# Commissioner Tools

> Advanced tools for running your league

The commissioner is the manager who created the league. The commissioner can also make other managers league admins from the league `Settings` page — admins can manage the league, while ownership stays with the commissioner.

## League Settings

Most league rules can be changed from `Settings` → `Edit` at any time, including the waiver format, trades on or off, auto subs, playoffs, custom scoring, and squad rules. A few structural settings — draft type, visibility, lineup and bench size, and team count — are locked once the draft starts.

Before the draft, the commissioner can also remove teams from the league or delete the league entirely.

## Draft Controls

During the draft, admins can start, pause, resume, or restart the draft, set a custom draft order beforehand, and use `Force Pick` to end a turn. See [Snake Draft](/essentials/snake#league-admin) for details.

## Fixing Things Mid-Season

The `Commissioner Tools` section on the league `Settings` page has tools for sorting out problems during the season:

### Edit Team Budgets

Adjust any team's FAAB waiver budget or leftover auction balance.

### Force a Trade

Swap a player onto a team without needing anyone to accept. Pick the team, the player to drop, and the player to bring in — owned or unowned. The final squads must remain valid, and the move is recorded in the league's trade history as an admin-forced trade. This is useful for correcting mistakes or completing a deal agreed outside the app.

Forced trades are available in private leagues once the draft is complete, and can't be undone.

### Force-Drop Players

Drop every player from a team and replace them with low-rated unowned players. Useful for freeing up a squad when a manager has abandoned the league. This can't be undone.

### Reverse a Trade

Admins see a `Reverse` button next to each completed trade in the League Trades history. Trades that included FAAB can't be reversed automatically — adjust the teams' FAAB budgets manually instead.

## Cups

Commissioners can create and manage knockout cups from the `Cup Setup` page. See [Cups and Playoffs](/essentials/cups).
