Читать книгу Fantasy Football For Dummies - Martin A. Schulman - Страница 66

Do you like the idea of playing in a private fantasy league, but you’ve never been invited to join one? (Check out the “Joining the private sector: An invitation required” section earlier in this chapter.) Are you organized, blessed with good communication and decision-making skills, a glutton for punishment — and perhaps a bit of a control freak? Have you considered starting your own fantasy league and inviting your friends and coworkers to play? If so, you’re a prime candidate to become a league commissioner. Everything that a commissioner needs to know could be an entire Dummies book, but this section covers the basics.

If you don’t have experience playing fantasy sports, I urge you to reconsider founding a league before you play in one. Spend a couple seasons getting your feet wet and discovering all the nuances of fantasy football before you start your own league and become a commissioner (see Chapter 4, where I recommend joining a practice league). However, if you’ve been playing fantasy football for a few years, this section can help you take your game to the next level. I’ve been a fantasy football commish, and it’s lots of work for little reward, but it can be very satisfying if your league is a success and coaches want to return year after year.
