Title: problems running the league
Post by: jmtrops on January 30, 2022, 02:16:08 PM
so since Im the only one doing all the transactions and record keeping, I have been struggling to do everything without mistakes. I have recently found several errors in the rosters and contracts that some I have been able to fix and some I have struggled to find how they should be corrected. for the remainder of the season I will continue to do my best and keep things running but for next year there are some things that need to be decided.

the way I see it there are 3 choices
1-discontinue the league
2-the league continues as is with someone else running it
3-alow me to make the necessary changes to make the league easier to run. this would mean using fantrax to do a lot of the contract, roster management or as much as we can instead of the google sheet and profsl. I would pay for the fantrax upgrade. for those of you in DNHL you already know many of the functions that will include. the draft would be done on there. you would be able to drop players yourself and I dont see a need to make a separate post about it unless I need to make cap hit adjustments. same with IR, you would do that yourself as long as they are eligible per the fantrax rules but that might be something we need to tweak our rules. it would be nice if we can do FA and waivers on there too but I need to look and see how that is different from what we are currently doing. but anything we can automate is what my goal is. trades would be done in fantrax. profsl would still be used for some of our comunication but no more spread sheets.

I think the poll says it all 5/18 people have voted in just over 58 hours.

people need to remember we do this for fun and having to run the league is not fun. Ideally the people running the league should not have a team in the league but thats not going to happen. those of you who vote to get someone else to run the league as is but not stepping up to do it is the same as voting for the league to end. thats what will happen if you want the league to continue as is and no one steps up to do it, and it needs to be more than 1 of you.

whats best for these leagues is if we all can just concentrate on running our teams and not have to worry about weather others are following the rules or our transactions are made correctly and on time or any of the other bullCrap because most of it can automated.

honestly I dont understand the reluctance to automate as much as we can. it eliminates mistakes, rule breaking and make the league more fun for everyone

The reluctance to automate is due to being a premium league and costing money. Thats the only reason.

That's you're opinion. You don't speak for me.

then since I will pay for it it, it should be everyone's choice. I understand some people dont want to pay even if its only $8-$10 each a year so anyone who wants to contribute can and I will pay the rest.

Anthony you know the history of the leagues and the more complicated they are to run the harder it is to get people to run them. I cant even count how many leagues I have been in that have shut down because no one had the time to run them.

it also helps the issue of rules enforcement, which no body wants to deal with. if fantrax wont let you break the rules then its much less problems for everyone

he was not speaking for you and that is his opinion. I have seen others that dont want to pay to be in free leagues which is why I said I would pay and anyone who wants to pay their share is welcome to but not required. In DNHL thats how they did it 1 person paid most of it But I paid what it said was my share of it. overall its not that much money for me. on there my share was like $6
