In terms of unique things: I don't know how unique this is, but community member f.montoya (who runs the AllSimBaseball hosting service our league uses) recently clued me into Yugma, an online service that lets you broadcast your desktop for others to view. This allows us to conduct "live" games that really are live. Instead of just watching a refreshing box score, up to 10 owners can watch a game being played out as if they were sitting in front of my home computer. We'll be employing this for the first time during our championship series. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works. |
On a related sort of thing, Yuuguu allows you to broadcast your screen as well. We've had more than 10 people viewing the games in our league, and haven't run into any user limits yet.
Also, if you have more than one computer or more than one screen, you can use a broadcasting program like that to allow managers to manage their games. We've done that a couple of times in our league so far and it works pretty well.
