Hello ISFL!
Now that our off-season is drawing to a close, we get to look ahead to our 25th Season as a league. This is a huge milestone, and I hope this can be a time to reflect on how far we have come.
Happy S25!
WOOOOOT! We made it! We’re excited to be reaching our 25th season as a league. We’ve got our colour rush games planned to celebrate, and there might be a few other projects and celebrations in the works!
With the new season, it’s time for our new SJS Championship banner! Congratulations to @rapideagle on being named the winner of the banner contest, and @Number 82 and @OrbitingDeath who came in second and third respectively.
ISFL HO Interns Hired
Thank you once again for everyone who applied for the HO intern program! It’s exciting to see so many promising candidates. Since we cannot hire you all at once, we’ve made a determination to bring aboard the following two!
@’Jpach’ has done phenomenal work across the league in his capacity as an off-season events worker, a sim assistant, a budget team worker, a rookie mentor and as DSFL Sim Head, to name just a few offices he’s held. He’s focused on making this league better, as seen through his work on the Prospect Bowl, and in last season’s charity event. We’re excited to bring him aboard as an intern this season so he can continue to do good in a wider capacity.
@’r0tzbua’ has made a splash in the league in his first season here, contributing beautiful logos for teams rebranding. He’s been brought on to use those talents as a Stream GFX worker, and has already been a blessing there. We’re proud to offer him an internship this season so he can utilize those and many other talents for the betterment of the league!
We’re excited to see what these two can do this season!
Rule Summit Results!
Our annual rule summit has been held! You will be able to read full results in an upcoming announcement.
Some notable results are:
These alongside the others that have passed will be added to the rulebook, alongside some documentation on policy procedures from the Head Office and the Appeals teams! You can look for those changes in the next few days.
Around the League
We've got a lot of new faces in terms of our league jobs! Congratulations to our new RMs, media graders and updaters! Thank you for your willingness to give back to the league in this way!
We’d like to give a huge shout out to everyone who made our off-season events possible! To all of our awards committee, our Events GFX makers, our prospect bowl GMs, and our off-season streamer and simmer, Jpach. Thank you so much for all you do!
TL;DR
-S25 good.
- New interns! Jpach will now push HO buttons, and R0tzbua will make HO more aesthetically pleasing.
- Rule Summit results sneak peek, full thing soon!
Best,
ISFL Commissioner

Rule Summit Results!
Our annual rule summit has been held! You will be able to read full results in an upcoming announcement.
Some notable results are:
- Amend Rule V.B.9 to read, "Inactive players with 57 TPE or less are not eligible for the ISFL draft. Players fitting this criteria will instead enter free agency upon the conclusion of the ISFL draft stream for their regression class". This could potentially be implemented immediately, at HO's discretion.
- Implement a GM HOF. This would follow the same rules/set up as User HOF, where committee nominates and they are on for 3 seasons, 2/3 vote needed to stay
- 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 opening of the Free Agent Signing period following the Ultimus.
- GMs and HO will both receive UW Passes
These alongside the others that have passed will be added to the rulebook, alongside some documentation on policy procedures from the Head Office and the Appeals teams! You can look for those changes in the next few days.
