"last wednesday" Did you mean two days ago? If that is when you reset stuff and only gave the guy a day to correct his lineup, then put Manning in. Not everybody checks their teams EVERYDAY. If it was 9 days ago, screw owner #1 and say too bad for not checking his line-up for so long.

What should commish do? (1 Viewer)

IT's probably too late to add any substance, but I had Harrison starting in one league last night that I set the lineup for a week ago and never looked again until this morning. I could have easily been in the same situation as this Manning owner. Seriously though, who wouldn't start Manning and what kind of a dueche would actually think their opponent meant to start Green.
Maybe Green will go off against the Skins for 300yd and 4td and we can get a
updated post about this guy.

Marc, 24 hours for an email is not notice. People have very different schedules and FF is often not a high priority. If you were commish, would you have just emailed everyone and considered it settled? Emailed and then followed up if things werent resolved 2 hours prior to gametime? Would you have phoned people? Reset the lineups yourself? Fact is, the commish screwed up, and then decided to only halfway fix things and then relied on others to do the rest of his work without getting confirmation that it was being done.Marc Levin said:

Manning was a #1 or #2 pick and playing on the first game of the season in a nationally televised event.
You dont seriously think that he didnt want to start him do you?
You have to put manning in the lineup. ESPECIALLY if FOXSPORTS sets the lineup to the Alphebet.
Look at his other positions - are they also by the alphebet?

Completely agree.....I used to travel 2-3 weeks a month (some on the weekends) for a large company on business so I on some occasions I was forced to set my lineups a few days ahead of time. My laptop had a firewall that prevented me from logging on to my fantasy league site so I couldn't set my lineups on the road. Perhaps I should have quit a lucrative job that supports my family because it didn't cater to my fantasy football hobby.Like everyone has said, 24 hours is NOT enough time to force someone to have to reset their lineup. No freaking way.

It's pretty straight forward, but if you want to save yourself scorn you could put it up to league vote. You could also ask the league how to handle this situation in the future so there is no gray area.

Manning owner put Manning in his lineup. Manning owner did not remove Manning from lineup, someone else did. Manning must be inserted into the lineup...along with any other players that this happened to (You mentioned Wayne as one of them). There is no other way to fix this.
When a problem like this arises, you to speak to each person to be sure that each is aware of it. You cannot rely on email or voice mail.

I agree that common sense should and looks like it has prevailed.
If the Commish screwed up the starting lineups, the Commish needs to fix it. Period. This is true whether or not each owner is "responsible" for checking their lineup before gametime, whether it's 24 hours or 24 days in advance.
You break it, you buy it.
Frankly, if this hadn't been resolved rationally, there is really only one fair solution: Cancel week one altogether and start the season in week 2.

Yeah, you got to put Manning in. He did what he was supposed to. With me, you can expect an email response in 3 to 4 days. I have 9 email addresses and the fantasy football email gets checked the least. Nobody in his right mind would have benched Manning for Green. You should have set a reasonable line-up before notifying the owners and with a short time-frame like this, you should have talked to each owner personally, rather than email them. What if the guy would have been out of town for a couple of days? It sucks for all involved, but you have to eat crow on this one and admit your the one that made mistakes.

Not to be an #### but its amazing people are still posting without seeing that this was resolved almost a full page ago.

Its not about being a Jerk. The number 1 thing a Commish needs to have a healthy league is the trust of the owners. Its about consistency. If you make one exception... you have to make exceptions for everyone.You create a "grey area" in your rules and should you turn down someone else who has claims of the same issue, they more than likely will feel slighted. You have to live and die by the rules.Edit: And after catching up on posts if the owners had one day to set lineups thats a Commish error regardless or attempts to contact the ownership. 24 hours notice with no notice isn't fair if that makes sense.

This is easy.
The commish f'd up. If he had his lineup set, the commish should have reset it for him. It's not the responsibility of the owners to check the site AFTER the comish makes a change to the site that causes everything to be rest, email or not.
Manning should be in.

i think the guy has a RIGHT to complain, but that is a #### move. Dude meant to start manning (and may have done so) and then there was computer glitch that necessitated redrafting. NOt everyone is as hands on. Drafting and setting a team, only to come back and find its been changed?
I'd say the right move is to insert manning. No one benches a 1st 2nd round pick any week, let alone week one.

This thread probably would have been a lot shorter and gone in a different direction if all of the facts had been disclosed in the original post. I realize that some of the facts were discovered after the fact ie. other owners with lineup issues, but we were not privy to all of the information from the get go.
Anyway, this has been resolved for some time now, probably time to lock or delete this thread.

If Manning had thrown only one TD would he ask you to put him in , you have your answer.
