Hello everyone,
The S22 DSFL Rules Summit has recently come to a close. GMs and Head Office members were encouraged to submit proposed changes to the rulebook, and those same individuals then voted on the proposed changes. With 13 eligible voters (one representative from each DSFL team and five Head Office members), a proposal needed 10 "yes" votes in order to pass.
Below is the full list of proposed rule changes and the final voting results for each.1. Add an MVP for the playoffs.
8-5
2. Punish GM chat leaks for things that have been explicitly asked to not be shared outside of the server.
"Example: Portland mockup logo."
5-8
3. Reintroduce the limit on DSFL eligibility, meaning that players can only spend a maximum of three (3) seasons playing in the DSFL after the time of their NSFL draft. In addition, all non-QB players who are inactive (by the official definition) at the time of their Ultimini will lose their DSFL eligibility for the upcoming season, and may not be permitted to be on their teams' depth charts. Should the user return to activity, they regain their DSFL eligible status and may be added back to the depth chart.
10-3
4. Move the deadline for the free DSFL position changes back until the final, end of season update.
10-3
5. Give each position their own positional award.
"So separate DBotY into safety and CB, and DLine into DE and DT. Whichever position a player played more time at for the season is the one that they will be nominated for. The awards committee will do the research to figure that stuff out."
8-5
6. Fix the Pro Bowl by implementing the following changes:
- Remove FLEX voting (have 3 RBs and 4 WRs; the next highest vote getter to not make the main roster will be inserted as OFLEX). Remove DFLEX altogether.
- Make the voting 3 CBs and 3 S.
- Players will be voted based on their position in the TPE tracker.
- OL will be scaled as per the number of active OL in each conference, with no more than 5 OL represented and no fewer than 1 OL per conference if said conference has an active OL user. The scaling should be about 50% (if there are 3 OL then there are 2 spots, if there are 6 OL then there are 3 spots, etc).
- Voting will be done on Google Forms, which will auto-populate with players via the TPE tracker (voters will then select x number of players per position), which will make vote tallying easier.
7. Tampering rules do not apply to users that are IA below 200 TPE.
"I know DSFL GMs love having IA players, but it is WAY better for the league that these kinds of players come back and create."
2-11
8. Players that are determined to be inactive (according to the NSFL rulebook) by the end of the regular season cannot be nominated for awards or voted for Pro Bowl, regardless of stats, unless there are not enough active players at a position to fill nominations.
13-0
9. Allow tampering of IA players above 200 TPE.
1-12
10. Make "Counting Bot" a permanent member of DSFL GM chat.
7-6
