I want poll members here on a subject that seems to make some members mad and others ok with!!
I commish a few leagues where I will set the lineups for members who didn't check in or are inactive!! I usually wait til 12;30 pm on Sunday to do this. Now this is for ONLY their Bye players and feel this is fair to other owners as it brings parity to the league!!
I believe no owner should get a easy win do to inactive owner or a owner that forgot about their byes!!
What do you think??
This will help me set rules for next season and aldo keep leagues intact for next season!!
Remember only byes and for owners who are inactive or not signed in for a couple of days!!
You and I have discussed this in the past. My position is that it's OK to do for inactive(over 14 days not signed in) or abandoned teams, not for owners who just forgot or didn't care that week. My guidelines are:
1. I only replace bye week or injured players(those who have definitely been ruled out).
2. I use whoever the first name available is for the position from their bench. If there is no player available, then I don't make a change.
3. I do not pick up free agents to fill the lineup.
4. I inform the league about what I am doing so there can be no dispute.
I've been lucky in the leagues I run to have done this rarely, but the active owners understand and appreciate it.
