My Commish is Cheating at Fantasy Football?

bum luck but sorry, Y! will not interfere with private leagues. commissioners have full jurisdiction over their leagues and have the tools to adjust any team's roster at any point for any week previous and in play....\n\nCommissioner Tools > Edit Rosters\n\nit sucks to have landed in a cheating private league but thems the breaks...public leagues usually has some lame players but at least if someone tries to cheat in there, then Y! can step in and lock their ass....Team Ducks....\n-nny

Yea i know. This is at least the 10th post ive seen about this. PLZ stop posting this as posting it honestly will not do anything about it. This problem has occurred numerous times in different yahoo leagues over the past week including mine. Yahoo is probably trying to fix the problem as fast as they can.

you havent played in any leagues with more than 12 teams, you havent played in many private leagues, and it seems as though youve won 10 of your gold trophies from the leagues youve been commissioner. what does this mean? it might not mean anything really and im definately not hating, thats a great feat youve accomplished. however, with my experience playing both public, then winners leagues compared to playing in a private league with a select groups of more knowledgeable fans, id say the latter is tougher. public leagues and winners leagues are just a confidence and ego builder, try and play with the experts in a private league and see what you can do.i dont know the circumstances behind the leagues youve been commissioner so one could never know if you just cheated or played with idiots....i'll give you the benefit of the doubt. you should try to play in a league with more than 12 teams sometime because it does makes things more challenging and thats what you need. this is good for testing your knowledge of how many players you know, all the sleepers and what not, definately showing if are "in depth" with the sport. basically, ill give you your props but this is not something i havent seem already.

there is not a scoring error....and as the other person said, scores are not official until tuesday...and even then the nfl will submit stat corrections when they change the calls, and that happens on thursday....\n-nny

Tell your friend to try and log on his user name and password on a different computer. This happened to me because I created my fantasy account before I got SBC yahoo, and now I have to check my fantasy account from a different computer, for example a public library.\n\nGood Luck,\nhope this helps.

I've emailed yahoo fantasy basketball plenty of times and they have told me absolutly nothing I wanted to hear except it's due to heavy volume of people joining the leagues, and techincal glitches. I told myself I wasn't going to purchase this garbage this year but I did it anyway and Im not getting my moneys worth once again. I'm frustrated just like you and I will continue to write these people until the problem is resolved.  Sorry for your troubles too!

It's cheating, collusion, whatever you want to call it. Show this guy this page and ask what he thinks. If he still doesn't have a problem with it, then all you can do is make sure you aren't in a league with this guy again in the future.

it wont show up.   yahoo apparently lost the coding for the fantasy teams to show up in the little module.  cute module but worthless now.   there are tons of people (look around, you will find them) that have this issue.  yahoo, apparently hasnt figgered this one out yet.

Well....you got yourself into a little trouble here.I can't imagine nobody noticed this while playing week in week out.\nBut the anwer is...you can't,unfortunately.I've checked in a league that i commish but the playoff settings are locked.\nNow you have 2 options:do it yourself and let the owners mail their lineups,or find a site that you can still start a league at.(maybe fanball.com...not sure)

I would go to the Yahoo Fantasy Sports Home Page at http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/. \nEach game has a link for rules.

Yahoo! does not initiate scoring adjustments. All scoring changes are sent in by the NFL and the Elias Sports Bureau. Box Scores do not show the updated scores, you must research the player’s profile to find the updated stats. Any links to box scores will not be accepted as “proof” of an incorrect scoring adjustment for this very reason. Scoring changes are generally submitted and adjusted on Thursday of each week. We will not reverse a scoring adjustment to reflect the previous, incorrect, score. You are more than welcome to contact the NFL regarding their scoring change. Unless they reverse their scoring change, the current standings and scores in your league will remain the same. Please note, player stat changes will only be run for Head-to-Head leagues if they apply to the just completed week, not for any other previous week. \n\nwhat they send out...\n-nny

I'm currently in 4 leagues already, and will probably play in about 25-30 total on yahoo, nfl.com, foxsports, espn, and easports. I'm very selective about the free leagues I play in, so I'll have to pass on your invite at this time.

You cant appeal being locked out of a Yahoo! League. It is the sole right of the commissioner, and when you sign up for the league, you acknowledge that fact.

Yahoo does nothing about cheating in any of their leagues so don't even bother reporting it.\n\nMost of the time it's a crooked commissioner or someone with more than 1 team in the same league making BS trades from their weakest team to their stronger team.\n\nThe best situation is to try and get people you know from other leagues you have played in who are honest and active managers and set up your league or leagues.\n\nYou need a good Commish who is honest and will not allow any bad trades or dropping of top players\n\nIt may take a few years to get a good group together but this is what I have done and it does work well.\n\nI also go in about 2 leagues where I don't know anyone just for the fun of it and I hope they are run fairly.\n\nSo far there have been no problems this year but I have been in some very crooked leagues in the past and it really spoils things for hte rest of the managers.\n\nIf you have have to cheat to win then you haven't really won anything but I guess some people like to to think they have in their own mind.

Basically fantasy sports come from real live stats that players have during that night or weeks game.  Lets look at fantasy football as an example:\n\nNow you can get points for:\nPassing Yards, Rushing Yards, Receiving Yards, Touchdowns, Interceptions, fumbles, and so on.\n\nBelow is the point system for your average fantasy football league:\nPassing Yards (50 yards per point)\nPassing Touchdowns (6)\nInterceptions (-2)\nRushing Yards (20 yards per point)\nRushing Touchdowns (6)\nReception Yards (20 yards per point)\nReception Touchdowns (6)\nReturn Touchdowns (6)\n2-Point Conversions (2)\nFumbles Lost (-2)\nOffensive Fumble Return TD (6)\nField Goals 0-19 Yards (3)\nField Goals 20-29 Yards (3)\nField Goals 30-39 Yards (3)\nField Goals 40-49 Yards (4)\nField Goals 50+ Yards (5)\nPoint After Attempt Made (1)\nSack (1)\nInterception (2)\nFumble Recovery (2)\nTouchdown (6)\nSafety (2)\nBlock Kick (2)\nPoints Allowed 0 points (10)\nPoints Allowed 1-6 points (7)\nPoints Allowed 7-13 points (4)\nPoints Allowed 14-20 points (1)\nPoints Allowed 21-27 points (0)\nPoints Allowed 28-34 points (-1)\nPoints Allowed 35+ points (-4) \n\nNow you usually have Quaterback, Widereciever, Widereciever, Widereciever, Running Back, Running Back, Tight End, Kicker, Defense, and 6 bench spots  for players you may not use one week but maybe the next. \n\nNow you just need to do a little research and find the best players so when you draft you get the best team possible.  You also need to keep an eye on free agents during the season and pick someone up who is doing well.  It is fun and it is not that complicated once you are exposed to it.

We had a similar issue in our league a few weeks ago.  Note that NFL gamecenter likely won't be corrected after the fact.  To see the scoring corrections in Yahoo, go to your league page and select the Players tab at the top, and then select Stat Corrections.  I see that Polk was credited with a sack last week.\n\nIf you're not happy with this, use the feedback link on this page:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/scoring/football-01.html
