Alright… I’m ready for ponzi and nthompso to come on here and have their fun.  OneSeason closed down shop OUT OF NOWHERE.  Screwing all of us who believed in them long term and kept some money in SOI’s.  That is just terrible, terrible, terrible business.  I mean luckily I personally had cashed out some SOI’s along the way but I still had tons of money in the site and lots of SOI’s.  The jokes on me and the rest of us diehards who believed in OneSeason.  Geee, thanks for sending me my cash balance.  And thanks for dissolving ALL SOI’s I had.  LOL.  What a joke.  Here is the official press release.  Heck, just go to their site and you’ll see it.

We are disappointed to report the closure of OneSeason.com.

Cash balances in OneSeason accounts will be transferred to respective users by hard check mailed via U.S. Postal Service.  Reserved Cash and funds tied to fantasy games in progress have been released to Cash.  Please note that SOIs are virtual goods that existed only on OneSeason.com and therefore have been dissolved.

You can login to your account in order to view the transfer history but all other functionality on the site is now turned off.  If you have not received your check by Dec. 15th please shoot us a note.

This end of service may come as an unpleasant surprise and is certainly not the outcome we hoped to achieve.  Unfortunately we have not been able to create a sustainable business and do not have the resources to continue operating.

We hope that you enjoyed the service.  Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way and created such an amazing community of fans exploring new ways to enjoy sports.

Best Regards,

-Mike & The OneSeason Team

So I guess this means OneSeason Trader will be closing shortly after.  It was a fun year while it lasted.  I am disappointed they handled this the way they did and I feel really bad for those of you who have not cashed out at all and were holding onto your shares.  What a bad night.

Later,
Knup

Roy Halladay was released into the OneSeason world yesterday.  Go request a few shares today if you haven’t already.  He’ll be available to trade later this afternoon.

Nice timing as Michael Vick will play in his first NFL game in years this Sunday.  OneSeason dropped the VICK IPO just minutes ago.  Go request your shares and get your IPO!

OSFantasy listened to people’s desires and is pleased to bring you it’s newest game.  Think of it as an NCAA tournament for your NFL SOI’s.  32 teams, each with a starting QB, 2 WR’s, and 2 RB’s will be paired up at the start.  Head-to-Head outcomes each week are based on a traditional fantasy scoring system, with multipliers factored in depending on your players’ ownership %’s.  Win, and you move on.  Lose, and you go home.

Check it out at www.osfantasy.com

There is a new article published in the SMU local newspaper.  For those of you that don’t know, Mike Sroka, CEO of OneSeason, went to school at SMU.  You can find the full article here.

Today Brandon Jacobs IPO was announced on OneSeason.  Be sure to get your request in and get your shares of the big running back.  He could be quite valuable in Fantasy Tycoons.

We think the market cap will settle somewhere around $3300 range.  But remember, NFL is approaching and GORE is a top RB in any fantasy league.

Hello Traders… First of all sorry about the lack of posts lately.  I have been a vacation fool (or maybe just a fool) this summer so have not been around to cater to  your OST needs lately.  I wanted to get your input on something.

As you know, OneSeason revamped their Trading page and a few things are now missing.  One in particular is the Last 10 Trades that used to show up.  I personally miss this list a lot.  It was a lot of fun to watch the recent orders that got placed.  Sometimes you could quickly find a good buy/sell that was placed and jump on it before anyone else.  My question to you is in the poll below and on the right of OST.

I would appreciate your input and would love to see some comments below about what you think about the new Trading page in general.

So OneSeason communicated in their weekly update email that they had some BIG stuff on the horizon that users will be VERY excited about.  What could these things be?  I ask you – what could OS do that would genuinely “excite” you right now?

Their first course of action was to open up shop to Canadian users.  I know this was a hot request back in the day but I’m not sure truly how many users from Canada were just dying to get in.  My gut tells me not many.  But regardless, it’s a step in the right direction and opens the market up to more people, which can’t be a bad thing.  So if you feel OS will start booming in Canada, but up your Steve Nash and NHL players and cash in    Any thoughts on Canada?
