    one thing to find a good commish is to check posts from that individual. rip-off artists are usually just active at the beginning of seasons on the board, then hide.

    good commish's will post all year

    fyi

      Just saw this by coincidence...

      And felt like I needed to post because actually I don't entirely agree with what you just said that good commissioners post all year while rip-off artists do so only during spring training. I do agree there are plenty of scammers online, though, so we all have to pay attention when choosing a league and a commish.

      In my case I run several fantasy baseball money leagues but normally I only stop by these message boards during the spring just about a month to 40-50 days prior to the start of the season looking to fill the few empty spots that may come up; or hoping to find folks for an entirely new league. After the long baseball season I normally chill – only sporadically stopping by here - until next spring training rolls around since more often than not I skip the fantasy football season altogether to spend time with my family. But don’t get me wrong I do love football too and plan to someday put together football leagues that will compare to what I’m doing with my baseball leagues.

      I take my baseball prize leagues very seriously, though - to the extent of designing fancy itemized spreadsheets with all the finances and the most relevant stats for the year. I am currently working 24-7 to put online a website for the leagues. Check out my spreadsheets in dropbox (copy paste the links below to your browser) to get a slight idea of what I'm doing. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone's invited to my leagues as long as they have a valid yahoo email address and a LeagueSafe account because the money pot is safely kept there all season and disbursing is also done through LS.

      I plan to bring these four leagues again in 2012 plus two more leagues with different settings/formats. The entry-fee for the old leagues will stay the same as they are in the spreadsheets, but the new leagues will have buy-ins in the $100-$150 range.
