There are times when your league's commissioner may go silent for days, weeks, or even months. As a fantasy player, it can become very frustrating, especially if an issue arises or you need commish to take an action that only they can do. 

It's a big reason we recommend having 2 or 3 commissioners in each league. But if you only have one, that's okay. We can help you out. 

First, we ask that you or somebody in your league create a poll in the league chat. This way, your leaguemates can help decide who should be assigned as a commissioner. 

Here's an example:

Your leaguemates should have a discussion and a poll to help nominate someone for the new commish role. For the vote to be valid, the nominated commissioner must receive majority approval from league members.

Once your league has decided on somebody, please contact us at [email protected] and include the following details: Alternatively, you can submit this information through the app's support chat for quicker assistance.

We will then take a look at your league and award the desired user with commissioner status. We will not remove the commissioner status from the previous user. That is up to you and your league to decide.

A majority vote is required to proceed with the reassignment. Encourage all members to participate in the poll to ensure a valid outcome.

No, Sleeper does not have an in-app feature for members to transfer commissioner powers independently. Support intervention is required to finalize the reassignment. If the current commissioner’s account is deleted or they are unresponsive, mention this in your submission to support. Additionally, if multiple leagues are affected, include the league IDs for all impacted leagues in your submission.
