Tier 2 15) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S25 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?
My time in the International Simulation Football League has been pretty good so far. I've already been a part of the Simulation Hockey League and Professional Baseball Experience so this league is the last one for me to join. One of the first things off the bat that I noticed is the website. Updating and doing stuff like posting, in general, is much easier than in the PBE. I do think that it is hard to get to the player transactions. I wish it was directly linked on the sidebar and not through the bank. I always forget where to go when I want to purchase training or equipment. One of my favorite things about this league is the media and presentation aspect. Everything from the draft to the daily simulations looks fantastic and adds an element to it that is unmatched. For my player I am pretty happy. I was very indecisive on what I wanted to create. In the PBE I really understood the archetypes and how they would fit into the sim, and the same is true of the SHL. You can pick a position but you really know what you are getting when you increase attributes since there aren't any archetype caps. I love football and understand every aspect of it, but I don't know what defenses teams are running or how the sim sees people. Like Defensive Ends gets barely any sacks at all, and cornerbacks rarely lead the league in interceptions. Those things you would think would be common knowledge and would happen but as a new create I basically had to ask around to see pros and cons of each position. "Some don't get stats, this build is really the only viable one for this position, etc." So thinking I was creating a 3-4 Outside Linebacker only to realize that everyone runs the nickle basically was a surprise. In the end it isn't that much of a downer but these are little things that even football fans might not know about the simulation. Overall my time in the ISFL has been awesome and I'm really looking forward to the ISFL draft. I was excited about the DSFL draft and honestly had no idea where I would land, and the same is true for the ISFL draft. I have met many different people, too many to name , but every Locker Room I have been to and person I have talked to has been awesome and pretty insightful. The scouting is always really awesome and I think that the scouting in this league has been the best so far. Some of the questions are really great and getting to know each team inside and out is always fun when you are a new user. Leonard Taylor is ready to take on the ISFL and get a new home. 473 words

Tier 3 29) Some positions are still under appreciated. Talk about the offensive linemen and/or special teamers on your squad. Show how they have contributed to the team, both on and off the field, and why they deserve recognition.
Richard Littlewood is part of my draft class and a fellow Myrtle Beach Buccaneer. He has been excellent in the locker room all season and has really brought this offensive line together this season. He has been a vital part to keeping Jackie Daytona upright this year and won many awards along the way. Myrtle Beach's offensive line led the Developmental Simulation Football League in pancakes and allowed the fewest amount of sacks. We had multiple award winners enroute to a a South division title and an 11 and 3 record. The offensive line set the tone week in and week out. Littlewood, just a rookie, was sixth in pancakes and only allowed 1 sack all season. This was second best on the team and easily the best for a rookie this season. Ajay Krishna paced the league with 65 pancakes. 4 better than the second place offensive lineman. Our offense was able to fire on all cylinders all season long because our offensive line was simply better than everyone else. When the Bucs were forced to punt or kick a field goal Leo Bloomfield was amazing. He had the longest punt average of any punter in the league and converted 87% of his kicks this season. Not surprising he had the longest field goal of the season. Myrtle Beach excelled in the trenches and in the kicking game this year which definitely helped them on their way to the playoffs. 241 words
