It's not working for me. It says I don't have access to the pool. My CBS account is malt661. Invite me!

trying to sign up but it is giving me an error message saying I need an invitation from the league commissioner to join. Any thoughts?

Sorry about that. I emailed CBS sports. They suggest making sure you are registered at CBS sports first . Let me know if that works. Here is what they had to say:

Yes, the system will require each member to have his/her own unique and password in order to access your pool. Make sure they create IDs before accessing the invitation link and using the pool password

yup, I have a CBS Sports account. It comes up saying "You logged in as fodita (my username), which does not have access to this league." There is no place for me to enter the group password to be granted access.

here is the only thing I see on my screen copied and pasted verbatim…

This is a private fantasy league. You are logged in with userid 'fodita', which does not have access to this league. If you think this is wrong, please contact the league commissioner and ask for an invite.
