Task #13 +5 TPE
My experience in the league so far has been great. There has been lots of helpful people I have interacted with so far. Not one person has been rude and everyone has been very nice. It's fun trying to earn as much TP as possible to improve your player. I enjoy watching my player play and make an impact on a game.
I was surprised about the entire process of being drafted. Going through the scouting process was something I did not expect. Again, everyone was very helpful during the scoring process and answered all of my questions. A lot of questions were your basic questions but some people threw some random, interesting questions at you. Watching the draft was a cool experience. I would have approached my player build a little differently had a I known what to expect prior.
A few things that would be helpful would be a scale of how each attribute correlates with your overall player rating. I know that there is a a diagram stating which attributes are more important for your position, but I'd like somthing that days "increase your strength to 40 to gain 1 overall" or somthing like for every 4 increase to strength you gain one overall. Each attribute to have a different scale for each position.
One thing that I wasn't really prepare for was my players playing time. Now I was starting nickle back and 2 straight games my team didn't move out of base defense. Its discouraging to see your team lose and you didn't play one snap. When I started I just assumed that my player played the entire game and that was that. I didnt expect to be on the bench. Perhaps when people create a player that there could be a post about that starting off your player might not see a lot of game time. You need to earn TP to improve your player and not to be discouraged if you dont see a lot of snaps as a rookie. If there is a post like this, I missed it.
After my 1st season in the DSFL I'm being scouted for the ISFL. I keep being asked about what kind of contract I'd like. I have no idea. A post about what to expect or to look for in a contract would be helpful.
Overall I have enjoyed my time so far and I looking forward to continuing to improve my player and help my team win. I dont necessarily think anything needs to improve, just a little more reading material and some dos and donts for beginners would be helpful.

Task 20 +2.5 TPE
Mason Gillion CB Tijuana Luchadores
Age 20
Height (ft.): 6' 2"
Weight (lbs.): 195 lbs
TPE 163
In limited playing time this season Gillion has proven his big play potential. Primarily played in nickel situations only, but has the ability to play every down. In his limited playing time he was tied for 1st in defensive TDs with 2 pick sixes. He also was tied for 3rd with 3 ints. His first int he returned for 27 yards. As soon as he gets the ball in his hands there is a good change he returns in for a TD.
He doesn't have blazing fast speed or raw strength, but what he lacks in speed and strength he makes up for in endurance. He will still at full strength late in the game or on a long drive to make the play he needs to make.
His strength is man to man, press coverage. With his height, weight and endurance he can handle the biggest WR in the ISFL. Although he isnt a max TPE, he has shown consistent grown and will be an asset to any team who drafts him. He may need one more season in the DSFL which will greatly benefit him, but after that he will be a solid starter in the isfl and make an impact.

Task 23 +2.5 TPE
Here is a list of pro bowl skills competitions that I think would not only be interesting, but showcase some of the unheralded players. Offense and defensive line players don't the glammer or glory as the some of the other players but they are just as important. They also have a unique skill set that other skill positions simply cannot do.
Pancake Eating competition - Those guys can eat a lot of food. It takes hard work to maintain that body weight and still be athletic.
High dive splash - biggest splash wins. big guys, big splashes.
A relay race with o line and d line from each conference.
Tug-of-war - same teams as the relay race
Sumo wrestling - oline vs oline and dline vs dline in opposite conferences.
A strong man competition - lifting the heavy stones, tracker pull, the most reps bench pressing 225lbs, etc.
SFC south wins this easily. The NFC north had the top 3 teams in sacks allow last season. Clearly the O Lines are strong in the SFC. SFC also had 2 of the top 3 teams in sacks.
Goat Tank had 7 sacks and a DT. That's a monster year for a DT. I think he also dominates everyone in these competitions. Although Clay Stallworth gives him a run for his money. He had 71 pancakes this season. No one else even had 60.
