Welcome to the Cyber Sports League! This page is specifically in place to provide some guidance to new members of the CSL. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact the
Commissioner directly.
Things To Do
CSL Rules
After being accepted as a new owner in the league, your first priority is to familiarize yourself with the
League Rules. It is your responsibility as a member in the league to have a working knowledge of the rules in place & ensure that you follow them. Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse. If you have any questions regarding a rule in place, please contact the
Commissioner for clarification.
Owner Bios
Once you have familiarized yourself with the League Rules, the next step is to send in your Owner Bio information. You can send in your information via the
Owner Bio Form located in the navigation menu to the left under MISCELLANEOUS. You will also need to send in a picture of yourself to the
Commissioner to be used on your individual bio page. The size & format of the picture isn't important as the picture will be converted & resized for use on the league website. If you don't have a digital photo you can send via email, you can either send a regular photo to me via snail mail (contact me for address information) or take your own photo to your local pharmacy/Wal-Mart & use the Kodak Photo center to transfer your file to a floppy disk. This will allow you to take your disk home & send me your file via email. It is a requirement...so don't drag your feet on getting this done.
CSL Forums
The main means of communication for the CSL is the
CSL Forums. You can access the CSL Forums via the link in the navigation menu to the left. The CSL forums is your main method of scheduling your league games & communicating with other members of the CSL. Upon acceptance into the CSL, you should create an account (preferably using the online username you submitted with your application) on the forums. Once your account has been verified by one of the staff, your forum account will be activated. It is recommended that you log in to the forums & update your profile via the
Profile link in the forums. You can fill out as much or as little information in your Profile as you see fit. It is only required that you enter a valid email address in your Profile as league newsletters are often sent out via forum mailing lists. If you have an invalid email address in your profile, you will not be updated with the latest information on the league.
Your next priority is to click on the Usergroups link at the top of the Forums page. Here you will select which forums you want access to. Each league (i.e., NFL, NBA, NHL, etc.) has their own set of forums. By requesting admission to a Usergroup, you will are requesting access to these forums. When you send in your request, the individual league commissioner will be notified of your request. Once he accepts your membership into his Usergroup, you will have access to all of the required forums for the league.
The four main sections in the league forums include the Owner's Room, Scheduling League Games, League Games, Tournament & Ladder & the NFL Commissioner's Office. The Owner's Room forum is primarily used for general discussions amongst league owners. The Scheduling League Games forum is the primary means of setting up games between league opponents. All communications regarding scheduling the game should occur under your game's thread. The League Games forum is for reporting game summaries of your various games. The Tournament & Ladder forum is primarily for notifying league owners of upcoming tournaments. League owners also use this forum to schedule their various tournament match ups. Finally, the Commissioner's Office forum is for reporting complaints against other owners, discussing rules or for any questions you might have for the Commissioner.
