Simpsons League Site News

We're happy to announce a new site feature - live scoring text messages are now available to all customers on Sundays while games are underway.

To use this new feature, please do the following:

1. From your "For Owners > Franchise Setup > Advanced" page, make sure all owners have entered in a "Franchise Abbreviation" - this abbreviation will be used in all wireless reports and text messages, and will make these messages more readable on small-screen wireless devices.
2. Also on the "For Owners > Franchise Setup > Advanced" page, enter your cell phone number, and select your cell phone carrier from the drop-down list of available carriers. If you have a cell phone carrier other than one of the listed carriers, please let us know.
3. Save this updated franchise information, and on Sundays, you'll get several text messages throughout the day with live scoring updates!

A couple of notes about this new feature:

• Text messages will be sent out at 3, 4:30, 6, 7:30 and 10pm ET on Sundays, which will roughly correspond to halftime and the end of the 1pm and 4pm ET games, as well as halftime of the Sunday night game.
• Cell phone carriers limit text messages to be about 100 or so bytes long, so these text messages will only contain scores for your franchise, as well as your fantasy opponent.
• In addition, these text messages will contain a link to your Reports > Wireless > Live Scoring page, allowing you to see more live scoring details if your cell phone has a built-in web browser.

As always, please let us know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions regarding this new feature.

We're happy to announce the availability of MyFantasyLeague.com GameDay 2007, a free downloadable program for a greatly enhanced live scoring experience.

If you have follow-up questions or suggestions based on this newsletter, please be sure to submit a support ticket to us via your Help > How To Get Additional Help page (and then selecting the "Scoring & Stats" category, and the "GameDay" subcategory), rather than replying via email. Our support ticketing system allows us to respond to your questions and suggestions much faster than email does.

For those that are not familiar with GameDay, here are a few of the many cool features it offers:

1. Faster Updates - MyFantasyLeague.com Game Day updates every 30-35 seconds, whereas standard MyFantasyLeague.com live scoring refreshes every 90 seconds.
2. NFL Games View - this view allows you to see live scoring on an NFL matchup basis. This view is ideal to figure out, for example, if your RB on a given NFL team is not getting yardage, who else on the team might be getting the yardage.
3. Top Performers View - allows you to see the top performers across all NFL games as the games are in progress.
4. Touchdowns View - allows you to see all of the Touchdowns and Field Goals that have been scored at a glance as the games are on-going.
5. My Leagues View - for those in more than one league, this allows you to see the results of all of your games in all of your leagues in a single place.
6. Custom Scoring Rules - full support of custom player positions, score adjustments, home field advantage points, and offense minus defense scoring (these are not displayed by the web-based live scoring interface).
7. Audio Integration - GameDay can announce to you when touchdowns and field goals are scored, when teams get into the Red Zone, when sacks occur, and more. New for 2007 - you can select one of three "voices" to hear scores announced in.
8. Refreshes Even When You're Away From Your Computer - web-based live scoring will detect that you're not using it, and will automatically stop refreshing after about 15 minutes. GameDay was designed for you to hear the scoring updates while you're away from your computer, and thus does not have this timeout feature.

To download GameDay, and get a better feel for exactly what this program is all about, please do the following:

• Download GameDay from http://www.fflm.com/gameday/gamedaysetup.exe to your PC.
• If you are asked whether to "Open" or "Save" the file, be sure to select the "Save to Disk" option. After saving it, double-click on the installer, and install it like you would any other Windows program.
• Run GameDay. Enter your 5-digit league ID (35005), and then click the "Start" button.
• To see (and hear!) what GameDay is all about, in another new-for-2007 feature, click on the "Options" tab, and check the "Simulation of 2006 week #3" checkbox - and you'll be able to see first-hand exactly how cool GameDay live scoring is!

Note that the 2006 version of GameDay will not work for your 2007 league. If you're still running the 2006 version of GameDay - you'll need to download and install the 2007 version following the instructions above. To confirm what version of GameDay you're running, look in the "title bar" of the application - it should read "2007 MyFantasyLeague.com GameDay - (Version 2007.8.1.0)" (or, a later version).

Sincerely, MyFantasyLeague.com
