    We'll likely see it in the review but what is it in the extra "functionality" that really sets Fantrax apart for you diehards? I ask as I'm thinking of starting a live auction draft with some friends and know that CBS is really the only option I've considered. It won't have a "farm system" so is there anything else I should know about Fantrax from a Commish standpoint that might make me look into it further?

    Big thing for me is fantrax can handle any type of league - doesn't matter how big or small, cap or noncap, every cat you could dream of using, etc.

    Add in that it's got a no-nonsense approach (at least I find anyway) where you don't need to dig through endless help sections to figure out how to set things up, and I'm sold.

    Their customer service is also fantastic.

    The ability for fantrax to help our minor league system, was a crucial thing for me. We can do our settings as we need and its basically soooooo much easier for a comish to handle.

    In my CBS leagues, it was just a fools mess trying to monitor minor league players.


    From an owner standpoint they do not really feel the effect. But from a Comish standpoint having to work this and monitor it, fantrax and the settings will be a very good thing.


    The " look" of the sites is not as important to me as the overall functionality of the site is.

    I have been a Fantrax commisioner for a whole year for my keeper league. I wouldn't mind doing the review as I've used most if not all of the features at one point. Send me a private message with the deadline date to submit the review and any particulars. I'd like some more details before I fully commit.
