S27 Rules Summit Results

[iStegosauruz]

The S27 ISFL Rules Summit has recently come to a close.  GMs, Head Office members and Department Heads were encouraged to submit proposed changes to the rulebook and league procedure. With 21 voting members (14 teams, 5 HO members, 1 league owner, and 1 simmer), 15 votes were needed for a proposal to pass. 

Below is the full list of proposed rule changes and the final voting results for each.

1. Move the extension period open date from season open to trade deadline.

8 For - 13 Against
Rule Does NOT Pass

2. Contract TPE Changes


15 For - 6 Against
Rule Passes

3. VIII. C. 3. Agent costs will no longer be $10 million a season; instead agent costs will be an initial fee of $10 million for a license, followed by a payment of $3 million per season to renew their license until the agent creates a player in the league.

12 For - 9 Against
Rule Does NOT Pass

4. VIII. C. 6. Agents must be in the league for 2 full seasons prior to becoming eligible to become an agent. To meet this time requirement, individuals do not have to create a player but simply have to be an active user on the forums.

13 For - 8 Against
Rule Does NOT Pass

We also conducted a special rules summit addressing some issues impacting both the DSFL and ISFL. With 34 voting members (14 ISFL teams, 8 DSFL teams, 5 ISFL HO members, 4 DSFL HO members, 1 league owner, and 2 simmers), 24 votes were needed for a proposal to pass.

Once again, only 34 voting members cast a ballot this year. That brings the number of votes needed for the 70% threshold to 24.
