- One (1) time per career a player may choose to switch positions. If a player chooses to switch to a new position they must have their GM post in the NSFL GM area that the player is officially changing positions.
This with regard to the Leafer issue - since he didn't really CHOOSE to switch, does it still count as his one switch, and he can never go back to QB?
Tampering:
A. What is Tampering?
1. Tampering is defined as a player or GM approaching a player under contract with another team or who's rights are owned by another team outside of the public forums, with the purpose of persuading them to join your team, request a trade, or hold out on contract negotiations.
So according to this rule - you can tamper openly with someone if it's done on the site, as it wouldn't be outside of the public forums. I also feel it would be incredibly hard to moderate things like PMs on a different site, or facebook/social media if anyone has anyone on there. Great rule to have, just hard to moderate.
1. Will be handled on a case-by-case basis, but may include a fine, loss of draft picks, or loss of GM position.
Another case by case thing that I'm not super fond of, rather than set limitations, but fair.
3. A suspended player may not earn any TPE.
If he earned TPE prior to the suspension, but had not yet been awarded it or had not yet claimed it, can he use it when he returns from suspension, since it was not earned while suspended?
I'll leave the rest of the issues with tampering as they're addressed earlier in the thread, but I agree with Bovo and AzhekAhriman's points on that.
A. Playoff Rules & Format
1. The top 4 teams from the regular season make the playoffs.
2. First round #1 west seed vs #2 west seed and #1 east seed vs #2 east seed
The top 4 teams may or may not be the 1 and 2 seeds in each conference - if the 1 and 2 seeds in each conference get in, then perhaps the first point should be worded as "The top 2 teams in each conference from the regular season make the playoffs" rather than appearing as though we allow crossover. (Although crossover would be an interesting suggestion, in the instance in which one conference is just poor)
1. Any user who abuses moderation powers in order to alter (without permission or valid reasoning) another users post, topic, or reply will be given the follow punishments:
You know my issues with this. Valid reasoning doesn't say anything.
- No multis. If caught all multi accounts will be deleted and their players retired. The original account will also be subject to discipline.
How is it determined which account is the original account?
- Players may make bets with their NSFL money, but they must post bets publicly in the bank before it takes place. The league reserves the right to deny any bet they see as an attempt to circumvent any rules.
Clarification on how the bets work? Must both sides of a bet be attempting to win said bet, or is it feasible that a person could enter into a bet intending to lose, and it's fine as long as it doesn't circumvent rules? Again it would be incredibly hard to moderate - anyone who plays fantasy football knows that people do things thinking it benefits them and it can look on the surface like an obvious giveaway.
5) All Job heads must produce reports regarding progress/goals at the beginning of the season and at its end.
What does this mean?
6) New GMs must retain current brand for at least one *full* season before considering a rebrand (while adhering to the 7 year no relocation rule)
What constitutes "considering" a rebrand?
12) NSFL teams can sign and bring up any NSFL free agent that is on a DSFL roster (assuming they have been drafted).
Is there a time frame applicable for this rule? Before the season, before the trade deadline, before the playoffs, at any time? I could see this crippling a DSFL team at the wrong moment.
@bovovovo - and anything that has a precedent, it should probably get into the rulebook
