Tough Commish question please respond

[skiman4235 0]

Brief history on the league. 12 team total pot $1500, free pickups and trades very competitive. 1st takes 65% pot. Our playoffs start in week#14 so this was our last week. There was a close race in the one division to make playoffs. Team A was 7-4-1 Team B was 7-5 and Team C was 6-6 with most total fantasy points. Our tie breaker is team with most fantasy points. Team A played Team B and needed to win in order for Team C who also had to win to make playoffs. Well, Team A lost, and Team C won so it appeared Team C would be eliminated from Playoffs.

 

Well this is where is gets hairy. Team C apparently went back and hand scored (we use CBS sportsline) all of his, Team A and Team B scores looking for any possible errors. Low and behold he found one. The week Team A got his tie, C found that Team A actually should have lost because CBS did not credit rivers with his 2 pt. conversion. When you go back and score it, sure enough he's right. This would give Team A a loss and tie him with C for record and Team C would get in to the playoffs by points.

 

When the commish investigated this he found that somehow at some point he accidentaly??? made QB 2 pt. conversions 0 thus why CBS scored it this way. Despite having 2 pt. passing conversions the past 6 years of league and not vote to change it, the commissh states he will not change it because thats how he had it in the rules because he at some point made a mistake. He acknowledges that he made a error, and knows what is right, but will not change it.

 

My question is, what would the rest of you all do. Please give me honest opinions, im not one to take offense and begin attacking people. Just want everyone to have a fair shot.

thanks for answering mine

 

bottom line/ your commish sucks

you need to get a vote from everyone in your league and see what the majority wants to do(options being rescore every game counting 2 point conversions or not). whatever the majority votes is what should happen.

It seems kind of fishy that the commish would change that rule. Did he benefit from that change at any point in the season? Did he truly change it before the season started? Since a good sum of money is involved, dont be surprised when someone starts doing shady things.

 

In the future, your commish needs to be up front about any/all changes

this is a perfect example of poor communication and what can happen when the man in charge is asleep at the wheel; maybe you should find another commish for next season?

Well..the $1500 is a big deal...but I wouldn't automatically attack the commish like that without proof. If CBS is like ESPN the commish would not be able to change league settings without it showing up. People do shady things, yes, but accidents and mistakes also happen. Don't be like the rest of America where suing is the way to handle every little mistake. From what you wrote I don't see proof, just that it is noticed that 2-pt conversions are worth 0. If it was like that at the beginning, then Team C and everyone else in the league should've said something. They are equally responsible for checking the scoring rules before the draft and during play. If it was like that at the beginning, than everyone still played by the same rules and had equal opportunities to not get 2-pt conversions (by QB, RB, or WR). That would've simply gave more incentive to go for your kicker getting the extra point instead of losing it. I would look back through all the transaction logs and look where scores may have been changed. If CBS doesn't log it (like ESPN) they you should complain about them too because it would be too easy to cheat! Otherwise, do the vote thing and see what happens. It may turn out good or you may piss off more person than Team C (I assume you're Team C?)
