S22 DSFL Weeks 3 and 4 Resim

[Thor]

The "no re-sim policy" was set in place with these two decisions in S17 week 1:

Essentially we found significant errors with the Austin Copperheads and chose to re-sim week 1. After this, we found errors with many teams. We could have done a re-sim of the re-sim, but that's just not really good optics, when we had people screaming in the league that they were pissed about the re-sim originally. We also could have done a full season reset, which in hindsight was likely the best option, but given the super negative public backlash for us granting a re-sim in the first place and the NSFL GMs breathing down our necks, plus the fact that no matter what we decided, it was not ideal, HO basically took the stance of just trying to put this unfortunate situation behind us and put measures in place to help going forward.

I dont know any other errors that were in besides the Lackson error, but clearly that was something bigger than I think we ever expected to happen. Was just a small mistake, it happens, but clearly a huge impact in the sim. I think that would be the big difference. Generally speaking the rule is there to stop re-sim calls for things like "hey my speed was 75 when it should be 80"

I appreciate your explanation of the history of the rule, this helps me understand where the policy has come from. With this situation arising, where is the line drawn on what is and isn't acceptable for a re-sim? Obviously this case was severe with the attribute being dropped so low, however what if it was hands and not speed? Or perhaps in the future someone's speed is accidentally reduced again by the same number, or by something slightly lower like 60 instead of what I'm assuming was in the 80s?

I'm unsure of how this hard line of not re-simming can continue to apply with such broad strokes with a different precedent having been set with little explanation as to the greater rationale behind the decision or circumstance.

I can understand wanting to move forward again and set the policy back to what it was - but it's clear that mistakes happen and will happen again in the future, what would classify them to be handled with the same discretion?

Thanks for taking the time to explain the position, hopefully this can be hashed out a bit more specifically to avoid similar situations in the future.

(I am also assuming the reason for the whole league having to re-sim is due to sim engine limitations and the inability of it to re-sim only the affected games, which is perfectly reasonable though I can understand some will be disappointed in a potential change in their results)
