Next NDL Head Commish Announcement
One of the greatest things we've been fortunate to have in keeping NDL successful is great leadership.
From Jmo to Nolie to Mike to AJ to Buckeye, the peaceful "transition of power" lol if we must label it, has gone off pretty much without a hitch and the league always continues full speed ahead.
As most of you can guess it takes A FUCKING SHITLOAD OF TIME AND PATIENCE to run this league. It really to some degree becomes a HUGE part of your life where even when you're not on the internet and out there IRL, you're still thinking of the league and what you can do to keep it great or make it better and it takes ALOT out of you.
It's extremely tough to balance the ideas of 120 DIFFERENT guys, hear them then try to make the best decisions you can for the collective good of all involved....then have to deal with understandable non-positive reaction from those on the opposite side of the decision(s) that’s made.
Hopefully as everyone knows, even if you don’t agree with a decision, you do know that the commish make the decision they really think is best for the league.
As we continue to move forward, we are fortunate to have a pool of guys who dedicate hours of personal time to this little hobby of ours, to keep it running great. As we stated before, one of the best foresights by Jeff is that NDL unfortunately simply can not be a democracy. Things move to fast to always vote and sometimes the collective majority thought isn’t always the "right" thing for the league as a whole.
That being said as you know, the HEAD commish does have final authority on all matters related to NDL but he also has 4 former commishes which you may as well call assistant commishes who can help guide 1st timers through the ins and outs of successfully balancing what’s in the best interest for everyone.
It is thusly EXTREMELY important that we always have someone who again, makes the best choices they can for the league, is a strong and effective leader and who listens to the council of others to make those best decisions. We have been fortunate to have that so far and our good fortune continues as we believe we have found another.
Effective after season 28's end, JD (Niddler) will be our new head commish.
A HUGE thanks goes to Buckeye for the last 3 years for all the hard work he has put in. He will remain in an admin roll as #2 assisted by Mike, Nole and AJ.
Niddler was selected prior to season 27 and has been actively involved behind the scenes with EVERYTHING though he will as stated above, have the council of the former commishes to help out and move the NDL towards more of a gameplay community. We have a lot of great ideas how to make this a great gaming community and look forward to sharing these with everyone in the near future.
As most of you know Niddler's reputation in the league for gameplay is absolutely exemplary and as a conf commish, his activity rivals any of the best we’ve ever had. We are absolutely grateful that he has accepted this time commitment and we look forward to our new beginnings.

Re: Next NDL Head Commish Announcement
Thanks Corey. And thanks to everyone else. I've always said I love this league. I'm very humble in the fact that I was asked to help run it. It's been a blast, my wife may not think so.... but it really has. Honored really....Cnasty wrote:Thanks for everything Matt.
And you can't make everyone happy, but its always what's best for the NDL as a whole. Yeah, you'll have the people taking pop shots at you here and there (in scheduling threads too...) but its always been about the NDL.....
I thank you all. I look forward to helping out like Mike, Josh, AJ and Hoos have helped me.
Re: Next NDL Head Commish Announcement

Re: Next NDL Head Commish Announcement
1st I would like to thank Matt for everything he has done to keep the NDL the best gaming community going. You did a great job and have done alot of great things to keep us going.
Also I would like to thank Holmey for keeping the forum and all the SWEET ass shit he has added to the site for us to keep going forward.
And last I would like to say Congrats to JD again. I knew this was going down awhile ago, As you could see it coming. He is a good guy and will keep this gaming community going forward.
We all now need to work together to help create a gaming community not just built around NCAA now, and help him transition us to more of a open community towards all games.
Everyone up the ranks has put forth great amounts of time to help and keep it going, And to anyone who says its sunk/dead. All I can say is BYE, We don't need your negative thoughts or you here.
