All DSFL specific rule proposals for this year's summit can be found below. Ballot is currently open and will close on Tuesday, May 18th at 11:59am (noon) EST. As with the ISFL and universal proposals, if you have any thoughts, feelings, or concerns with any of the please reach out to your GM or another voting representative. In addition, if you would like to write media about any of these proposals, feel free.
Voting parties for the DSFL ballot are as follows:
DSFL GMs: @Crodyman, @frazzle14, @GuitarMaster116, @Hordle, @IsaStarcrossed, @katarn22, @Kotasa, @NicholasTheGreat, @r0tzbua, @RussDrivesTheBus, @slate, @TMosura, @UberBJ, @WhatAmUs, @zeagle1 & @ZootTX
DSFL HO: @Faded, @nunccoepi & @TomHanks
League Commissioner: @bex
League Owner: @manicmav36
DSFL Simmer: @124715
1. Players added to teams via waivers have their contract pay for their rookie season reduced by $1M for every Activity Check thread that has CLOSED by the time that they are claimed off of waivers, counting since DSFL Week 1 games are played in each season.
2. Add a subsection to the current rule VIII.C.1.d.i ("DSFL Specific Sim Rules - Offensive players") that reads:
"If an offensive player does not start in the Spread/Shotgun formation, they must start in both the Two TE and Shotgun 4 WR formations as long as all other rules are able to be satisfied."
3. Delete these sections of the rulebook that are no longer relevant and are not enforced:
-VIII.D.6.a: "If a DSFL player becomes inactive during the off-season free agency period, the player's original team has 24 hours to sign him to an inactive contract. If they decide not to sign him, that player becomes an Inactive Free Agent."
-VIII.D.7: "If a player on a DSFL team is not assigned a depth chart spot at all for an entire season, the team must release that player to free agency."
4. Depending on how many 200+ TPE call ups an organization has a season, they are given additional GM bots to help alleviate the penalty of losing a bunch of their players. The proposed scale is this:
2-4 Call ups is 1 additional GM Bot
5-8 Call ups is another additional GM Bot
9+ Call ups is one last additional GM Bot
This would mean it is possible for a team to have the normal 2 GM Bots, plus an additional 3 for a total of 5 GM Bots maximum.
This rule change would go into effect in S29 if passed. With the declining numbers in the DSFL right now, the extra roster help in the form of these extra GM bots is necessary immediately to provide the best experience for rookies.
5. DSFL Awards Eligibility:
For a player to be nominated for awards in the DSFL, that player's user must have completed a minimum of 3 activity checks during that season for the player in question.
For a player to be nominated for the pro bowl, that player must be active at the time of pro bowl ballot creation, unless there are not enough active players to fill the ballot.
