So you think your league is tough? Try this one on for size.

Our third annual 30-team "CBSSports.com vs. the World" Fanatsy Basketball league is drafting and by the time we're done, 360 players will have been selected. You know how when you scrounge through the waiver wire sometimes you come up on a guy who is owned in one percent of leagues and it surprises you to know he's owned in any league? Well, this is the type of league that player is owned in.

Fantasy owners in standard leagues may think, "How does this help me?" Well, pay close attention to the picks. Who gets picked in front of who? Why is this guy going ahead of that guy? And where did the players you are targeting in your draft go?

This type of league may also encourage you to shake things up a little. Using our highly customizable features in Commissioner leagues on CBSSports.com, you can set your league up in a variety of ways. This particular league is set up so that each team plays two Head-to-Head matchups simultaneously -- one game within their conference, and one against the opposing conference. It's Head-to-Head, but based on categories. The team with the most amount of categories won each week takes the matchup. So, it's like a Head-to-Head and Rotisserie league rolled into one. It's the best of both worlds.

The first two years of this league have been split evenly, with CBSSports.com taking the inaugural edition and the World coming away with the honors last season. The defending champion is Brian Flood, a former Fantasy writer who worked with us here at CBSSports.com and also worked with RotoWorld.com. He represents the World side these days and helped to co-found the league. So, while he's not writing about Fantasy these days, he's done enough to stick around. There are some very knowledgeble minds on both sides and we are happy to have everyone on board for another season. Throughout the year, you'll be able to follow the league here on CBSSports.com.
