Same, I'm not in love with the idea of >50% of the league entering the playoffs. I could maybe be persuaded if the 1 seeds earned a bye, though.

Zamir is a multi though - there may not have been multiple players, but in this case the purpose was to evade a ban, not have multiple players, but functionally it’s the same. The multi accounts are deleted, immediately retired because they are not run by a unique user. A user gets 1 player (with the exception of pending retirements), so the non multi can stay. Realistically, the original player of a multi should also be retired at the end of the season like that of a banned user. We shouldn’t be force retiring players on teams unless the player should have never existed at all. Zamir was banned, there never should have been another account with another player.

ISFL would remain unchanged edit: okay i should mention that i am dumb and kinda glazed over the ISFL proposals and didn't realize that's what you're referring to. disregard me please |
