Commissioner wants to change scoring system NOW (1 Viewer)

So now the commish wants to adjust/change the scoring system. It was set up as PPR and well now he is saying that the scoring system now favors the WR's a lot cause there are 1 point for ever reception.

RB and QB on the other hand, don't get points for completions or rusing attempts. I told him that he can't change the scoring for the PPR as we already started and that would be not right for people who drafted accordingly; but that we could add that 1 point per every 5 pass completion and/or 1 point per every 5 rushing attempt or something like that.

Reason: He has Carson Palmer and today Palmer scored 43 points in our league, and I have Chad Johnson & Steve Smith (they both scored 44 points each). He's arguing that we should adjust it for next week and for the rest of the season cause how in the world did Palmer throw for 400 yards and 6 td's and score less than Chad and Steve.

I told him that as of right now, it's 1 point for every 20 yards.

Plus

Award 4 points for passing touchdowns in the range of 0 to 20.

Award 5 points for passing touchdowns in the range of 21 to 40.

Award 6 points for passing touchdowns in the range of 41 to 60.

Award 7 points for passing touchdowns in the range of 61 to 100.

Is this fair ? To change the scoring after 2 weeks now?

 
changing a scoring rule after the draft is over, much less the season started, is flat out heinous.

he doesn't deserve nor understand the role of a commissioner if he's even contemplating it.

 
According to our league rules, during the season it takes Unanimous decision on any votes to change ANYTHING related to rules during the season. Your league should have a rule regarding this situation. If not, see the RULES EVERY LEAGUE SHOULD HAVE topic in the FBG SP forum. Therefore, put it to a league vote and if EVERYONE wants to change a rule then by all means do it. But, if one person dissents wait until off-season to tinker with your point system. Good Luck, Jeremy.

 
The season has started, it's stupid to even suggest changing things up. Make a note of it, and vote before the draft if you guys want to change it for next year.

 
It makes no difference if the WR outscores the QB or if the kicker outscores them all. QBs are scored against QBs and WRs against WRs. There is no way you can switch from a PPR to a non-PPR after the draft. No way.

 
Your commish is just PO'd because he really did not think through the whole rule change to PPR and now he sees it for what it is. Maybe he did not draft accordingly either. Insist it remains as is until the season is over. Vote on it after the season is over. The league at least has to play it out over the course of the season, especially if it was voted on by all league members before being implemented.

My :rolleyes:

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

1. He is crying and whining because he obviously didn't draft appropriately.

2. Any league I have ever been in that changed the rules mid-season, has had nothing BUT fighting, accusing, arguing all year and falling apart the NEXT.

3. I am in 3 leagues now (Commissioner of 1) and the very FIRST rule in our rule book is "No rule changes during the year". Once ppl have paid and drafted accordingly to the rulebook, it is nothing BUT UNFAIR to change the rules midseason after everyone has paid and drafted. Especially, for something like this to help someone because they drafted incorrectly.

 
Not only is this ridiculous, the fact that it's coming from the commish is a huge red flag in my book...

Depending on the $ and the possible personal relationships involved I would think seriously about walking away from this league...clearly rational and impartial thinking isn't being used to make league decisions...

Thats ######ed. If owners are smart they draft according to the pts in your league, you cant just go #### with that after the season has started.

 
Thanks for your comments guys.

The commish is a good friend of mine. He called me up earlier and discussed it with me and that he wants to throw it out theere and have the rest of the league think about it and all.

I told him that I do not agree with it cause I drafted according to our scoring system. I can't be penalized for drafting WR WR while they all went RB RB and all. Also that the season already started so it really isn't fair to change or to adjust it.

I'll see what he does and go from there. Thanks guys.

 
I have no problem with changing the scoring rules midseason IF there is UNANIMOUS agreement to do so. Otherwise, forget it.

If He had those players, I bet this wouldn't had even come up. IMO this shouldn't even come to a vote.
 
No rule changes after the season starts -- period. I disagree with allowing a change of the rules based on a vote from the majority. If the majority of the league did not prepare for the draft by learning the scoring system and agree to change the rules, those that did their homework and drafted according to the scoring system will be penalized. Unfathomable. Inconceivable.

Echoing what everyone else said: :lmao: on the italicized.

:yes: on the bolded. And for the same reason you can't change it from PPR.

Is your commish a rookie FF player? Tell commish to suck up his decisions and to think things thorugh before the draft next year. You objected to removing PPR, end of discussion. Only way any rule should be changed is if there is unanimous consent. A single holdout kills the rule change.

What a terrible idea. I guess he could put it up for a league vote which required unanimous consent, which I assume you wouldn't give. There's no way you guys should be changing something so fundamental during the season.

 
Obviously the only way to resolve this is allow the commish to alter the scoring each week so that he wins every game.

:shrug:I mean seriously, who does this stuff?
 
Ridiculous. You cannot change anything for this season now. If he wants to vote for next year, no problem.

His fault for not drafting according to your league's scoring, and yes, like others have said, I'd try to get rid of him as commish.

No. It's not fair to change the scoring system after the draft. I'm actually in the middle of a problem in my main league with the new commish who has done this on his own and completely screwed up the scoring.

The minor

Upped IDP scoring +1 per sack, INT, FF after draft.

The major

Pre-draft: QB Passing 1pt per 25 yrds (which was changed 2 days before draft from 1pt per 40 yrds, but it was before draft)

Post-draft: QB Passing 1pt per 10 yrds :mellow:

Prior to Wk 2: QB Passing 1pt per 15 yrds (better, but shouldn't change it at all)

The Ugly

All INTs, Fumbles recovered for TD, Punts/Kick returns for TD all = 18 pts. Why?

He thought IDP scoring was too low. He added Total Defensive/Special Teams TD scoring = 6pts, Total Defense TD = 6pts and when you combine that with the already added kick/punt returns for TD = 6pts, FRTD and INT TDs = 6 pts, they all stacked and made it like 1 TD was 3 TDs. After 5 owners complained about this exploit after week 1, he refuses to change it and just says "your week will come".

The only reason he's the commish this year is that the old commish didn't feel like doing it this year and this guy decided he would pay for the Platinum league (by himself) on CBS. So, his money, his league, his rules. The former commish is going back to commishing next year. We won't put up with this anymore. Sadly, after wasting a month trying to decide on a draft date, cancelling 2 dates, and finally having the 6 hour draft, we're going to put up with it for the rest of the season.

I may just move the league without his approval if everyone else agrees to it. It's only week 2. Who knows what else he'll do.

/End :confused: Sorry so long.

Yeah...sure....

Changing the scoring rules after Week 1 would be like changing the game after you've looked at your cards....

It's unheard of...

The commish is just plain dumb.
 
I think it's okay to change whatever you want whenever you want, as long as the changes are unanimously approved. If everyone is cool with it, no harm done. But if even one person says no, you shouldn't do it. They drafted based on one set of rules, and it's not fair to change it up on them now.

Owners that change rules midstream are pretty awful. I had one do it repeatedly so I had to drop out of his league after a few seasons. Guy even owns a FF website, Wreubelnomics or something, he knows who he is.
