S36 Rule Summit Results

[DarknessRising]

Hello once again for the annual reading of the rule proposal results! This time, its S35.

This season, we only had a universal rules summit as no ISFL or DSFL specific rules were proposed. So here were the results.



UNIVERSAL BALLOT

The Universal ballot consisted of 3 rule proposals. The voting party consisted of 34 people (7 ISFL HO, 4 DSFL HO, 14 ISFL GM, 8 DSFL GM and 1 owner). @TomHanksfailed to vote and will be fined $4,000,000, double the standard non-voting fine as he is HO. In order for a rule to pass, it required 24 votes.

Rule Proposal 1 - Rewrite sec IV.D.2 of the rulebook regarding position switches from this: "Rookies may choose to switch positions or archetypes free of charge from the point of creation up to the last update of their first season after the DSFL draft. This does not count as their one career position switch. They may reallocate 100% of their TPE in this switch with no penalty."

This does not count as their one career position switch. They may reallocate 100% of their TPE in this switch with no penalty. This free rookie switch may take place at any point in the season"
34 for - 0 against
Rule passes

Rule Proposal 2 - Add 10 Hours Draft Timer for draft picks. If a team does not pick in the allot time then they will be skipped and the team after that may pick. Teams can make up their pick at any time after that. Before the draft the timer can be extended or decreased based on approval from HO
9 for - 25 against
Rule does not pass

Rule Proposal 3 - Awards System overhaul (CLICK HERE TO READ FULL CHANGES)
29 for - 5 against
Rules passes

---

Rule proposals 1 and 3 have passed, and HO has made the decision to have both rules implemented immediately rather than wait to next season. This is because Rule Proposal 1 is a small tweak with immediate benefit that is clarifying what should be happening already. Rule Proposal 3, whilst a massive change, we decide its best to have the system up and running as early as possible to help give it time to hire, complete its work and tweak certain things that may pop up that were unpredicted. We hope the league understands the common sense behind this decision.

As always, I leave you with a reminder that you can always talk to your GMs or HO's if you have a rule proposal, or leave comments or messages in suggestion box on the discord or forum, feedback and ideas are invaluable to improving the league. 

Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening/night.

Yuh... Pretty sure people only saw awards system reform and didn't read the details.

Yes, it’s a great proposal and I actually like most aspects other than removing legit 80% of awards and a good measurement for HoF and replacing it with all pro… Like I like seeing AllPro every offseason but it should not be a full replacement for awards

Not to mention it makes Skill positions that much more attractive and some of the lesser positions are like "whelp, I will probably never win something if I played that, what's the point."

Positional awards being covered by all-pro has frost said, but that also means that All-Pro are going to become more than just a fun-side project and intergrated fully into awards. May not agree with the replacement, but the effect on HoF should be minimal, kept to the period where people are gonna have a mixture of both and deciding that value.
