This is the first season of my new h2h fantasy basketball league...Apocalypse Hoops I. I actually prefer roto over h2h, but I have yet to be in a roto where every manager is active. That's rare in h2h also, but h2h seems to be more popular. I'm coming off a season where I was in 3 leagues and won every one of them. One league for the third year in a row, and no...I was not the commish. I consider myself a stellar fantasy basketball manager if I do say so myself. I will admit however, these leagues were full of inactivity and basketball no-minds. Something I am trying to avoid here. If you don't watch the NBA...don't join. If you join and are not active...you will be replaced. Replacing managers is a practice I have used in my fantasy football league, and has worked out rather well. If you are wondering if I am a worthy commish, I believe I am, but the league's opinion is more valuable than mine. I'm pretty sure by viewing this league, http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/apocalypselater , you would agree. The settings in the football were discussed with the league and will be adjusted next season. Notice my losing record, message board, and commish note. I'm no cheat and I'm as fair as the come. I repeat the commish note. Keeper Baseball is the main motivation, but that takes nothing away from football or basketball. This is not a censorship league, so your words are free to be publicized no matter what they are. Therefore...if you're a sensitive pussy-pants, just leave now. I will not be a commissioner with an iron fist. Less commish power the better. Trades will be under commish control, but the league has the right to protest. In a 16 team league, 5 protests will veto a trade. All protests must be posted on the message board, in the related thread. Protest any way you want, but must be posted. One word or 1000, it's up to you. Lobbying is allowed. Obviously any collusion is not allowed, but it is up to the league to discover it and make it public...you or I. Anything obviously damaging to the league, I will take immediate action. That's the last thing I want to happen and the last thing I want to do. Again...any league is better with a commish who is less involved. Look at the NFL, and how much it sucks now compared to the 80s and 90s. Goodell is too involved, too many rules, and too many replays. I'm not comparing myself to the Commissioner of the NFL, just pointing out how too much is too interfering. I won't do that. There will be no manipulation what-so-ever. With all that being said...thank goodness the NBA is going to be back, and I'm ready to watch it. Even though my Sonics were stolen from me, I'm still a big fan of the sport and am not denying the awesome athleticism it takes to play the game. I'm ready.
Also all my leagues are viewable to the public. If you're looking for additional information regarding football or keeper baseball...look here....
