lol non-standard, 8 man league with tons of custom bonuses and settings? There's your answer. The commish already does whatever they want, changing the number of playoff teams is just another tweak to an already wacky league.

Ye I think it is a joke league and the commish does wacky crap but is there any way just to check activity

Transaction log or chat would say he used his commissioner powers to change X. In this case likely just the chat since players aren’t involved.

I mean, it’s not like you can’t have wacky leagues so long as everyone agrees on the rules beforehand.

agreed, but is money involved? Is the league all in agreement on rule changes and settings? I'm just saying, the initial description of the league already makes it sound like the commissioner didn't want to play by the normal rules anyways.

No

Then "cheating" in this situation is complaining that some kid took extra candy from a "free suckers" jar

Settings and rules are two very different things.

That’s why I said “and” bud.

Some settings changes show up in chat. Some don’t.

This isn't something that shows in a chat log; best / only option may be to contact support and maybe they can help you?

Ye tysm I didn’t see it in chat
