INTEGRUTY OF THE LEAGUE
I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE READS THIS. MY FREINDS AND I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 17 YRS. WE PLAY FAIR AND EXPECT YOU TO ALSO. I WILL AS COMMISIONER RESERVE THE RIGHT TO HOLD ANY OWNER ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY UNFAIR PLAY. UP TO AND INCLUDING DISMISAL FROM THE LEAGUE. UNFAIR PLAY HURTS THE LEAGUE IN MANY WAYS AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. I WILL NOT DISPUTE ANY QUESTIONABLE LINE UPS, MEANING WHO AM I TO SAY A WR2 WONT DO BETTER ON A GIVEN SUNDAY THAN A WR1. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE STARTING BACKUP RUNNINGBACKS AND FULLBACKS OVER REGULAR STARTERS, I WILL CHANGE THE ROSTER.
I DO UNDERSTAND BAD SEASONS AND THE NEED TO REBUILD, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS BEFORE THE INTERNET MADE IT EASIER, BUT CHEATING AND OR BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE LEAGUE IN NOT BE ALLOWED.
TRADES WILL BE REVIEWED AND I WILL HOLD THE RIGHT TO VETO ANY TRADE THAT I THINK IS BOGUS. WE HAVE HAD THIS RULE IN EVERY LEAGUE WE RUN AND HAVE NEVER USED IT, HOWEVER THE RULE IS IN PLACE.
I WILL HAVE CO-COMMISIONERS AS I (WE) DRIVE TRUCK AND DONT ALWAYS HAVE INTERNET SERVICE. EVERY TEAM OWNER WILL HAVE ACCESS TO US, OUR EMAILS AND/OR TELEPHONE NUMBERS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE SIGHT. NONE OF THE CO-COMMISIONERS WILL HAVE THE PERMISSION TO CHANGE ANYTHING WITHOUT TALKING TO ME FIRST. WE HAVE RUN LEAGUES, ONE OF WHICH STARTED ON MY KITCHEN TABLE WITH PAPER AND PENCIL AND IS NOW A DYNASTY LEAGUE ON CBS FOR THE LAST 10 PLUS YEARS, WITH INTEGRITY AND COMPETITIVE SPIRIT.
WE ARE NOT BULLIES, THIS IS OPEN TO ALL OWNERS TO EXPRESS THERE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WILL BE SUBJECT TO A VOTE. MY VOTE WILL COUNT AS TWO, AS TO AVOID TIES.
