We are looking for someone to run the Packer Rats fantasy football league!! What we need out of a commissioner is someone who can organize a large scale league. We don't know exactly how many members are going to want in, or how the best way to do it is. This is up to you. Currently, we have close to 40 members signed up. By the time the season rolls around, I don't think its unreasonable to expect atleast 48 or as many as 64.
In the other thread, over the course of many pages it was established that the best way to do it would be to have several small leagues so that everyone is scoring points and not starting 2nd string rbs and qbs. This is a good idea in my opinion and something I would recommend doing.
Some experience would be preferred, because it is probably going to take a larger time commitment than someone who hasn't ran a league before would expect, however if you're up to the task and willing to gain some huge respect from your fellow rats this is a great opportunity!
The commissioner must find a way to not only include everyone, but to have a playoffs at the end of the season and crown one grand Rat Champion. The best way to do this in my opinion would be to have anywhere from 4 to 8 divisions depending upon the amount of people that sign up, and to use the last several weeks of the regular season as the playoffs.
If you do elect to go with seperate divisions, you can work together with several other Packer Rats as division leaders to manage their own individual divisions and you can oversee the entire operation.
As commissioner, you are responsible to accomodate up to 64 people. After 64, we may have to start cutting off, however if we reach 64 people next week and more want to join we will find a way to accomodate. If there is an uneven number of teams in each division, another member can pick up a 2nd team if they so desire, but no member may control more than two teams. In the event no member wishes to pick up a second team, the commissioner must manage and prepare this team for each week. If they wish to pass this team around amongst the division leaders for the sake of fairness, that is acceptable as well.
You can choose when the cut-off date for signing up is, however it can be no earlier than two weeks before the opening kickoff of the regular season.
Who wants to do it? This could be a very fun experience, we've got to make an effort to include everyone who wants to play and keep the rules fair. While it might seem like a lot of rules, it really isn't. Who wants to do it? We've had a few people volunteer, and we're hoping for a few more people volunteer to lend a hand a division leaders and one commissioner running the show. Come on guys, do something to help out your fellow Packer Rats!
