It is now Week 11 out of 13 in a rather large fantasy football league that I am commissioner of. 2 Months before the season started I had sent out rules, scoring system, etc. I had told all players to review and let me know if they would like anything changed. I didn't hear anything.
Now, I have one person complaining that the Trade evaluation period and acceptance is unheard of, and one person has claimed that the scoring system is unfair. Of course these are the last place teams, but in either case, the changes would not have helped them that much. One is 2-9, and the other 3-7. Myself and 4 other GM's reneged a trade that the last place person was trying to pull off with the second place team, but I was attacked for not letting it go through. I stated my points, and the following week, I was correct in my assumption as well as the last few weeks.
Do any other League commissioners get this type of complaining? I could see if I didn't put the scoring system and rules out there to be voted on Two Months Prior to the season starting, but I did, and they had plenty of time to review and let me know of changes. I specifically stated in the email that I sent out to all players to review the rules and scoring so that midway through the season I wouldn't hear any complaining, and if they had any problems, to let me know and I would change. Nope, they waited til nearly the end of the season to argue the rules.
