Theme of the Leagues
- Gents will choose and create a team name and logo with the Leagues theme in mind,
- there will be a small, one time fee associated with this ($35) to be paid direct to our graphic artist
- Teams are responsible for uploading their team logo to their team homepage on Sleeper when that functionality is added to the platform.
Communication is vital and conducted within each Sleeper League’s Chat as well as the Sleeper Channel: Gents FF Gramophone (new in 2020)
- Gents are required to download the Sleeper app to their phone and check in for announcements/information on a regularly basis and utilize this tool for as their Primary League Communications.
- Responsiveness and interaction are the foundation of a strong League and therefore it is expected that Gentlemen stay active on the app.
- Gentlemen will act and conduct themselves in a Gentlemanly way. If this has to be explained then perhaps a reevaluation of membership to The Leagues is in order
the Commissioner is responsible for seeking out, vetting, interviewing and signing up new Gents to fill any opening resulting from the departure of an owner from The League using any number of resources, including:
- Current owners may bring forward a nominee to the attention of the Commissioner. At that time the nominee will fill out an Application and a decision will be made at that time whether or not to extend an invitation. This method of sourcing new Gents is highly preferable considering all current Gents should (and will be) in good standing.
- A classified ad seeking interested owners will be published on certain websites that cater specifically to the serious fantasy football community at-large. Same application process will follow as noted above.
- All new franchise owners will play their way up, starting as a Probationary Gentleman in the Jellybean League.
- All new franchise owners will participate as a Probationary Gent in their first year
- AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROBATIONARY GENT’S FIRST SEASON THERE WILL BE A DECISION TO UPGRADE THEM TO FULL GENT OR TO PART WAYS.
- Full compliance to these Frameworks is all a Probationary Gent need be concerned with doing in order to be upgraded to Full Gent Status going into his second year.
At his discretion, the Commissioner reserves the right to remove any Franchise owner that displays un-Gentlemanly behavior of any kind.
Examples of behaviors that may warrant excommunication from The Leagues include (but are not limited to):
- Collusion of any kind, either provable to or inferred by the Commissioner,
- Harassing other Gents in a way that causes individual or league-wide concern,
- Not regularly engaging socially through primary League chat communication on Sleeper,
- Not paying via PayPal in a timely manner (before or by Commissioner deadlines)
- Playing illegal lineups (see Settings: Roster Management)
