*Something I dislike about the league

[Baron1898]

Third question. This question confuses me. I have been part of this league for like a month and know basically nothing about it.

You're in luck, because joining a war room is one of the best ways to learn a lot about the league very quickly! They're not asking you to do work for their team/commit to joining their war room before you've been drafted, that would be kinda silly. They're asking if you think it's something you'd be interested in down the line, which seems like a reasonable question to me. Plus, if someone has no idea what a war room is/what purpose it actually serves, I think scouting conversations are as good a time as any for them to learn more.

I can respect this.

I figured a war room was where the team management chatted, which makes sense why it’s called a war room. So I thought it meant everyone in there had a role whether it be scouting, locker room helper, etc. When I heard “would you want to join our war room” from GMs I guessed they wanted to use me to fill a role.

Some people are in war rooms just because they want to know all the behind-the-scenes stuff but don't actually contribute in the sim or scouting or anything.

...Not that I would know about that. (Zayn please don't kick me out)

Anyways, to briefly address #2, position switching is absolutely huge in the ISFL and is definitely important for GMs to know so I understand why it's asked all the time. Draftees who can be a Swiss Army knife are really coveted, and without asking, you never know if the person you are scouting is willing to switch to whatever or if they are set on being a kicker for whatever reason even when they have more TPE than anyone else on the team... again, not that I would know about that.

Did you guys know Antonio Gates played college basketball?

I agree with others that the position switch question is really important for teams, as the best strategy for drafting is usually drafting user over position and being able to grab great users that are position flexible is great for a team. However I will agree with you to a certain degree that this can at least be brought up better. I tried to do this by asking users first about why they picked their position and how they've been enjoying playing that position. This helps ease into the question of if a user wants to stay at their position in a way that prioritizes their experience.

Bang on, great approach to the question instead of stuffing it in my face.

My main league is the VHL

Yeah that checks out

Hey jeffie!

I am from the VHL and I GM in their minor league. Being a GM in the minor league means your job requires you to be a key factor in the league's retention rate. You take in new members each season and are their teacher/leader in the beginnings of a really fun league. If you aren't performing at your top potential, some members lose interest and retention rate drops. So I created this post to open some eyes from a different sim league GM's perspective, in the shoes of a first generation player. One of the GMs in the DSFL has already messaged me apologizing for a bad first experience, I respected that a lot and it shows me they're a great GM, we just had a rough start.

I hope you can understand I just wanted to open some eyes and help create conversation about this.

oh I thought it had something to do with math

First question, I have no complaints. Obviously yes I am enjoying the league, but why does every GM open with this? It's been very repetitive.
Second question, this is the dumbest question I have ever heard oh my god. Why is this a scouting question? Ask me when I'm on your team and actually want to switch for the team. If I'm not even on your team yet, why would I want to switch for y'all? I created my player the way I did because that's what I want, not what a potential team wants. This question actually frustrates me a lot, like just draft other positions don't bank on me to fill your holes.
Third question. This question confuses me. I have been part of this league for like a month and know basically nothing about it. I just don't think asking someone if they want to work for your team before drafting them is appealing.

lmao dude this is literally the information people need to know when scouting, if you dont like it than i dont know what to tell you
