$50,000 In Prizes Paid, and Ranking Cap Updated

Fantasy Sports Live has now paid out over $50,000 in cash prizes since our launch just a few months ago. $500,000 is just around the corner. Thanks for your support in us hitting this milestone.

The ranking cap was updated last night, and now fully reflects this seasons results. It is always difficult to nail down these numbers as it is a mix of last years results and a game or two this year early in the season. There are some pretty big changes this week, but you should see things settle down with smaller weekly changes going forward. Since the cost of some of the stars this year went up, we bumped up the typical ranking cap value to 950pts. Let us know if you think this is where it should be.

Ranking Cap, Leaderboard, and More

We rolled out version 2.0 of FSL tonight. With the new version we now offer the "Ranking" cap draft method. You can find the ranking cap games in the contest lobby where points (pts) are shown for the cap value. With the ranking cap a player's cost is proportional to their fantasy points per game. This makes things much more difficult and adds even more skill to drafting your fantasy team. We also added a leaderboard which shows total contest prizes won (any cash) since the website launched. We will be adding a more sophisticated leaderboard later, but for now you will be able to see who the consistent performers are on FSL. Lastly, we have updated the contest lobby quite a bit. Contests are now color coded, and the Salary or Ranking Cap value used is indicated in a column. We also removed the past contest link, and allow you to sort by contest status or sport. We will probably be tweaking the UI stuff a bit over the next week or two to fine tune things so let us now if you have any suggestions. Also let us know what you think of the ranking cap.
