26. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?
The other position i was really interested in was OL. I knew i wouldn't get those fancy stats and life will be a bit boring when looking at the box score. But i am sometimes looking back and think to myself. Damn, i should have chosen OL. At that time there were only a few players at that position. And at the time right now where all ISFL teams are pretty much filled with active and earning players teams are looking for OL to not having to spend all their cap space on bots so they can fit everyone under the cap. Sure, the times will look different as soon as the S22 class is going to fade out and not everyone will recreate. By then there are lots of positions to be filled and the need for OL will likely decrease again.

13. Expansion Expansion Expansion! The league seems to love talking about it, but it has still not happened. Tell us why it should happen / should not happen soon?
The next problem the teams, especially the gms of those teams, have to cope with is the limited cap room. Right now the cap is at a level where teams simply cannot afford high contract players. They will wreck their cap and have problems to keep a healthy cap structure. This is already the case and is one reason why we see so many contracts with max duration at 4 Mill per season. That way the teams can save 1 Mill per player if he is earning above 1000 TPE.
Those are the main reasons that would support a case for expansion. There might be a few more reasons but in my eyes those two are the biggest ones. However we currently have a problem that simply forbids to expand the league further. The draft class of season 22 was the biggest in ISFL history until now. At the time of the draft there where a staggering 248 players eligible for the draft. That not only meant a huge stress for the whole league. The players had to be scouted, they had to fit in the ISFL rosters at some point so due to that expansion was the only way to guarantee a spot for every player created. In recent seasons since then however we saw a steady decline in new users. So if the trend continues and the draft classes stay around the same size of draftees, there will eventually be less players and users around. For example, the actual draft class has 57 eligible players. Also I bet that quite a number of users will decide not to recreate after they retired their S22 player. Currently we as a league have to maintain the status quo and not consider a how I think senseless idea of a league expansion.

17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. Graphic Option: Create a field / stadium design for your team.
But not only that – The first designs and drafts show a stadium that is build into the ocean near Kailua Beach near Honolulu. The entrance into the stadium is at land where a glass tunnel will lead the spectators underwater to the stadium. The stadium itself has an open roof that will be able to be shut and will resist heavy winds and waves. To make sure everybody can enjoy the unique experience of watching a football game under water the walls above the stands will be a steel and glass structure. The visitors will have the chance to admire the beautiful underwater landscape of the ocean. The owner said when reporters asked for a statement “The stadium will perfectly represent what we, the Honolulu Hahalua stand for – No, jokes aside. It’s going to be posh, it’s going to be exciting and it’s going to be incredibly expensive. It is a kick in the ass for the other owners of the league to finally get going and do something about their old dreary things they call a stadium.”
