Who should be sided with in this fantasy football situation?

[stillbr]

Person B scored 107 pts.

Person A scrored 90 pts.

Here is the problem though. Person A called the Commishes cell phone at 1130am on sunday to tell him that he was unable to get to a computer and to sub two of his players. The players he wanted subed were Heath Miller for LJ smith, and Keenan Mcardell for Hines ward. However because the commish was out of town and didnt listen to his messages he was unable to sub those players. If they had been subed player A would have scored 108, beating Person B.

So..who should be sided with? Should the commish side with A because he was left a message before the games started? or should the commish side with person B because this is just part of fantasy & person A could have easily called someone else and gotten them to do it?

Are you guys [censored] serious? If this is a friendly league (not just random dudes) and the guy had no computer access and called the commish beforehand to tell him is real starters then those should be his starters.

grow up and have some respect.

Player A tards you are supposed to make last minute lineup changes and not be punished cause you dont have computer access at that time.

Look, if it's an online league, then it's a league that demands computer access. I am my league's commissioner, and if someone called me at 11:30AM on a Sunday to tell me their starting lineup changes, I'd:
1) Be pissed off because I do not wake up on Sunday UNTIL (or sometimes after) the games have started.
2) Tell them to go F themselves.

If you don't care enough to plan further ahead than a half hour, you're a douchebag idiot who shouldn't expect the commissioner to do your work for you...and that kind of dedication is deserving of a loss.

This happens all of the time in fantasy football. You make changes on gameday. Sometimes it's injuries or weather or match-ups, but you make changes. If the guy got laid last night and the girl doesn't have a computer, or if his server is down, it's not his fault.

I had a situation this year where one of the guys in my league was at my house trying to change Greg Jones for Tatum Bell at the last minute when he heard that Fred Taylor was going to start. Even though it was 12:58 Yahoo had locked the line-up. He called the commissoner and the guy he was playing, used me as a witness and ended up in a tie instead of winning by a point.

Being commish is more than just running the draft and paying out money. You have to be the moderator for all decisions. And you have to run the league.

If you are too lazy or busy to make changes when an owner calls you to make them then you have no business being commissioner.
