*NSFL/DSFL Proposal

[TomHanks]

Mori beat me to the punch here and said pretty much everything I wanted to, so I just want to echo what he said and add a little. I think this exacerbates the clique culture in the league as people don’t really have the opportunity to fully explore the rest of the league after their DSFL draft. For a lot of people, that means that they are stuck in because of something that happened after they were here for like a week. The NSFL draft process gives everyone the chance to be scouted and meet all the teams, and see more of what the league has to offer, rather than the initial bubble they got put in on day 1.

On the note of the NSFL draft being early in your time in the league, teams don’t really have a chance to get to know prospects before the DSFL draft. It’s always been a lot of guesswork and luck. The NSFL draft is a vastly more scouted out process where teams and players can get to know each other. Without that season, you’re building teams based on users you may not have even had a chance to talk to yet.

I also think this kills the DSFL GMing experience. I’m in the Tijuana war room, and I definitely share opinions but it is Jay and Bagel’s team. Nothing I can say or do will change that and I have complete faith in their ability to lead the team. And they’re damn good at it. If Tijuana became an affiliate team, it wouldn’t be that anymore. It would be someone else’s minor league team to do what they want with. We already have a huge queue for GM jobs, removing 16 of them in practice would be awful for a large part of this league.

As for DSFL HO, hell ya, all for it. We had it back in the day but it went away during some tough times in the league. May be time to bring it back but we do have the advisory board now doing some of that sort of work.

Also I believe with Manic stepping down, Bex is the current DSFL commissioner
