CBS Fantasy Baseball Commissioner for 2013

Anyone have any idea what the price will be to start a FBB Commissioner League on CBS for 2013?  Is CBS going to come down a little off their previous price?  I'd like to use CBS for my league, but they are just so darned expensive!

it has been $150 the last couple years, chances are good it'll stay the same. Maybe you can use a promo code for some savings, but its probly $15 a person for a 10 teamer. Not so bad for an entire years worth of corrections, ability to add/change owners and all the options that go with the commish service

We have had a  Fantasy Baseball Team since 1984 and we have used CBS the last 10 or 12 years, I really like the site, price is stiff at $150.00 a league but they do a great job, pay for it now because it goes up 30 bucks in 19 days, you may find a promo code but it will be after the 19 days so it's gonna cost you the same anyway.

use this code and you can get half off if you start a new league.  I get some cash too, but at least you get half price....

You can get a league for $89.99 by using the link below.   You have to create a "new" league, but by using the link to do it you get 50% of the cost it normall is.

Sox Fan, 

Above is a link to start a cbs commissioner fantasy basebal league... I have been the commish of our CBS baseball league since 2003 now and we love it! Usually the league costs 180, but this refferal link will give you your first season half off. After that, you can renew your league for 150 and start refering other people! Ryan 

use this code and you can get half off if you start a new league.  I get some cash too, but at least you get half price....  still have two slots left.

yes its the same as my previous post, but I feel it's poor form to post your referral code aftter someone elses (and yes the irony is not lost on my that this is what i'm doing).

Here's another 50% off referral code, if you need one.  It's nice that new leagues can use these but I personally just wish CBS would drop the price overall.  We've been using their commissioner service for more than 10 years and like having our league history and that's the ONLY reason we don't use one of these referral codes each year ourselves.  We are essentially paying $60 each year to maintain our History.  Doesn't seem right...  Anyway, enough compleaining.  Here's the referral code:

Thanks! 

anyone know when the free season info will be out.  I was in the Billy Goat league last year and would like to join again.

Here's another referral code if anyone wants a discount for a new league.

Our league has never paid a website to host our league. What features do you pay for? Just curious. It seems that our host site has everything that we need for free.

I'm with Mudman.  The biggest reason I'm still using CBS is because it keeps all the stuff from past years.  And the funny thing is, I keep my own personal backup, so I have all the info on my own anyway.

As for other reasons to use CBS, I feel their customizable stat reports are really good.  It allows me to make my own searches, so I can look for Pitchers who have higher K/9 and still keep track of ERA and WHIP (even though we don't specifically use those catagories.)

I like the ability to get daily emails, and control (to a certain extent) the info that comes in that email.

The stats export to excel pretty well (they even have a spreadsheet link for exporting it) if you are the type to crunch your own numbers.

The controls for the commissioner are pretty good.

Live scoring is nice, but I wish it had the ability to show an optimal lineup.  But it does add the live audio from games.  I think only CBS allows that.

again, if you want to try it out for half off use this code (I still have two slots left) http://cbssports.com/ref/46700490

Thanks for the feedback.  Its hards for me to compare since I've never used CBS but it sounds like we have a lot of those same features except its free. I am in a very competitive league and we have used the same host site for years. It even keeps stats from the previous year such as all transactions, the draft, lineups, team stats, etc.


The bottom line...whatever site your league is comfortable with is the way to go! Good luck and have fun this season.

pretty much all the stuff that your host site is doing for you, in regard to the past stats, is what cbs does.  I believe that the first site that allows you to import your entire league history will make out like gangbusters.  It seems for the most part once you've started playing with a specific service, you are less inclined to leave, which brings me to my second point.

The other thing you get with cbs is a referral code http://cbssports.com/ref/46700490  to get half your league off.  which every clown gets and posts all over the place with zero regard for who has also posted in a thread.  But with the kind of money they are offering to refer people, it's no wonder why (heck, i'll defend my threads pretty vigorously).  With the first two referals you get $100 each.  With the next three you get $200.  i've already got three. I wonder if for $450 now, I could start 5 leagues with my own referal code and get the $800 at the end of the year.  Seems like a lot of work for $350, but really where else would you get a 78% ROI?  I suppose if you had the money you could then create more leagues off your new fake leagues.  If anyone tries this, let me know.

oh, and the bobble head trophy is pretty sweet.  Though I'm sure I could have one made for less than $150.

don't forget the referal code.  http://cbssports.com/ref/46700490

I do not know if you get the bobble head when using the referal code.
