    So I've been on CBS since 1999. Paying $150 in a $300 entry, 10-team league (bringing payout $ down to $2850) seems absurd. Help me out - is it worth $15 per team or is it time to move on? I don't care about our "history"--if it's a comparable product, I think that $150 is better spent on prize money. Thoughts?

     

    More importantly, where to go? I'm the commissioner.

     

    Thanks.

    Enjoy squeaking out your week 2 SB win at home. I think your defense should now be mentioned in the same breath with the 85 Bears and the Steel Curtain of the 70's. :pointstosky: Yes it would have been different with Welker, see you in Nov.

     

    yes, with welker the pats eeked one out against buffalo. well done. pats are an 8-8 team this year.

     

    the jets have a bigger challenge next week with tennessee visiting.

    ouch. this hurts, but i (as commish) would have to give it to him. it's part of your league's long-time rules.

     

    but here's the unfortunate kicker - commish would have to look for every other 2-pt conversion unless you knew 100% that it wouldn't make a difference elsewhere. if it was the league's 1st season, i'd say tough crap on team C. but if you guys used 2-pts conversions for 6 years & the commish messed up, it's his mess to clean... imo.

     

    no one looked for a 2-pt rule change because everyone FAIRLY assumed that it wouldn't be there. in such an established league, commish has to make good on his error - no matter what that means. i'd ask the other teams to waive the 2-pointers & whichever ones did not agree... tough on me. one thing though -- you can probably retro-apply the scoring change. if your league allows for that, this is an EASY decision. you go back to the old un-vetoed rule. good luck. that sucks.

     

     

     

    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.

    leaving it up to the person he was playing is worse than being consistant and actually ALLOWING the change. oponents should NEVER get to determine what you do as comishioner because any decision you make this week, could affect ANY or all of the teams in the future.

     

    doing the right thing is letting the guy take a zero for his qb because 1 of 3 things happened:

    1... he didnt know there was a thursday game..... no reason NOT to know if youre managing your team correctly

    2... he didn't know Anderson was benched......... see thing that happened #1

    3... he knew Anderson was benched and there was a thursday game but just forgot..... .... same answer....

    tell him the right thing to do is help him realize that in fantasy football.... as in the real world...there is usually consequences to mistakes you make. oh and tell him there are thursday games the rest of the year so be careful.

     

    da budman makes several good points. i was also going to point out that results don't only effect ONE team - that's short-sighted thinking.

     

    fantasy football is a form of gambling - even if it's for no money & you're just gambling your pride. i wonder if this guy would tell a bookie that he meant to bet cleveland an hour after the game. :headbanger:

     

    & "i suggest you do the right thing" is pretty damn presumptuous. i'm the commish in my league & this would be a no-brainer - he's SOL. the only way i'd let this fly is if he posted to the league board just before actual gametime - some sites lock you out a few minutes early. i allow posting TO ALL if you meant to do something, but couldn't. this guy has no excuse.
