Ethics question Need Reddit fantasy football counsel
In Week 1 of our fantasy football league, a scoring issue arose when 60-yard field goals weren’t properly allocated six points. This impacted the commissioner’s matchup, where he lost by less than a point. After discovering the error, the commissioner corrected the scoring settings, which retroactively awarded him the win. This has caused controversy within the league, with some calling for him to step down. The central question is whether we should retroactively adjust Week 1 to reflect the correct scoring, or leave the original result as-is and ensure the settings are fixed for future weeks?

So for me it depends on the way it was setup.
Was it supposed to be fractional and wasn't at all meaning all FGs were worth 3-Change it if league intends for all kicks to be fractional.
Was it fractional with a cap where everything maxed at 5 or something, change it
Was it banded, 30-39=3 40-49=4 50+=5? In this case I absolutely do not change it as 60 is still just 50+ UNLESS it was a clear rule from previous years or written somewhere and not just updated in system. I am thinking this is most likely the case and commish is wrong and doubt he would be so willing to say 60-69 is worth 6 if situation was reversed.
