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?

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.
