Re: Who should be sided with in this fantasy football situation?
We need a clarification on whether lineups can be changed after some games have been played, as long as the changes don't involve players in already played games. For example, a league I play in requires full lineups in before the kickoff of the first game of the week, and you can't make changes (this really sucks on Thanksgiving, when you have to set a full lineup on Thursday even though you might not have a single player in Thanksgiving day games).
If lineup changes just have to be made before the two players have played, which is the standard in FF these days, then this isn't remotely [censored] close. Player A sent a communication to the commish that is verifiably before kickoff.
And as TNM said, it doesn't matter whether it's a fun league or a money league. Stakes do not affect the decision, nor does the emotional investment (fun vs. serious).
I can't believe anyone is siding with Player B here. The only legit reason for the changes to be ignored is the aforementioned "full lineups before first kickoff" situation. stillbr didn't specify anything about this rule, but it's reasonable to assume that they operate under the more standard lineup rules.
Again, Player A. Not close.
