Commish didn't set a lineup

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Commish didn't set a lineup

Postby mzkp54 » Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:53 pm

So the commish of my league is one of two teams in contention for pick 1.01 next year. I have the other pick (not my team). Those two teams were both 0-5 and faced each other this week, and the commish didn't set a lineup. He started Kerryon Johnson (on a bye) and Rhett Ellison (inactive, although his other two TE are Eifert and Engram so no better option there).

He ended up losing by a good amount. Those two spots wouldn't have gotten him the win. However, the bylaws say:

It is imperative for the integrity of the league that teams found after a commissioner’s investigation to be tanking or just flat out failed to submit a lineup for a particular week’s games, the following steps will be enforced.
1. First Offense – A public warning will be issued to the offending owner on the forums and via private email registered with the league. A loss will be awarded to the team in the league standings and an unofficial win awarded in regards to draft pick position.

Do you say something in my shoes? I'm obviously the only one who cares since this could lock up 1.01 for me. Don't want to be 'that guy' but seems like an important matchup. Thoughts?

I think it's completely okay to bring it up. It is clearly stated in the by laws and they pretty much exactly state the actual situation. He should hopefully be understanding and act professional as the commish. Bring it up, good luck.

I will never endorse tanking. We just kicked out an owner after this weekend for this very issue and have another on a warning.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Yea you have to bring it up or no one else likely will. If the commish doesnt agree then time to find another league... it's written in his bylaws...

Yea, its pretty clear what his penalty should be per your post:

"A loss will be awarded to the team in the league standings and an unofficial win awarded in regards to draft pick position."

I would simply state publicly that you are curious how this is updated in the standing on your local website.

Not only do you say something, but you hold him accountable to the rules that he presumably came up with.
