Attending
Owners: Brian, Rob, Shawn, Garts, Carl, Susan, Brendan
Non-Attending
Owners: Sabu, Rowe/Matt
Commissioner
stated that Matt Dueck was taking over for Rob Rowe’s team and that while there
were no re-tabled issues from the 2025 AOM, we did need to re-visit a couple of
implemented rule changes.
1 – Did we
want to change the 1pt/first down rule to .5pt/first down?
Keep at 1/FD:
Brian, Rob, Shawn, Garts, Carl
Change to
.5/FD: Susan, B
Non-Voters: Sabu,
Rowe/Matt
1/FD
will stay in place for the foreseeable future
2 – The
Commissioner discussed some finances and asked if we should continue to pay out
records annually and/or increase league fees instead/as well. After a
discussion, the votes ended up as:
Stop paying
records, 0 increase:
Stop paying
records, 5 increase: Susan
Keep paying
records, 0 increase:
Keep paying
records, 5 increase: Brian, Rob, Shawn, Garts, Carl,
Brendan
Non-Voters: Sabu,
Rowe/Matt
Records
will continue to be paid out and the fees will increase by $5 effective
immediately.
3 – The Commissioner
started a discussion about tie-breaking rules and asked if anyone wanted to
change from the current H2H/point differential (the CFL way) and move to the
simplistic PF only method (the Sleeper way).
Keep using
the CFL way: Brian, Rob, Shawn, Garts, Susan, Carl
Switch to
the Sleeper way: Brendan
Non- Voters:
Sabu, Rowe/Matt
We
will continue using the CFL method for the foreseeable future
The
Commissioner opened the floor for new business:
4 – Brian
proposed that the DFFL2 return unprotected players that remain undrafted at the
end of the annual draft to their original roster (just like the DFFL does). The
Commissioner advised that it is completely up to the owners to ask to have
those players returned to their roster. The Commissioner will not add anyone
back without being asked to. This is how it works in the DFFL.
Yes: Brian,
Rob, Garts, Susan, Carl
No: Brendan
Non-Voters:
Sabu, Rowe/Matt, Shawn
Proposal
passes for immediate implementation
5 – Brian proposes
that we add kick return yards to ST/D scoring. 1/50 return yards (like the DFFL3
does)
Yes: Brian,
Rob, Shawn, Garts, Susan, Carl
No: Brendan
Non-Voters: Sabu,
Rowe/MattRhonda, David, Mike
Proposal
passes for immediate implementation on a 1-year trial basis
There was no
more new business, so the Commissioner closed the floor and proceeded with his
Commissioner’s Report.
2026 DFFL2
Commissioner’s Report:
1 –
Personal:
Because of some issues that arose last season in multiple leagues (some of it
my own fault), fantasy football left a sour taste in my mouth and I almost
pulled a Cam and completely walked away from all fantasy football at the end of
last season. However, thanks to both of my co-Commissioners in the DFFL
Franchise for talking me off the ledge (and also thanks to my wife’s advice),
here we sit, still active.
However, I am stating publicly here that I am currently only signing a 2-year
contract with the possibility of an extension at the end of those 2 seasons. If
there is anyone who wants to take over as Commissioner of any league in the
DFFL Franchise, please reach out and I will take you under my wing and teach
you all you need to know to properly run these leagues with a lot less effort
than I put into them. I completely understand that because of my medical
situation, I have way more time to dedicate to fantasy football than the rest
of you, but I am at least giving you guys a warning that 2026 & 2027 MAY be
the final seasons in all the leagues if no one wants to take them over. We will
discuss that more once the dates get closer.
2 – Finances:
All requested prize money was paid out the morning after the completion of the
Championship game.
Commissioner got $28.92 for running the league last year and the pot is now
back to $0.00
League fees increasing by $5 this season will likely ensure that there are no
more increases in the near future.
If anyone wants a copy of the financial statement, please feel free to ask.

Rob Rowe has left the DFFL2, Matt Dueck (from JSN NFL) has taken over his team.
