annual draft leagues are played at Fantrax, so that helps me get used to Fantrax website. Any newcomers get used to it after awhile. Their stats & research tools on players are the best around.
If CDM has games, I will play as I always do, but if CDM does fold up, I'll put more money into Fantrax teams. So if CDM closes I hope you will all try Fantrax - it's really a pretty solid place. Give 'em a look. I have no major loyalty to any site, but I just enjoy sal. cap games. Still holding out a smidgen of hope at CDM .... we'll know the final answer at some point.

It is showing in my CDM account that my football prizes check(s) totally approximately $4,000 is being sent out today. Just FYI. Still no word from them. I sent an email, even offering my legal services to their counsel as I am in St. Louis. Just in case legal issues are involved.

DS : the salaries came out yesterday for all the games, even though details (cost, prizes & sign-ups) won't be available to January 20th (I think I read that?). You can find the salaries near the top of this Fantrax baseball BBS - just click on "Roto Salaries" www.fantrax.com/thread.go?threadId=zinplwxvgjf3jb8g&leagueId=NULL |

I'm going to give it a go over there at Fantrax I think. Hopefully CDM also has a game, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have both options.
