Tier 1 - Option 7:
I came over from PBE to join the ISFL / DSFL, I work with data for my day job, and obviously I love baseball. That being said, you
can probably assume by now that I am a bit of a stat junkie weirdo. I am still learning how the ISFL simulation games and stat gathering works, however I am excited to compile stats from the games and use them in my articles. The ISFL obviously has a pretty rich history and seems to be growing rather rapidly, so I think it would be really awesome to get involved in the stats and data tracking; either independently or perhaps as an official league job if something like that ever opens up. I still have a lot to learn about how all this works so any ideas or plans I have now may not be possible or make a lot of sense. I'm still fairly new in PBE all things considered but I think that a lot of those skills/resources should translate over as I learn and grow in both leagues.
My first thoughts go to whether we could put something together for the ISFL that's like the PBE's index, for stats/box scores and stuff like that. Like I said before, I am still brand new to ISFL so perhaps this stuff already exists and I just haven't seen it yet. I know for the Prospect Bowls we had to watch the streams and try to extract stats for ourselves from the video. I would assume there is something more automated for the primary league; that or there are people assigned as a job to extract that data, compile/prepare it, and make it servable to the rest of the league. If this doesn't exist yet, maybe its something we really need to have a conversation about. If something like this does exist, then I would be interested in joining that team and helping out.
I am guessing there is something in place already since the league already does the MVP awards and that sort of thing; so obviously they're already extracting the stats somehow they probably just don't do it for the Prospect Bowls. Regardless of how its done, I am interested and would enjoy being on that team or at least having access to that data for my own stuff.
I also co-host the streams a bit in the PBE, so maybe that is something else I could help out with in ISFL/DSFL? I don't really have any experience in calling football games but I think its something I could catch on to pretty quickly. I've not yet gotten into GM/Front Office stuff in any of my sim leagues, however this football league may be a good opportunity for me to get into management if it comes up. Learning the teams and players is usually the hardest part and just being around the league for a season or two should help solve that.
All-in-all I am pretty excited to join the ISFL and really pumped to follow my player after getting drafted in the 3rd round by the Portland Pythons. I think I have a lot to offer the league so I will be keeping my eye open for any fitting job opportunities. If nothing else, I believe I should be a long-time member and be sure to keep my player as close to max earnings as I can. Looking forward to the season starting next week and seeing where things go from here. If anyone out there is on the stats team or the stream-hosting teams don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Thanks!
