Sucess in the ISFL is something that I've worked to understand and frame for myself over the many many seasons in the league. I think the easiest definition would be winning an Ultimus or an Ultimini. But that's only really achievable for two teams each season. You could define success by playoff appearance, but still, are you going to say that the rest of the league is completely removed for this "success" tier? There's the possibility of having it be success as a winning record. That's about half of the league this past season. Of course, you also have the option of leaning on more personal successes, awards or stats of your individual player. Heck, you can even classify success in terms of personal earning if you take pride in max earning. All of these framings of success are viable. But I can't say that they work all the time in trying to feel successful. Ultimately, I define success very broadly. A season is successful if it brought you one moment that you will take forward with you. If you have something that's memorable, it's been a win. Sometimes, that's an amazing last-second win that had you jumping out of your seat. Sometimes it's the most ridiculous surrender punt you've ever seen. Sometimes it's a great statline, and sometimes it's just enjoying your team or your locker room. Really success is making memories.
