CODE OF CONDUCT
This Code of Conduct is to be followed by owners in The Crybabies Fantasy Football League. The commissioners will enforce this Code without exception.
Participation is the lifeblood of a fantasy football league; more than fresh FAs, more than rivalries, even more than stats. If there is no sense of community going on between owners - no trade talk, no trash talk, no football talk - there will shortly be no KAFFL because there will be no fun. So, owners are actively encouraged to go out there and start a new rivalry or talk up some trade bait, not only for their own enjoyment, but also for the good of the league.
It goes without saying that preparedness is the key to long-term success in a fantasy league. Owners, who come to the draft prepared, keep abreast of the free-agent market and do their homework when it comes to researching players and studying league rules usually experience success from year to year. On the other hand, nobody wants to play week to week with a roster full of scrubs. Owners are also encouraged to stay on top of NFL happenings year-round, not only for their own enjoyment, but also for the good of the league.
Perhaps the most overlooked facet of fantasy football is communication. Players and Commissioners alike need to be timely, complete and accurate with the information they provide to one another. In a virtual game like fantasy football, based on statistics and one level removed from reality, communication is the only way that everybody can share the construct that is collectively built. Owners are encouraged to over-communicate rather than under-communicate whenever possible, not only for their own benefit, but also for the good of the league.
Sportsmanship, a much-maligned value these days, helps make fantasy football a much more pleasant experience for everyone. True enough, the FF environment is competitive, as it should be, sportsmanship is knowing where to draw the line.
TEAM OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES
Owners are responsible for knowing and following all the league rules, bylaws & schedules.
Owners are responsible for ensuring that their team has current contact information.
Owners are responsible for responding to emails from the commissioner or other owners in a timely manner.
Owners are responsible for taking part in league votes and debates.
Failure to access the site for excessive periods of time will not be accepted.
Failure to respond to trade offers will not be accepted.
Failure to submit weekly lineups will not be accepted.
Failure to follow or participate in any league function or schedule will not be accepted.
In the event that you will be away for an excessive period, you should notify the commissioner.
The Commissioner may terminate an owner if rules are broken in a habitual manner.
FINAL RULE
From time to time, a situation may arise in which the rules, as written, may lend themselves to harming the position of a team in a way, which was not the intent of the rule when written. If this scenario arises, the commissioner has the right to re-evaluate the league rules to determine whether the situation at hand is such that the intent of the rules when written cannot stand because the literal interpretation would lend itself to the contrary. If the above is true, the commissioner can forgo the rules, as written, in favor of the rules’ intent. If the commissioner comes to such a decision, the commissioner must inform the other league owners by email/message board post explaining the situation, the decision to forgo the rule in question, and the reasoning for making such a decision. League owner who believe that the situation in question does not warrant a re-evaluation of the league rules must inform the commissioner within 24 hours.
