the lone star Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 So the commissioner in a league I'm in updated the rulebook recently. Inside of this most recent update, we saw that he added a rule that states the commissioner is obliged to adjudicate matters in the league's best interest. However, it is not defined what is in the league's best interest, or if there are other ways to gauge it outside of the commissioner's judgment.Furthermore, the commissioner did not discuss such a rule change with anybody, and the league always votes on rule changes. In fact, it is a violation of the rules for the commissioner to just sneak such a rule into the bylaws without telling anyone, without posting it to the league's message board, nor putting it up to a league-wide vote.So what do you make of this? Was the commissioner wrong for doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarcerated_Scarface Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Has anyone asked him what that means? I don't know how I'd be about it, but if he starts using it to his gain then I'd be out of that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Yeah, the lack of a definition is confusing and concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 In this case, it's probably fine. I'd just ask nicely about what "The League's Best Interest" means. Give them to set a bit of a standard, and give some examples of things that could happen, like tanking, or a very lopsided trade, or a trade where it's bad players and good picks going for great players and bad picks, just to see what they say. Do it in as non-confrontational way as possible, and make it about you wanting to know for your planning versus you questioning their judgment.
