The Commissioner role of Fantasy Football league's can be a thankless job. Last year I was Commish of two leagues and it appears three leagues I will be this year. While I enjoy being Commish, it is a struggle to get league owners to respond to correspondence in a timely manner.
In the Randall Round Up league I am in the process of trying to determine a draft day and time that will work for all owners. Every year, with exception of this past year, at the end of the year round up party we set the day of the draft. Trouble is that even when we set that day, someone will always forget to tell their spouse or just completely space it out. The rest of the responsibilities of a Commish is easy to do and I find a lot of enjoyment in.
I didn't do it last year for the yahoo league, but in the Randall Round Up league I'd post a week in preview of the match ups, then follow it up with a Monday QB post and finally wrap it up Tuesday morning. Successful leagues are ones that all owners are engaged - whether its trash talking, making trades, adding advise - because without the interaction one might as well just go to yahoo.com or another site to play with people you have nothing in common with.
Commissioners that are reading my new blog - What are some of the things you do? What are some things that you wish worked better?
