Who is in charge of a fantasy football league?
The commissioner is in charge of the fantasy football league. This is a key factor so you've got to choose the right commissioner for your fantasy football league. First of all, you have to get someone that wants to do it. The commissioner is going to be in charge of maybe buying your stat service on the website and entering all the team's and the team owners' name onto the website. If you happen to have a fantasy football draft where you do it live, which not too many people do anymore, the commissioner will have to enter all the teams into the stat service that you use. The commissioner is also someone that's going to settle any disputes. So if someone thinks that a trade doesn't quite look on the up and up, maybe it's a team that's not doing very well and he wants to help his friend out at the end of the season so he'll trade a really good player for a bad player causing some people in the league to complain, a commissioner will decide what to do. There's going to be rules for every fantasy football league. Usually the company that you're working with is going to set the rules, but anytime there's a disagreement, the commissioner is going decide. I don't like to be the commissioner because its a thankless job, but a lot of people do like to do it. What you want to get from the commissioner is a person that loves the fantasy football league more than everyone else, like the guy in the league that is calling you for trade offers five times a week, the person that's sort of most excited about getting the fantasy football league together. You all know sort of who that friend is among your friends, the kind of organizer. That's the commissioner of the fantasy football league. You have to get someone that wants to do it, because otherwise a bad commissioner can really hurt the fantasy football league.
