The basic problem in our league is what to do with one owner who has not done anything with his team since our draft. The commisioner put his starting line up in for him and has been filling in his byes for him, but the rest of the league wasn't really aware of it. We have talked to the owner and he says it is because he doesn't have internet access at home (I know, but nobody thought to ask when he said he wanted to play ). One suggestion is to bench his entire team and create a defacto bye week, another is to drop all his players back to the free agent market (and figure out how to make his players available in a fair manner), and another is to use the yahoo reccomended roster each week. We as a league can't seem to agree on what to do. The player in queston's team is 1-5 and all but out of playoff picture already. Any suggestions?

IN response to answer three, everyone plays him once from here on out so everyone would get the same bye. He does have good players, but once they went out on bye they didn't come back in because it's not been the commisioners job to play his team. The commish has only been filling byes with his roster spots, and this week he doesn't have enough guys to fill roster.

This happened to our league. Another owner started filling in the roster weekly for the other team. Other owners were furious especially games they lost to that psuedoteam. It almost became a big problem. We did not invite him back to play this year and found ourselves an owner who wanted to play. I say he either finds a computer or go to the library and set his roster( if he really wanted to play he'd find a way) Lock that team out and play it as a bye! Next year don't let that loser back in your league.

General rule is this type of problem would fall into the hands of the commish. The commish has the ability to freeze any team from making moves, removing players from ones team at any time, reverse transactions, and so on... Of course, it is rare that the commish has to take any of these actions, but these abilities are given to the commish by Yahoo for these very types of reasons. Your leagues problem is the same type of problem that a commish is trusted to handle when he creates the league...and in return, when everyone agrees to join the league, it's saying that the rest of the players trust your commish to play fair and rule abiding. He should make the decision and everyone just play on from that point. If he wants to take a vote, it's his call. With 9 teams remaining you should be given only 2 choices and all then vote on it. This way there is no tie. Good luck!

There's not much choice at this point but to have the commissioner keep running it. It's not fair to the teams the absentee hasn't played yet to have the team suddenly go into not fielding a full team at all.
Sounds like the team is no good anyhow though so it's not like it's making a big difference in the league standings.

I'm not sure what your league rules are, but the commish shouldn't tamper with his team. If he chooses not to change out players on bye weeks that's his problem.

Depends if you can get 2nd pick give him 30 bucks and get Jackson who will have an amazing year, but if the next best pick is 6th or 7th keep your pick. 8th pick sucks put you might be able to do a Rudi Johnson Laurence Maroney combo or a Rudi Johnson Willis McGahee combo. Only give him 30-40 bucks if your getting 2nd or 1st pick.

The only fair solution is for you to bench all of your players every week in protest of the deadbeat owner.

i would get some of the other owners and wait outside his house. when he comes out, someone throws a blanket over his head, and the others beat the crap out of him.
