I'm sorry but I have to LOL at this.

A couple of years ago I was playing in an afl (aussie rules football) management game, with about 30 or so teams (one team per player).

As a 'kid' (in college) I had heaps of spare time, and spent most of it wheeling and dealing to get myself a 'super team'. Every year a team would come out of the blue to dominate, with my team usually finishing 3rd or 4th.

One draft day, the commish (who also ran a team) picked a player with unreal ratings (straight away in best 10 players in league) with the 20-something pick, a player that wasn't on anybody elses list.

I quit, along with two or three other players, and it suddenly came out that the commish was in fact running seven teams, another player six, another four, and a couple of others running two. Turns out there was me, and some '3rd div' teams (1st season teams) that were run properly, and 80% were double-ups.

They'd kept it up for four or so seasons, with little to no suspician, despite the fact the commish went back-to-back the leagues first two seasons.
