biomaxdds Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 #2 team just lost last week in the first round of playoffs and he dropped all his players except 3 keepers. There is nothing we could do about it, since some players argue there is no rules against. My arguemdnt is that how were we suppose to know he is a sore loser like this and we can't possibly come up with every rules in the world to pretend what some people might. What do you guys think? Am I complaining too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Your commish should reinstate every player he dropped and lock his roster. Just because there isnt a rule against it it doesnt make it fly when an owner has a sore vagina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomaxdds Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 That's what I am saying to the rest of the league, but 2 other players (out of playoffs) are arguing we can't make rules on the fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many of us have a rule stating that an owner cant drop his whole team because he lost a playoff game. I also doubt that it would fly in many of our leagues. I have commished my main local for 15 years. If someone tried this, I would proclaim marshal law if I had to and reverse it. Can the guy who needs vagisil offer a viable reason why he is doing this ?

rattsass Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I agree. The roster should be reinstated, and the owner invited to leave. No semblence of the integrity of the league is being compromised as opposed to the alternative of letting it stand. This is exactly the kind of rare occassion where the commish should come in and make an arbitrary decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustOfBeenDrunk Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That's why all teams are locked in our leagues once the playoffs have started No Add / Drops , No trades , No nothing except setting your line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriots Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That happened in one of my leagues except the person made the playoffs. Someone else told him he didn't so he dropped all of his good players. The commish locked those players so no one else could pick them up and he was left to the waiver wire to fill his roster. Needless to say he got blown out in his first playoff game and was not invited back into the league the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomaxdds Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 The league is divided into 2 divisions (since day 1). Each champ from divisions get first round bye. He is mad because he lost his first place seat/bye the very last week before playoffs started and then he subsequently lost in the first round. He had the 2nd best overall record but 2nd in his division. I thought he should of said something about it in the beginning of the season, not when he lost his first round bye.

This. That's why you have a commish and not a secretary. This is supposed to be a freaking game, and the slippery slope arguments are silly. Basically, you can either have 15 pages of bylaws or you can agree to act rationally when something outside of what you expected to happen comes up.

Now, if you want to do it this way for competitive reasons, a "dance with the ones that brought you" sort of deal, that's one thing. But if you're preventing teams from making legit moves just to protect yourselves from some a-hole having a hissy fit and dropping his entire roster, that seems rather unfortunate.

GeorgeSteele Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 See if you can find any dirt in his background (sex with another male or underage person/ photos that might humiliate him etc...) then warn him that you will expose his past if he ruins your league.

delusions of grandeur Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That's what I am saying to the rest of the league, but 2 other players (out of playoffs) are arguing we can't make rules on the fly Two owners who are out of playoffs are complaining? Talk about inserting yourself into a situation that has nothing to do with you. Ask them to show you the rule that someone is allowed to dump their whole team because they lost. Just like collusion, there's an unwritten rule that teams out of the playoffs don't screw with those who are. It falls under conduct detrimental to the league. I swear, we wouldn't have to have so many damn laws if people didn't need everything spelled out to use common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MothAudio Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Live and learn. Next year you'll adopt a rule concerning tanking and dropping players. In our league once you lose in the play offs you're team is locked. I agree with the others, in this case this is such a recognized standard that even though there was no reference to it before the draft the commish should reinstate the players and lock / boot the owner.

Matches Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Two owners who are out of playoffs are complaining? Talk about inserting yourself into a situation that has nothing to do with you. I believe the OP said it was a keeper league, so in theory this could affect all owners, even those who did not make the playoffs. If the teams that are eliminated form the playoffs are allowed to pickup any of the dropped players, and then keep them the following year, I can see why they would argue for this. That said, I believe it is wrong, and it should not be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcmast Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Integrity of the league issue. Commish has to lock those playerf from being picked up by anythone else. If not, i'd be done, or if that Dill Josh Gordon is back next year, I'd be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acbvegas Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yes I know my Commish would do " Marshall Law" and state that NOBPDY can pick up ANY of his players or it will be consdiered a loss! That's at least what i would do! This seems like a very likely scenario in a lot of leagues however so I do think rosters shouldnt be locked it is an understood rule not to do that!

biomaxdds Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Commish is quitting the league because all the whining and I don't blame him. Out keep league allows you to keep 2 for next year but you have to use 1st and 2nd rounds for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biomaxdds Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 It won't effect anything for next year, but it'll like affect the teams that are currently in the playoffs. We are trying to get the last 4 playoff teams to agree not picking up any players that were dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
