Collie- won with 36- 2nd place 35Mark Clayton- won with 8- Second place 7Kiwanuka- Won with 12- second place 11Brandon Lloyd- Won with 3- Second place 2Hillis- Won with 18- Second place 17I wouldn't have a problem if there was some system to the bids, but as you can see there is none.
It doesn't look good. I would defeinitely suggest locking out the commissioner from seeing blind bids.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here with the following definitive conclusions:1) Your commish cheated2) Your commish is an idiotI'd have him removed from the league at once and request your $$ back.
There is not a way to find out if the commish looked.I am a commish in 3 leagues and it was brought up last year that I was not locked out (I didn't really know about the option at the time). When was brought up in 2 leagues I was more than happy to lock my self out of all 3. Even though I was not looking at anything, I didn't want to make it look like I even had a chance to do so as the integrity of the league itself would be gone.Please suggest it in your league, if there is resistance by the commish, I would say there is a good chance he was peaking. He shouldn't even put it to a vote, he should just do it once it's suggested.FYI, anytime an owner makes a mistake and the commish has to make a move for that owner, he will have to give himself the ability to see pending transactions. If he does this, an e-mail will be sent to everyone in the league when he can see, and then again when he puts it back.
How do you see what everyone bid on MFL? or did everyone just tell you what 2nd place was?
Also, if he asks how to change so he's locked out, he needs to go to: For Commissioners>Setup. Then, under Commissioner/Franchise Setup, click on Abilities Setup. On the bottom, there is a Commissioner Abilities box with the Lockout. Yes to be able to view, No to lock himself out.
I go to Reports>Franchise>Previously Processed Waivers and you can see all the bids. I'm assuming that he didn't know I could check it. I sent MFL an email to see if they can check and see if he peaked, but I'm not hopeful to get anything back.
He is very weak at WR, so I can definitely see why he wanted the WR's. It is a very big play IDP league (10 pts. per sack) so Kiwanuka was a solid pickup also. He owns Harrison, so Hillis is a no brainer also.
Not really anymore. It is a league that started about 25 years ago in the years of getting a USA today and doing the stats yourself, so we are all pretty tight. He is a newer addition, but he is also the son of another member. We rotate commish duties every now and then, so I guess I'm just going to suggest the commish lockout and have someone else take over the duties next year. League dues are $100 and it is very competitive, but I don't want to cause a big fight amongst friends if it can be avoided. Heck, if he cheated to pick up guys like Lloyd he can have them.
We didn't have a proxy last year, and it should've carried over from that league. Regardless, I will ask if we have one.
That's unfortunate. You know your league and your friends but this is NOT a guy I'd want in my league. Just removing his commish duties next year isn't enough, IMO. This guy is using his power to his advantage to cheat friends and to cheat them out of their money. If you guys have a draft party and you saw this guy steal some money out of someone's wallet, would you not say anything because "you don't want to cause a big fight amongst friends"? I'd be pretty pissed if you didn't bring it up, tbh. And what he did is really no different.
I'm guessing that he didn't lose out on any bids either. What a maroon - doesn't even try and obscure the fact that he's a cheating #@*%#.
It's an option to allow all league members to see all of the bids or just the winning bid.
As a Commish, I would like to turn this feature on, so I don't get accused of cheatin, can you tell me where to do it?
I put it in my 2nd post I think in this thread:"Also, if he asks how to change so he's locked out, he needs to go to: For Commissioners>Setup. Then, under Commissioner/Franchise Setup, click on Abilities Setup. On the bottom, there is a Commissioner Abilities box with the Lockout. Yes to be able to view, No to lock himself out."
This. Kill your commish.
I can understand if you want to give the guy a second chance after this is brought to light, but it definitely needs to be addressed. Since it is 99.9% obivious that he cheated (the odds of him being within a dollar on 5 separate bids is far too impossible), the most fair outcome would be to make him reverse those 5 transactions and give the player to the 2nd place bidder. Since you can't prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and he most likely won't confess, you'll have to settle for him locking himself out this year and making sure he is never commissioner again.Try emailing him directly first as a courtesy(undeserved in my opinion), and if that doesn't work, put your concern on the message board or a group email to the other members. Let us know how it turns out.
In the preseason I setup a test league and tried a number of scenarios with ladder bidding. It never worked. This isn't a case of ladder bidding.
Yeah, I described it up the thread a little. Someone said that it had to be turned on via the abilities page.
If the Commish is not a cheater, he should go Vegas because he is the luckiest SOB on the planet.
I agree that it is obvious that he cheated, but given the long term personal relationships, you want to tread carefully with how you handle it. But, make no mistake about it, something needs to be done.
You should be able to check when he logged in as Commish and check when he placed his WW bids. If they were at the same time, you have more fuel to feed this fire.Not a good situation. Ask for another commish to take over????
