Fantasy Football Tips on Joining Leagues

Fantasy Football Tips on Joining Leagues We all must go through the painstaking decisions of choosing a league to join.

I’ve heard of someone who joined 9 different leagues but for me, that’s just a lot. If you are staring out, joining a league alone should do you good. A league is enough to practice and learn the system, once you have learned your craft then you can join more than one leagues.

Once you have found a league that you may want to be a part of, check out their scoring system.

Make sure that you have a copy of the complete scoring system, since you wouldn’t want any surprises here. If there are rules that don’t seem clear, don’t be afraid to ask questions, look over rules almost as you would a contract laid for you. If you think that the scoring system seem unbalanced or illogical, don’t join the league. On the other hand, if you really want to join for the social aspect, why not ask about how often rules changes are made and see f they’re open for any suggestions.

Before jumping to join a league, make sure you know the complete set of rules for that particular league. If they aren’t willing to put it on writing somewhere before the season begins, they’re likely to change the rules to suit their needs before the season begins as the season develops. You would hate it if there’s a rule controversy during a week 6 of a season and it would interrupt your games as an example.

The rule laid out should be able to cover everything, whether it’s a redraft, keeper, or dynasty league. On a similar note, you should know if it’s a draft or auction league. You also need to know how free agency is transacted and who decided what a fair trade is. That is why you need to know how controversies and questions are handled in the league during a season.

Know how much power the commissioner has.

Having a good commissioner is of course synonymous to having a good league. The more power the commissioner has then the more important that he remains unbiased, fair and takes care of business on time, as well as understanding the spirit of the game.

On the other hand, if the commissioner is rigging things to help him and his friends then you fantasy football experience will definitely be ugly and unsatisfying.
