\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
The QFL’s most notorious whistleblower was himself caught in a\u00c2\u00a0blatant cheating attempt over the Thanksgiving weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 While most of us were eating our turkey, TenQ was cooking up a desperate plan to topple his arch nemesis Quince.\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
TenQ was awarded two players in FA on Wednesday night, including a kicker which he inserted into his starting lineup Thursday morning.\u00c2\u00a0 The lineup change\u00c2\u00a0proves he knew exactly where his roster stood, however TenQ did not\u00c2\u00a0make the necessary cuts to get his roster in line and played the rest of the weekend with an illegal roster.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 TenQ brazenly ignored the Commissioner’s warnings to\u00c2\u00a0correct his roster all weekend,\u00c2\u00a0claiming to be “offline”.\u00c2\u00a0 Yet records show TenQ was very active on his blackberry throughout the holiday weekend.\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
League sources say TenQ, \u00c2\u00a0known as one of the League’s most active roster managers, knew exactly where his illegal roster stood despite playing dumb.\u00c2\u00a0 Even after making the cuts Sunday night, TenQ still remained $2 over the cap, raising\u00c2\u00a0fresh questions over his shady manipulation of the system.\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
In the end, TenQ was destroyed by Quince 90-45, taking some heat off the scandal.\u00c2\u00a0 However, league insiders know that this team is leaking oil badly despite its #2 seed and QFL North Title, and this act of desperation was perhaps a pathetic cry for help.\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
Timeline of events:
\n<\/span><\/strong>
\nWednesday night: TenQ picks up DeAngelo Williams ($12) and Billy
\nCundiff ($1) in FA.<\/p>\n

Thursday morning: TenQ cuts only Dan Carpenter, which shows TenQ knew
\nabout its successful FA bids.<\/p>\n

Saturday evening: An undercover agent informs the Commissioner’s
\nOffice that Ten Q’s active roster has 19 players. The Commissioner
\ninterrupts an important dinner with heads of other fantasy leagues to
\ntext message “Yo. Fix your roster. Standard fine.”<\/p>\n

Sunday morning at 9:25 am ET, Ten Q texts “What did I do? I’m out of
\ntown until teds party.”<\/p>\n

Less than 45 minutes later, the Commissioner texts “You have 19
\nplayers on your active roster.”<\/p>\n

Sunday afternoon at 3:56 pm ET (almost at the end of the 1 a.m.
\ngames): Ten Q texts “Pls drop laurent robinson I’m not online since
\nthursday Sincerest apologies for the error.” The Commissioner viewed
\nthe message while purchasing wine at Whole Foods, and was in no
\ncondition to make the transaction for Ten Q (even if he had
\nadministrator privileges in the software, which he doesn’t).<\/p>\n

Sunday evening at 8:29 pm ET: Ten Q cuts Laurent in the software.<\/p>\n

Monday morning: Commissioner informs Ten Q that another standard fine
\nwill be assessed: “Even if you didn’t have internet, you cannot ask
\nthe commissioner at 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon to make a cut that
\nshould have been made on Thursday.”<\/p>\n

Ten Q responds: “I will not challenge your decision (altho it is
\nexcessive) and I do apologize however in my defense I was not made
\naware of error until I plugged my phone back into grid at 1:53pm
\nsunday. At which point I felt it would appear less bad if I dropped a
\n4 o’clock player that hadn’t started yet so I had limited options
\nwhich is why it took me two hours to make a decision. I still love you
\nlaurent”<\/p>\n

Tuesday morning: Ten Q sends the Commissioner a “self-reporting
\nviolation”: “im still in violation. im $2 over cap. I did not account
\nfor my IR players. please advice.”<\/p>\n

Commissioner responds by calling Ten Q a “nightmare” and asking if the
\nerror will be remedied by cutting someone off of Ten Q’s IR. Ten Q
\nresponds by stating “I know. I’m sorry. I would prefer to find 2 on
\nactive roster…Also its no cuts tuesday. Ideally I would be allowed
\nto drop owen daniels”<\/p>\n

Commissioner’s position: “The problem is that you not only were able
\nto play this past week while over the cap with 19 players, but you
\nessentially have been
\nallowed to make cuts with the knowledge of how your players performed
\nin week 12.<\/p>\n

If you rectify the situation by cutting from your IR, I do not think
\nyou gained as much of an advantage since you are cutting a player
\n(besides Laurent) that you could not have used, and in light of your
\nself reporting, I can wrap your latest transgression into yesterday’s
\n$8 fine for failure to remedy your roster after the commissioner
\nalready warned you on Saturday night. However, if it’s from your
\nactive roster, I will have to fine you again, which I believe is now a
\n$16 fine.”<\/p>\n

Ten Q’s rebuttal: “My position is that I gained no advantage and bent
\nover backwards not to gain an advantage once I figured out what
\nhappened. I waived laurent before his game. Owen daniels did not play
\nand was not expected to play in week 12 so no advantage there either.
\nI could not have used owen daniels in week 12. Forcing me to waive
\nbrandon tate is a massive penalty not fitting the crime. Please
\nreconsider”<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
Commissioner’s\u00c2\u00a0Final Decision:
\n<\/span><\/strong>
\n1. Seth is fined a total of $20. $4 standard fine, $8 standard fine &
\nhalf of $16 standard fine;
\n2. The pardon is only to lesson the monetary impact. Seth’s next
\nstandard fine will be $32 and this Commissioner’s leniency should not
\nbe expected;
\n3. Seth should cut Owen Daniels tomorrow since it is too late to
\ninclude him in waivers this week;
\n4. Applications for the 2010-11 commissioner position are now being accepted.
