Hello everyone,
The S24 ISFL Rules Summit has recently come to a close. GMs and Head Office members were encouraged to submit proposed changes to the rulebook, and those same individuals then voted on the proposed changes. With 18 eligible voters (one representative from each NSFL team, four Head Office members, one simmer, and one league owner), a proposal needed 13 "yes" votes in order to pass.
Below is the full list of proposed rule changes and the final voting results for each.1.No player may hold more than 2 league jobs without prior approval. Contract work such as off-season events and wiki do not count against this total.
8-10
2. Changes to User Hall of Fame, including- 2/3 to be inducted- 3 ballots before being removed from the ballot- current nominees are grandfathered for next season. Users can be renominated.
17-1
3. Implement a formal external budget department tasked with tracking contracts. This would remove the burden of documenting signings in the current budget sheet from GMs, as well as streamlining the budget check process, allowing issues to be found early and resolved quickly. It would also streamline the assembly of the FA list.This rule would require the reworking of rules II.D.1.d to remove team punishment for the specified error
13-5
4.Inactive players with 57 TPE or less are not required to be in the ISFL draft. Players fitting this criteria will be auto-retired upon end of the DSFL season.
14-4
5. The free agency thread will be posted at the conclusion of the final set of regular season games. A player becomes a free agent if their contract has expired, or when they choose to exercise a contract option. A team may discuss a potential contract with a player as soon as they become a free agent, even if that player's team is still in contention, but may not sign new players until the conclusion of the Ultimus.
9-9
6. Remove the limit of 2 rule proposals per team or HO member
8-10
7.Agents fee halved from $10M to $5M
7-11
8. If a team runs the "Spread Playbook" in two or more offensive scenarios, (Excluding 4th And Long & Last 2 Min [Behind]), that teams QB must have the mobile QB box checked.
8-10
9. EXPANSION DRAFT PROTOCOL
* Each existing team may protect as many as 9 players from its roster.
> A full roster (including 1 user OL) requires 19 user players; 9 protections allows an existing team to protect just under half of its starting roster.
> Players from the most recent draft class are automatically protected and do not count against this total.
* Alternatively, a team may forego any number of its protections for an equal number of free agent passes.
> A non-expansion team may only sign as many of its own free agents as it has free agent passes available.
* Any contract option must be exercised 24 hours prior to the start of the expansion draft.
* If a protected player chooses to exercise a contract option, that protection instead becomes a free agent pass unless the team specifies otherwise.
* An expansion draft lasts 12 rounds total.
> As stated above, a full roster (including 1 user OL) requires 19 user players; 12 selections allows an expansion team to fill just under two-thirds of its starting roster, not including rookie draft(s).
* The maximum number of players that can be taken from an existing team's roster will be equal to the number of expansion teams being added to the league.
> This ensures that no existing team suffers too lopsided a loss to expansion.
> This does not include the expansion teams' GM players, who need not be taken through the expansion draft process.
11-7
10. Position switches will allow a player to change everything about the player including height and weight, but it still follows the TPE distribution guidelines.
16-2
11. Return of Weekly Predictions for each game and No More Trivia: 1. All 16 regular season weeks will have a Predictions PT worth 0.5 TPE per correct game 2. No more Trivia 3. PT's revert back to 3 TPE per PT instead of 4 TPE. This allows for Weekly Predictions to come back without changing the overall TPE a player can earn each season.
14-4
12. All players selected in the expansion draft cannot sign with their original team the following off season through free agency (trades acceptable)
.
