X. League Governance

League stability serves to enhance the integrity and the enjoyment level of the pasttime. The league will be governed by the following framework:

A. Commissioner: The goal is to have a very strong yet fair Commissioner. The Commissioner is sworn to act at all times in the "best interests of the NFA" and is vested with the following powers and obligations:

1. Interpret the Constitution as he sees just and fit.

2. Maintain the integrity of the league and its Owners by enforcing Article XI, "Expected Owner Conduct".

3. Settle all disputes between Owners.

4. Settle position/eligibility questions.

5. Preside over draft and settle draft disputes.

6. Distribute free agents through the weekly drop/add.

7. Approve all trades and transactions.

8. Provide timely weekly scoring results.

9. Officate over offseason dealings.

10. Provide accurate recordkeeping from previous season

B. Committee of the Whole: The league Owners will function as the Committee of the Whole which is made up of all league members, each with an equal vote (one per team). The Committee of the Whole reserves the right to veto ANY decision made by the Commissioner with a 2/3 (i.e.,eight) majority vote. Each member of the Committee as the Whole will be charged with the responsibility of acting in the best interests of the league.

XI. Expected Owner Conduct

Owners will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not disparage the league nor its Owners in any way, shape, or form. As we have no prize but “bragging rights”, bragging and teasing will always be a part of the personality and charm of the NFA, and is to be expected; personal attacks, taunting, and inflammatory or socially unacceptable behavior or language will not be tolerated, however. The Commissioner along with the offended party will have total authority in drawing the line between “good-spirited fun” and a taunt. This will be strictly enforced. 

XII. Bottom Line

The NFA was founded on the ideal of conducting our game of Fantasy Football at a friendly, yet competitive, level.  Every Owner is a vital part of this process and each of us are very essential to the success of the league.  While we all partake of this hobby because it is enjoyable, recall that the real merits in our lives are the people we touch each day.  Remember folks, this is supposed to be FUN!  May the gods of fantasy football smile down on us all, and may the bounces go the way of those that truly deserve them!
