Tier 2: Short Form Tasks (400+ words)
12) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S23 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented? 5 TPE
Prior to joining the ISFL league two seasons ago, I participated in the SHL for two seasons. Before that I had absolutely no idea what a simulation league was or what they were about. I had played like Madden or NHL on the Xbox and did the create a player/story/season. So, when I found out about simulation leagues, kind of figured that it may be similar to that and I was somewhat right lol. But going into the ISFL I knew roughly it was the same as SHL and knew what I was getting into. I was recruited from the SHL and a player that was on my team and since I joined right after the trade deadline, I was scooped up by the DSFL team he was part of, Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. Now I did not know how they or any teams for that matter were doing and honestly just did my Point Tasks and whatever to get TPE and not really paid attention. Once the playoffs started, I looked and saw that MMB was doing great and got a trophy out of it. Felt welcomed when I first joined and winning that right away does not hurt either. After keeping up with every TPE I could I was sought after by all but one DSFL team and it felt great. Seemed like everyone wanted me to play for them at the linebacker position.
I was drafted by the Dallas Birddogs in the second round, pick number 10. I was asked if I minded staying as a linebacker but playing up at the line. Of course, I did not mind at all and it looked to work out for myself and the team. I had a decent amount of tackles for a rookie, a great number of tackles for a loss, caused a couple of fumbles and had an insane number of pass deflects for my position and rookie season. The team did not end up like we thought we would be after the first few games, and virtually ended up .500 and missing the playoffs in a tight race. Along the way though, I talked a lot in the locker room (Discord) and became friendly with everyone there, especially with my two GMs, Kyle and iStegosauruz.
Having a prosperous rookie lead to the same as when I was being scouted for the DSFL, seemed like I might go in the first round and could be a high pick. Got a ton of scouts talking to me, as well as team GMs, so once again felt great to be wanted and get to play right away. Had a very good rookie season having a lot of tackles for a rookie, 8 huge sacks, and a ton of pass deflects again. I was playing in a normal linebacker position this time but did even better than I did in the DSFL. Once again became friendly with my teammates in the locker room and excited to continue to learn more about them and meet the new people every season!
Do not have really anything now to comment on what needs to change in the league, mainly because we are in a current change already and can revisit this question once that has been implemented. As of right now I am really enjoying the league and look forward to continuing to grow in the league and succeed. Chicago is on the rise, so look out for the Butchers!!!

Tier 3: Written/Graphics Tasks
13) Create an argument for your own player, or for someone else on your team, as to why they should be nominated for awards. Lay out their stats or compare them to other contenders. Make a convincing case. 2.5 TPE
The player that I would argue to be nominated for an award would be my own teammate, Tyron Shields! I believe that they should be nominated for the Cornerback of the Year award, and not only being nominated but winning it. Shields lead all corners in tackles with 139 and that is 18 more than the next corner on the list of stats. Did alright with one tackle for a lost and recovered their only forced fumble. Tyron had 2 interceptions, which is right up there with all the other corners and was the middle of the pack to upper pack for pass deflects. Mr. Shields is also doing all of this as a rookie and on a team where their team’s defense may be on the field a lot during the season, so it shows Tyron’s endurance and grit.

15) Choose your favorite non-playoffs game of this season, whether your own team or another. Explain what was so special and why the winner ultimately came out victorious, including key players and moments. 2.5 TPE
The non-playoff game that I pick for being special is week 2 of the ISFL season between the Chicago Butchers at Philadelphia Liberty. This is special to me because it was Chicago’s first win of the season after having a round season ago and it was my players first win in ISFL! It was back and forth all game and had the Butchers up 13-3 at halftime. Liberty clawed their way back into the game and halfway through the fourth quarter, took the lead on a 1-yard touchdown to Avon Blocksdale Jr. For the rest of the fourth, neither team could move the ball much and come up with more points. Butchers got the ball with a few mins left and drove down the field and Sam Sidkick put it through the uprights with less than a minute remaining to give the Butchers the win! Some players of note for the game included Chicago’s running back, Julio Tirtawidjaja, who had 30 carries for 123 yards. On defense for Chicago, Hamish MacAndrew, had a stellar game at safety having 6 tackled and 2 huge interceptions! One that eventually lead to the game winning field goal with a few minutes remaining. Some notable Liberty include wide receiver, Vuxta, and running back, Torenson.
