Greetings CDM Affiliate,

As the 2003 Fantasy Sports season prepares to open, CDM Fantasy Sports would like to share with you the many games which are available for you to display on your website. In order to keep you, our valued Affiliate, better informed as well as more aware of your many options throughout the sports year, we will be sending you quarterly newsletters. This will be the first in what we hope will be an informative, useful and profitable tool for our Affiliate Association.

While the primary goal of the newsletter will be to make you aware of upcoming games that you may want to promote, we will also provide you with other tidbits which you may find helpful in increasing your traffic or signups. Additionally, a breakdown of each upcoming game will be provided including information such as the type of sport, style of play, signup dates, deadline dates and costs. Examples of artwork and links will also be provided in each edition. This information will assist you in determining which game or games you feel may best suit your customer base.

This Quarterly Newsletter's tip is a reminder that our signup season is PRIOR to the beginning of the actual sports season being promoted. Your goal is to offer your customers the opportunity to join our various games before the season begins. To wait until the last weeks of Spring Training or Opening Day of Baseball Season to promote one of our fantasy baseball games is a missed opportunity. In order to maximize your referral opportunities, banners and links should be displayed during the months of January, February and March. Once the signup deadline for baseball passes, you need to consider replacing those banners with options from the next set of upcoming games to be promoted. These options include games such as The Hockey News Playoff Challenge, USA TODAY Playoff Basketball Challenge, Tour Trade II Fantasy Golf, and by early summer, our numerous football games. Just remember as each season starts, a new opportunity begins in other sports.

GAMES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO PROMOTE
At the bottom of this newsletter, there is a summary of the six featured games that we recommend promoting now. Five are fantasy baseball games and one is a fantasy golf game. Of the five baseball games, two are rotisserie-style games (Diamond Challenge and Internet Challenge), and three are fantasy-point-style games (Fantasy Baseball 2003, Budget Baseball, and Pick 4 Baseball). By clicking on the game’s logo, you can easily go to its website to access the complete rules, pricing, and prizes.

We also are offering a High Roller Fantasy Baseball game this year with a $1000 entry fee. If you think this game may appeal to your customer base, please feel free to promote it. Banners and artwork are available via the CDM Affiliates website.

GAMES AVAILABLE TO PROMOTE IN THE COMING MONTHS
At the end of this newletter, there is a summary of the four upcoming games that will be available shortly and can be promoted within the next month. IMPORTANT: Three of these four games have a very narrow window for promotion, and thus you’ll need to link to them as soon as they’re available in order to have an impact. These three games are:

The fourth game, Tour Trade II Fantasy Golf, will be available Friday, March 28. Its entry deadline is Wednesday, June 18, and thus there is a 10-week window available for promotion.

As a reminder, to promote a game and receive credit for the entries you generate, you must first put the banners and artwork on your website and link them to our games with your affiliate code. To do this, visit the CDM Affiliates website and use the Graphics and Artwork and Linking Instructions pages. Please feel free to contact us if you are having any problems with this.

We here at CDM Fantasy Sports hope you have found this newsletter helpful. Look for the next edition near the end of May. We look forward to a long and satisfying relationship with you. Should you have any questions or should there be any information which you would like covered in future newsletters, please contact Stephen M. Parker at sparker@cdmsports.com
