It’s a thankless job, and a lot more work at times than folks realize.
For example, this morning at 07:45 AM, 3 days before the draft, one league member had a family emergency. He has to miss the draft.
We have 3 people coming in from out of state: hotels & non-refundable plane tix, all the fixins. Plus the league needing 12 people, not 11.
I suggested finding a proxy so he didn’t lose his spot in the league - in all the panic & dealing with his own issues that hadn’t occurred to him. He was so relieved at the suggestion & started calling around. Thankfully one of the guys in the league’s brother is available, and is a mutual friend of this league manager. He’s also a dude in my FBB league so I know him well, he’s a fun dude, and is psyched for the pizza & beer.
Just one more league disaster narrowly averted of the 6,747,261 over the least 20 years I’ve commished for this league.
To all the commissioners: I’m sure you’ve all got your own last minute white-knuckle crisis situations you’ve had to navigate over the years. And for that, you have my respect.
Kudos to you; commissioners. Like slightly less geeky dungeon masters, we couldn’t play this game without you.
