2.2. GFHL Membership

Membership in the League will be granted by the Commissioner and the Co-Commissioner, but any League owner can nominate someone to join the League. Franchise ownership will be granted at the Commissioner’s discretion based on the following factors: closeness of friendship with other owners in the League, reputation in other fantasy sports leagues, conduct in social media group settings, and the availability of a franchise in the League. If no franchise is available, the prospective owner will be placed on a waiting list pending franchise availability. Owners have the right to return to the league year-to-year as long as they remain in good standing with the league and are past their first-year probationary period. First-year owners may return to the League pending a vote by multi-year owners and/or at the discretion of the Commissioner and Co-Commissioner. First-year owners can be removed from the league without warning if their behavior and conduct are a detriment to the League.

Our hope is that all GFHL members enjoy their time in the League so much that they feel compelled to return year after year, but we understand that’s not always possible. In the event that an owner needs to leave the league for any reason, all ownership and administrative rights to that team will transfer to a new owner. All players on the roster from the current or most recent season will transfer to the new owner.
