    was it loud and clear in the leagues constitution that total fantasy points was tiebreaker #1 ? I'm not defending your commish but it could be something he overlooked when setting league up back in september ; especially if he's a rookie commish .

    most casual h2h leagues I play in use the best record v.s teams tied with tiebreaker so maybe that was his intention all along . obviously have a chat with him

    If it went down like you said it's obviously laughable corrupt. If you know the commissioner I would ask for an explanation, it's such an insanely unfair maneuver I almost cannot believe he think he'll get away with it.

    I'm a bit confused by the post. Did the commissioner change tie-breaker? You say the 1st criteria was changed to "head-to-head record vs all tied teams" which sounds like a tie-breaker. That makes it only slightly less terrible to change and it's still not cool but just looking for clarity.

    Anyways, raise hell, demand an explanation and a reversal, rally support of other owners.

    I'd be destroying the league chat and getting everyone in the pool up in riot. I'd probably write a letter to the other GM's - calmly - and e-mail it out to ensure this is brought to everyone's attention.

    If this were on fantrax. I'd almost be tempted to copy the pool into another as the commish - exclude that manager (leave the team unowned rest of season) and invite everyone else over & just set the vacant teams line up rest of season. At least this way the rest of you could somewhat fairly finish off the season.

    If this is a pay league... man...

    It's amazing how little shame some people can have, and how low they would go to try and steal a tainted win. Screw that commish and his league.

    Full load baby diaper crap.


    All league rule changes should be voted on by all GMs with a majority required to pass. This should be done in the offseason. In season changes should never even cross a mind.

    Yeah he changed the tie breaker from points to h2h record, which would have been ok months ago and with a heads up. But not the last week of the season.

    I totally agree! If you're going to do something mid season it needs to be voted on before implementing it.
    I shared this thread this thread with him and he has changed it back, so all is well for now.

    There was no mention of it and I don't believe we have a league constitution. It's a pay league that's been going for 4 years and he's been commish each year. It is our first year on Fantrax and apparently the settings are confusing, but still...

    I agree 100%. Strategy is the name of the game and without everything set in stone before the season starts, things like this end up happening.

    That's pretty funny. My brother was in a league with a group of life long friends. During a regular H2H matchup (not playoffs), The commish changed his own line-up at week's end to give him the win over his opponent. Crushed the league and ended friendships.
    In a 10 league where we start 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D and 2 G daily. It is a H2H league - we keep 3 players (1 G max), are allowed a max of 2 keeps for each player. The number in brackets is the number of keeps I have left:

    G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPA and Shots.
    C - Larkin, Couturier, Kopitar, Cirelli
    LW - OV, Panarin (1), Schenn (C), Ehlers (RW), Kreider
    RW - Kucherov (0), Seguin (C), Palmieri, Voracek, Yamamoto
    D - Yandle, DeAngelo

    W, GAA, SV% and Saves.
    G - Rask, Varlamov, Hart, Mrazek
    IR+ - Tarasenko

    I disagree with this in part.

    Being honest points at the commissioner, who will then be (rightfully) thrown under the bus.
