Re: Who should be sided with in this fantasy football situation?

There were games Saturday, A should have had his lineup set already (come on, it's the playoffs, pay attention.) A gave his commish less than 2 hours notice, I say tough [censored]. That is why you set your lineup at the beginning of the week and keep yourself updated as the week progresses (serious owners do this on a daily basis.)

Whether or not someone is a serious FFer or a casual FFer doesn't matter. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and you can't penalize someone because, "Well, he should have had it in way before deadline anyway, so [censored] 'im."
Well, you can. But you'll have a tough time keeping a league together if you're that much of a dick as commish.

Let us put the shoe on the other foot, if the two players he wanted to sub actually scored LESS, and then the commish finds out about this message, what do you think A would say then?
[/ QUOTE ]
Who cares?
He notified the commish before kickoff of games involving his players to make a lineup change due to lack of computer access. His intentions and the time of his message are verifiable.
This decision is not affected by whether money is on the line, when in the week the call was made (as long as it was before kickoff) or what points were scored by the players he was subbing.
The only factor here is whether this league considers it legitimate to contact the commish to make roster changes for a player. If each player is required to arrange for changes to be made on his own before gametime, then his call was nothing more than a friend trying to get a friend to help him out in time and failing to get through - Person B wins. If the commish is a legitimate person to report intended changes to (instead of inputting them yourself, or getting someone to do it for you), then Person A wins.
Every league I've ever played in would view it as Person A winning.
