Stacking the Bench

After doing a lot of research and thought I have made a decision on the Stacking The Bench situation.  I even called ESPN to get further information on the situation.

Please notice the 2 attached pictures.

There apparently is a glitch in ESPN online Free Fantasy Football League where as that even though there is a bench limit of 5 you can for some reason you are able to have greater than that amount.  The rule also says 14 starters and 5 on bench.  In a Free ESPN League I can’t set a limit of the amount on the bench.

Here is my decision, you are free to decide whether or not you want 2 Cornerbacks active in a game as long as you play 1, but you you can not have more than 6 on the bench if you have 13 starters.  You also must play the Linebacker.

If this is not acceptable and you wish to leave the league I will gladly reimburse you and then release all of your players for the other teams have the opportunity to pick up your players.

I hope this ends this debate because there was no easy way to do this.  Sometimes you have to make a decision as the Commissioner that will not please everyone, but this was something I had to do.
