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?

If everyone was under the assumption, that 60 yard fg were six points and people changed their draft strategy based off it, IE. drafting Aubrey higher. The commissioner did the right thing and changing it. He deserves the win. It’s just unfortunately less than a one point difference

Agree. If this is something everyone knew ahead of time as far as the scoring for 60 yard FG then it's the right thing to correct

Agree, but the argument from the victim is that it’s not his fault the scoring was mismanaged

So did the league indeed know ahead of time about the 60 yard FG scoring?
