What are the duties of a fantasy football league 'comissioner'?
With the duties of the fantasy football league commissioner, the first thing he has to do is get the fantasy football league together. He has to organize it with a bunch of different teams, whether it's people he knows or not, and he has to make sure the league is full. At that point the commissioner of the fantasy football league is going to set a time for the draft that everyone can make. Maybe that will be ahead of time and he'll only pick people that can make that time. Then one thing that's really key is he's going to set the scoring requirements and the scoring system for the league, and also the roster limits for the league because that tends to change depending on what it is. So the commissioner for the fantasy football league is going to decide how many wide receivers are in your starting lineup. He's going to decide how many kickers are required per team, usually it's going to be one but you never know as some leagues require two. So the commissioner is going to set all the rules ahead of time that everyone in the fantasy football league needs to follow. Then during the season I think the key thing he has to do is dispute any claims within the league. Sometimes there might be some gray area within the fantasy football league rules. Sometimes there's going to be some trades that not everyone in the league is too happy about -- maybe a bad team trading a really good player to one of the good teams that looks like a little fishy, like he's helping his friend out. The commissioner is going to be the person who kind of settles any dispute and basically does all the dirty work. When youre looking for a commissioner you're going to want to look for someone that is really excited about the fantasy football league and kind of wants to go the extra mile.
