FastFL. The FastFL. Snickers, giggles, whispers and winks abound when the name is mentioned or suggested. So bad, so corrupt, so completely screwed up; that a song was written about them. Performed and sung by a talent borrowed from William Hung.
FastFL has had plenty of drama, events, scandals, and plain-out, hit-you-in-the-forehead cheating. I could have had a V-8 <smack>, I could have been a part of FOF2k4 history <smack>...
My name is Scott Kolleck, and I have been a part of FOF2k4 history. I have been a loyal owner in a league that had problems and I have stuck with the league. Now, I am the new commissioner of FastFL.
I will be FastFL's third commissioner. I need to be very clear to everybody involved with this league and anybody considering joining the FastFL - Cheating will not be tolerated. Anybody caught cheating will be removed.
The FastFL is exactly that... *fast*, and I think that it is a hot bed, a petri dish, if you will, of possible cheating. Heck, we spawned at least two cheats that are now part of every commissioner's checklists (Rookies and players cut in commish mode).
I understand this league has been rocked by scandal and I will try to resolve the problem(s) in several ways;
1) All stages, inputs and league chatrooms will be saved and clearly marked via timestamp for possible review at a later time. This will be done on the commissioners computer and, if possible, at least one other league official.
2) Any cheating, no matter how small, will be deal with in extremely strict terms. This will include items that are not exactly detailed in the posted rules. A good rule of thumb would be that = "Any action or contract, that appears to defraud the league, a team, or any player, will be considered cheating."
3) Trading with the computer will be suspended for the near future. This is a feature that will be good if the computer has a human advocate or other assistance. As it is currently ruled, it is too easy to abuse, in my option.
4) All Drafts and All Playoffs will be held live. Each event will be live, and witnessed by two or more league members, or it will be postponed (at least 24 hours). The live events will take place with a combination of AOL Instant Messenger, Netmeeting, and the forums. All events will be documented with all attending owners saving the respective files of the event. (Private conversations are not included.)
5) Stages will be run no sooner than the posted schedule. Unless the time change is posted at least 24 hours in advance. Stages will be completed no later than 12 hours after the scheduled cutoff time. Stage changes will be accepted up to simulation time, but no allowance will be made for late stages, if it is late - it may be or may not be used. This is determined by the download results at simulation time.
6) If a stage is simulated within the 12 hours as specified above then the next stage will be run at the normal scheduled time. If the 12 hour window is missed, then the stage due date will be moved 24 hours from the standard schedule.
7) All owners are recommended and encourged to invite, cajole, bribe, and hogtie friends and/or rivals into joining this league... Oh, hold on, bribes would be cheating... No Bribes, but hogties are still legal.
We are here to have fun, this league has been smeared by past issues. I want to have a fun league, use the history we have built, and continue this great league.
Thanks for your time,
