This is a great league with a great cast. The commish has been the commish since the league first started back in April of 2002 (real time!) and many of the members are quite active and friendly. If you're into fictional leagues at all, IMO you'll be hard-pressed to find a better league.
Probably the biggest key to winning in the CBL is to not overpay for guys. You'll quickly notice that the best teams are pretty frugal when it comes to their finances and they often let some good players just walk away if they want too much. It can be awfully tempting to pay whatever a FA wants to bring him to your team, but it's also the quickest way to dig yourself a hole from which it may take seasons to dig yourself out of. Still, there are some FAs that are well worth whatever they want, like one of the best aces in the league, but many of the players will not only take your wallet, but much of your organization's future too if you let them. Play it smart, however, and you should do well.
