S21 DSFL Rule Summit Results

[manicmav36]

With 12 members eligible to vote, 9 votes are needed for a rule to pass.

1) Any player who creates after the first pick of the DSFL offline draft is immediately sent to waivers and cannot be drafted to the DSFL.


2) If a Team Wins The Ultimus/Ultimini The Teams GM/Co-GM Also get a Trophy on their Forum Profile for the Win.

Reason being that the GM/Co-GM do as much work to help the team win as the players and that should be shown.


3) Players that are determined to be inactive (According to the NSFL Rulebook definition) by the end of the regular season cannot be nominated for awards, regardless of stats, unless there is not enough active players at a position to fill nominations.


4) Limit strat changes to once a week (Sunday nights, for example). Depth chart changes will still be allowed an unlimited amount, and teams are allowed to change strats as much as they want for the playoffs.

This is meant solely as a time/stress saver for GMs. Ask any GM that has tested for more than a couple seasons and most (if not all) will admit they hate it. It's time they would far rather spend doing something else, but most continue to do it because the know others are as well and don't want to feel like they're putting their team at a disadvantage. Furthermore, the benefits testing for each in-game week provides are usually minimal, as referenced by Austin this season who, despite only changing their strats twice over the entire season, still won the Ultimus.
