Disputers, Jurors & FSC fans,

First off, we just wanted to give you guys a huge shout out for supporting the launch of www.fantasysportcourt.com over the past two weeks. We could not be more excited with the initial success and buzz we are receiving. In our first two weeks, we have resolved some amazing disputes in a timely and unbiased manner, which is exactly what we set out to do. As well, we partnered with MLSE’s Team Up Foundation for the next year (Are you interested in donating your time? If so, send us an email). Finally, one of the most exciting turn of events during our launch week, was when our CEO was asked to participate on a radio show, called “The Program” to discuss how we are changing the game for dispute resolution.

The feature dispute that garnered the most voting and commenting was Will Carroll (SI.com Contributor) vs. Jeff Kinch (NFLFanFreeAgent Contributor) as they went head-2-head on which sport is the best fantasy sport? Baseball and all of its complexity edged out Football and all of its simplicity by a count of 15 to 14. Who ever said men were simple? Check out the closed case here: http://fantasysportcourt.com/dispute/fbbf308cf6a55ecfd4bc8811dea75508

The most popular dispute, which is still active, is the dispute where Tim McMenamin brought Robert Crnkovic to court to settle the score on an expired bet. At the time this communication was written, the count was a dead-lock 20 to 20 (57 comments).

Interestingly but not surprisingly, as witnessed by the latter dispute we are seeing http://www.fantasysportcourt.com being used to resolve disputes outside of fantasy sports. We will continue to support this assuming that is the direction YOU (our community of jurors) would like to take it. Ultimately, we just set out to provide our community with a platform to resolve disputes in an unbiased and timely fashion….looks like we are succeeding and that is all THANKS TO YOU!

We announced on September 22nd, 2011 that we will be donating $1.00 CDN to the MLSE Team Up Foundation (mlseteamupfoundation.org/) for the first 500 disputes entered into http://www.fantasysportcourt.com. So far, we are at 36 and counting. Please pass this on to your friends so we can get to 500 as soon as possible.

Please continue to provide us with your candid feedback either through our website or by emailing us directly. We want to make resolving your disputes the best experience possible.

Cheers,

FSC Team
