Commissioner Control
Full authority over your league — manage rosters, resolve disputes, adjust settings, and keep the competition fair.
How It Works
The Commissioner is the ultimate authority in an Atlas Fantasy league. As commissioner, you have the power to manage every aspect of your league — from initial setup through the championship. This includes roster moves, trade approvals, scoring corrections, and dispute resolution.
Commissioner powers are designed to be transparent. Every action taken by the commissioner is logged in the league's audit trail, visible to all members. This ensures trust and accountability while giving the commissioner the tools needed to run a fair league.
Commissioner Powers
Add/drop players on behalf of any team, move players to/from IR, set lineups for inactive managers.
Push through trades, veto trades, reverse completed trades within 48 hours.
Add or remove points for any team in any week. Useful for stat corrections or league-specific rules.
Edit the regular season schedule, adjust playoff seeding, and modify matchups.
Invite new members, remove inactive managers, transfer team ownership, and set co-commissioners.
Set draft order, pause/resume live drafts, make picks on behalf of absent managers, undo picks.
Process waivers manually, award disputed claims, and adjust FAAB budgets.
Modify any league setting at any time (with audit trail). Lock settings to prevent mid-season changes.
Transparency & Audit Trail
Every commissioner action is automatically logged with a timestamp, description, and the affected teams/players. All league members can view the audit trail at any time from the league settings page.
The audit trail includes: roster moves made on behalf of other teams, scoring adjustments, trade overrides, setting changes, draft modifications, and member management actions. This ensures complete transparency and helps prevent abuse of commissioner powers.
Co-Commissioners
Commissioners can appoint up to 3 co-commissioners who share most commissioner powers. Co-commissioners can manage rosters, process trades, and handle day-to-day operations. However, only the primary commissioner can modify league settings, remove members, or transfer league ownership.
Co-commissioner actions are also logged in the audit trail, clearly attributed to the specific co-commissioner who performed the action.
Best Practices
- 1Communicate first. Before making any commissioner action, communicate with the affected managers. Post in the league chat explaining what you're doing and why.
- 2Establish rules early. Set clear league rules before the season starts — trade review process, inactive team policy, and tiebreaker rules. Put them in writing.
- 3Use co-commissioners. Appoint a trusted co-commissioner to handle operations when you're unavailable. This prevents delays in trade processing and waiver claims.
- 4Be impartial. As commissioner, you're also a competitor. Recuse yourself from decisions that directly affect your team and let a co-commissioner handle those situations.
