TOTAL SPORTS BUREAU
The Bureau was created prior to the 2003 season. Before its advent, the Commissioner was in charge of all the decision-making. Since the league had grown and gotten more competitive, it was decided by the Commissioner to open up critical decisions with league-savy players. In 2007, the Bureau was changed so that it reflected all the sports in the Total Sports Confederation, not just PFL.
The Commissioner is the founder and therefore keeps this office for life. The Commissioner is in charge of creating schedules, maintaining stats, upkeeping the website, listening/responding to complaints, and proposing new or changed rules.
The Deputy Commissioner is the person in charge whenver the Commissioner is unable to run the league due to vacations, computer problems, etc. The Deputy Commissioner will also help out the Commissioner whenever needed. The Deputy Commissioner does not have to pay for his/her membership and also is allowed to have one friend/relative receive free membership for serving this office.
The Senators are appointed by the Commissioner. Senators exemplify the near-consumate role models for others to look up to. They show the spirit and willingness to make Total Sports more fun, fair, and "futuristic". Senators assist the Commissioner with some of the following tasks: voting on rule changes or players of the month, writing articles, keeping forum discussions going, recruiting members, etc...There is no set limit to the number of Senators in the Bureau, nor do current Senators have a set period of serving. It is up to the Commissioner's disgression to remove a Senator at any time. Depending on the level of helpfulness and league spirit a Senator has, the Commissioner may offer free or cheaper membership rates. Senators will also be offered free sponsorship. If they run their own leagues or own a small company, the Commissioner will place their logo on the main site-free of charge.
| COMMISSIONER |
 | John Krygier - is the founder of this league many years ago. He has always enjoyed creating leagues with friends over anything. He is not a big fan of Fantasy Leagues because they stress individual stats over rooting for teams. He use to play a pick'em league with the Arena League on the internet which has similar rules to the future PFL. However, he was distressed to find that the league started charging high prices and dropped out quickly. It was his goal to create his own league that was affordable (non-profit), competitive, and fun. John resides in the great Garden State- home of the largest property tax rates. He's been married to RoseAnn since 2001 and has one son, Garrett, and one chocolate lab, Nestle. John is a fifth grade teacher.

 | Roy Andrews - I'm a retired French-Spanish teacher from the Boston Public Schools who is lately spending way too much time on fantasy sports. I've very much enjoyed my experience in the PFL leagues as the competition is outstanding. Having had season tickets for the Patriots for 35 years I've seen a lot of really bad football. Hockey is my favorite sport as I live and die with Les Habs; also root for the Washington Nats, NY Yankees, LSU Tigers and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Guess it's ironic that I most enjoy the couple of weeks I spend every summer at my family cabin in Cape Breton with no electricity, running water or internet!
