The S24 DSFL Rules Summit results are in and tabulated! DSFL GMs, DSFL HO, and the DSFL awards committee proposed rules to be voted on this season. With 12 eligible voters (one representative from each DSFL team, three Head Office members, and one DSFL simmer), a proposal needed 9 "yes" votes in order to pass. Below is the full list of proposed rule changes and the final voting results for each.
1. Raise pay for new creates to $6m. $5m was intended to cover a 5 week season, and now that seasons are one week longer new creates should get $1m extra to cover the cost of weekly trainings for that week.
12-0
2. Have a separate “Playoff MVP Award” along with the League MVP.
5-7
3. Separate DLotY into DEotY and DTotY
10-2
4. Separate DBotY into CBotY and SotY
11-1
5. General Managers receive a forum trophy if their team wins the Ultimini.
6-6
6. Get rid of this phrase entirely: "Any inactive players not listed in the roster audit by the due date will count as being released by their current rights-holder and will be available on a first-come-first-served basis."*
*Proposal will go into effect immediately as it doesn't rely on or disrupt any planning or foresight by the members of the league.
11-1
7. Eliminate separate divisions in the DSFL. Now that we're at 8 real teams who all play the same schedule, the teams with the 4 best records should make the playoff. Best record plays worst record for the four, middle two teams play each other. Subsequently home field advantage should go to the two teams with the best record.
0-12
Proposals 1, 3, and 4 were successfully passed and will go into effect next season.
