I realized we had this voting in the off season, and have already implemented a few of these changes - but have not announced to the general public
1 - Provide rookies who win a DSFL award at the end of the season with a $1.5 million bonus payment.
2 - A player is considered inactive if they do not exhibit meaningful activity on the forums within 14 days of their last meaningful post. Meaningful activity is defined by the following list (subject to other conditions and not entirely inclusive):
-Activity Check
-Weekly Training
-Equipment Purchases
-Media/Presser
-Update Page post
-General question post (ex: asking about where to find something or how to do something, etc.)
When a player is considered inactive, they may be dropped from all formations in the depth charts and may be freely cut from the roster. At this point the respective team has dropped all rights to the player and they are considered a free agent.
3 - An active player must start over an inactive player in depth charts based on their position on offense or defense. This is the proposed breakout of starting in a specific number of formations:
Offense (except QB): must start in a minimum of 4 formations
QB: must start in a minimum of 2 formations*
*new QB must see playing time and should be starting in formations that will see playing time
K/P: must start in a minimum of 2 formations on special teams:
-Punt
-FG
-Kickoff
Defense: must start in a minimum of 2 formations based on the team's respective defensive scheme
4-3: must start in 2 of the following formations: 4-3, Nickel, Dime
3-4: must start in 2 of the following formations: 3-4, 3-3-5, Dime
Special Teams and Misc. formations are not subject to this rule except as a K/P.
4 - Players can only play 4 seasons post NSFL draft season in the DSFL. Ex. a S5 NSFL-draft season player, who may have played S4 in the DSFL, cannot play in S9 in the DSFL. (Use the formula that players can play in S(x-1) to S(x+3), where x = their NSFL draft season).
5 - If an active player has played a number of seasons in the DSFL equal to the current limit (So as to be flexible given we have proposals on the table for that) and is sent down by his NSFL Team or is an NSFL FA he may petition for one extra year in the DSFL. This eligibility can only be claimed once per player, and only by an active player. DSFL Commissioners/HO reserve the right to veto a Fifth Year Senior petition (and will only grant in special circumstances).
6 - DSFL/ NSFL Coordination. Essentially rules that are passed in the NSFL are grandfathered in to DSFL if applicable. Rules like the equipment rules/ the RB listed as FB if playing WR and RB are also deemed to be in the DSFL rule book.
