"One (1) time per career a player may choose to switch positions. If a player chooses to switch to a new position they must have their GM post in the ISFL GM area that the player is officially switching positions."
The GM does not posses power in that writing. The player does. The player is who is listed as choosing. The player is who is listed as being required to have their GM post it. The language of the rule puts power and/or responsibility explicitly in the player's hands. To say the rule states the GM must sign off is just not accurate to me because it does not actually state that. It's not even there for any reason of power. It's there because position switches are in the GM section that players cant see. It's there for functionality.
I have never in 3+ years seen that line in that rule interpreted to mean that GMs have an active control on a player's position switch. I can't even remember seeing it discussed. This is both not a good development and in my opinion, explicitly at odds with how the rule is actually written, what it's intent was, and the good of the league.
On top of that I guess it didn't take long for houses to be turned into cheap condos.
Assuming this is all accurate.
