Chronicles

History & champions

Founded: 2026. This is the inaugural season, so there are no past champions on record.

Original members: Alex (Fucking Island Boys), Patrick (Run the Baugh), Connor (Enter Sandell), Morgan (Supply and Demond), Dillon (Kamario Kart), Ryan (Not Malachi Toney), Nate (Nate's Notable Team), Andres (Andres's Amazing Team), Trevor (trev's Brilliant Team), Griffin (HEI2MAN).

Notable moments:

  • The draft: 170 picks across 17 rounds. Jeremiah Smith (OSU WR) went No. 1 overall to Alex, Jadan Baugh (FLA RB) No. 2 to Patrick, and Malachi Toney (MIA WR) No. 3 to Connor.
  • August 28: buy-in deadline. Patrick paid about a minute late and the Commissioner ruled the written penalty did not apply, issuing a warning instead. The Commissioner also posted a conflict-of-interest retraction that day. Both are in Statements.
  • Week 1: Andres opened with 203.40, the current season high, and still had to beat Patrick's 171.60 to get the win.
  • Week 2: Connor posted 70.34, the current season low.
  • Week 3: Morgan hit 172.72 to beat Nate, Dillon knocked off first-place Andres, and Nate fell to 0-3.
  • Week 4: Trevor beat Connor 147.38 to 93.48, a 53.90-point margin and the new biggest blowout in league history. Dillon beat Nate to take over 1st place, Nate fell to 0-4, and Andres dropped for the third straight week to 94.78.
  • Week 5: Ryan beat Morgan 143.10 to 73.12, a 69.98-point margin that broke the blowout record Trevor had set one week earlier. Trevor beat Andres for his fourth straight win and took over 1st place. Nate got his first win of the season, 133.56 over Griffin, ending his four-game losing streak. Connor lost his fourth straight and fell to last place. Patrick passed Andres for the league lead in points scored.

The Patrick late payment scandal

Original rule, as stated: "Official punishment will be forfeiting your FLEX position every week until you pay. Every week you don't pay you'll be required to pay an additional $10 fee."

This league runs on honesty and integrity. As Commissioner, I am owning up to it: the rule was written poorly, and Patrick should not eat a penalty for that.

Patrick paid about a minute after the deadline. The rule only covers ongoing non-payment, and since he did pay, it doesn't apply. No penalty.

He has, however, been issued an official NDL rules violation warning, entered into the official NDL Book of Record, Section D: Rules Violations.

As Commissioner, I run a strongly integrity-based league. Honesty is the number one priority here, and that is exactly what I delivered today.

Matter closed.

August 28, 2026 · Commissioner conflict of interest — retraction

League —

Over the last few minutes I've thought hard about a decision I made using this position, and I want to address it directly.

When Patrick was late on his buy-in, I texted him proposing he trade me Iowa D in exchange for me not enforcing his FLEX penalty. No trade was actually executed — nothing changed hands — but the offer itself was wrong. Using the commissioner role to try to extract value from a member, even informally, even if it never went through, is not how this league should be run.

Here's what I'm doing about it:

  • I'm retracting that offer completely. Patrick owes me nothing, and I asked him for something I shouldn't have.
  • Going forward, any rule enforcement or waiver will be posted in the group chat before I act on it. No side deals, no DMs negotiating penalties.
  • Patrick's payment ruling stands on its own, separate from this: he paid 1 minute late, the written rule doesn't technically penalize a same-day payment, so he's getting an official warning and nothing more.

This doesn't undo the fact that I tried to use the position for personal gain. I'm sorry to Patrick specifically, and to the rest of you for putting the league's trust in this seat at risk. Being commissioner means running this fairly for everyone, not leveraging it for my own roster. I'll hold myself to that the rest of the year.
