This is why she should not get a free pass.She knew better. ANYONE who has played this game very long knows not to wait till the last second to submit a lineup,for this very reason.
If she was new then I might cut her some slack(well,not really) Messing with league rules is a major no-no once the season starts IMO.

Go that route.
. If she does none of this would matter.

There are certainly many reasons to wait last minute to change your lineup. Injuries, game time decsions, trades, etc.Now, she had bye week players in there, and probably should have, definitely should have, changed them out earlier in the week. But, if the league agrees to let the change happen, then I think that is what should happen.
Some of you people sound like fantasy nazis. For the most part, people involved in fantsy leagues do it for fun. With co-workers, family members, friends, etc. Even if there is a fair amount of money involved, the reasoning behind the league is mostly one of joy and pleasure, rather than monetary greed.
Lighten up a little. Enjoy the fact that you get to have a rooting interest in almost every professional football game for the entire season.

Ditto in my league. You have all week to make the changes. If you do so at the last possible minute and it doesn't go through, you're SOL.

Yes but it don't take a fantasy genius to decide that a player being on a bye might not be a solid start-sig heil

You might be right, but I've been a Commissioner for 12 years and by far I have gotten more grief when I grant exceptions to the rules than if I enforce them as they are written. Serious extenuating circumstances like a major illness in the family is one thing. Forgetfulness or technical glitches are another. We had a flood one weekend that involved a number of people in my league. I made allowances for a few weeks for everyone affected. That's entirely reasonable, but that's different from "my lineup didn't stick on the website" --at least to me.Shick! can ban me for being a fantasy nazi.No posts for me -- for one year.

We do this to. League rules require an email to the opponent with the commish copied. In the event that the lineup on the site differs from what the email says for some reason (like in your instance presumably), the email is the operative lineup. This largely takes technical hiccups on a website out of the equation.

I like that idea

If she had emailed you before noon on Sunday, then you should obviously would let her change her lineup. But since she didn't contact you until after the games had started, I say no dice.
I've been on both sides of this. I set my lineup for week 1 this season early in the week, but I couldn't login on Sunday morning to double check my lineup (technical difficulties), so I called my commish and told him my lineup before the games had started so there wouldn't be any foulups.
A couple of season ago I had one week where I forgot to change my lineup, and had 3 players on bye weeks. I didn't even try to approach the commish since I didn't notify him before the games had started (I still blew out whoever I was playing, lol).

I'm a commissioner in one league, and an owner in a couple of others...and I had a similar thing happen to me once -- I put in a lineup change AND VERIFIED IT, and later when I looked, it had reverted. This was in the abomination that was Foxsports.
Anyway, I had no proof whatsoever that I had made the changes. I took a loss. As an owner, that seems to me the only reasonable thing....asking another owner to take me at my word is asking a lot; and is setting myself up for future issues, I think.
As a commissioner, if I receive an eMail or a phone call telling me about problems updating a lineup BEFORE THE GAMES BEGIN, then I will make the changes for them, even if after the fact. But they need to notify me before the games begin.

...also, I never understood the "illegal lineup" thing. If an owner, for whatever reason, chooses not to fill a position and still wins the game, then it's a win, I think.
Just this week, in my son's league going into last night's game, my son's team was done, and was losing by fractional points. The other player still had Crumpler to go. The one slim chance my son had was for Crumpler to post negative points (a fumble would do it). Just before the game, the other owner pulled Crumpler and played no tight end at all.
My son whined about it, called him a weenie...but it seems like a smart move, to me.
