Fantasy football meltdown

I have teams in several of the major fantasy football games and this season there seem to be problems. The Telegraph game site all but collapsed yesterday and so they started offering you the facility of signing up over the telephone, not that anyone answered the telephone number. This morning they have started offering you the ability to sign up via email and pay next week. A good idea but where does that leave people who have already signed up but want to make changes to their team before the 12:45 deadline? I'll tell you where, screwed as the site is "up and down like a whores drawers" and who has the patience to keep on trying on a Saturday with chores to be done?

Meanwhile Fantasy League have made so many webby "improvements" to their site that it is all but unusable and is also suffering availability problems.

How are the other fantasy football sites faring? Why do these companies not factor in that people might actually want to use their site quite heavily in the last few days of pre-season?
