It's playoff time in the DSFL. This season came with quite a few surprises. Teams, that had expectations to make a deep playoff run, fell short of their goals. The most disappointing team this year has to be the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. I am sorry but the last season was not up to par for the defending Ultimini champion who finished last in their respective division.
But let's look at the teams who managed to clinch a playoff spot. The Luchadores are this years favourite to go all the way and win it all for the first time since season 17. On the way to the first seed they had to win the SFC, which was considered a bit stronger than the NFC in that year. And they did it with a bang. They went 10-4 and going 5-1 in their division. The Luchadores scored 330 points - the most of all teams in the DSFL. But not only their offense was outstanding, the defense also had a stellar performance this season, with the third best scoring defense of the league. Led by Slothlisberger and Waters at Quarterback Tijuana had the best aerial attack and with the most effective RB duo with R. Back and R. Gilbert who had unbelievable 21 TDs combined they are destined to go far in the title race.
The rest of the league is a bit behind them. As the team with the second best chances to win the title i have the Minnesota Grey Ducks listed. They finished the regular season with a record of 8-6. To be fair the record can be a bit missleading as their point differential is clearly the best in the whole league. So they seem prepared to deliver the Luchadores a real fight for the crown. If Jamar Lackson can continue his performance, he will be a important piece forthe offense. With 1410 rushing yards and 9 TDs he is a real force at the position of the RB. But the major reason for the successful season is the outstanding defense. The Grey Ducks allowed the least points on the season wich will be vital for their success in the playoffs. Leading them is D. Kennedy, an absolute beast this year. He racked up 12 sacks and 6 TFLs with 126 tackles.
The other title contenders have in my opinion little chances to come out victorious in the semifinals. The London Royals went to the playoffs with a losing record of 6-8 and have to hope for a little wonder to beat the Grey Ducks with their impressive defense. In the SFC the Norfolk Seawolves also have to deliver an oustanding performance to have a chance to beat the on both sides of the ball strong Luchadores.

Coming into the league I had a few troubles getting all together and understanding the mechanics of a forum based sim league. It was the first sim league I was attending, the premise was really exciting with creating a fictional player. Running throug a scouting and eventually be picked by a team was a totally new experience for me. Up until today i have not had any negative experience with users and players in the league. Everybody was really helpful and gave me tons of advice on how to get the max out of my player.
But the real hero from the start was sakrosankt who showed me the Ins and abouts of the league. He really got me going very well. After getting to know it all I am pleased how my carreer so far has been.
I was drafted by the Portland Pythons, where I immediately got the chance to contribute to the team and leave my mark on the field. On the course of the season however we failed to meet our expectations and failed to achieve a playoff spot. This was a bit of a let down, as I thought we had all it takes to be a title contender. On a personal note the season was really good, i didn't have too high expectations for myself, so im am absolutely staggered on how good it went on a individual point of view. 123 Tackles, 6 sacks and 10 PD was definitly better than expected. But even better than the game stats (these my be a bit deceiving) is, that i was able to reach the cap for the DSFL after 1 season. I may be not fully pleased with how i spent my TPE accumulated, as i had invested too much in other attributes besides speed (We all know how important speed is in the league). So i couldn't max my speed attribute (i only brought it up to 88).
But overall I am really happy about the way my first season in the league went down.
It is a bit hard for me to make suggestions on how to improve the experience for the users in the league as this is my first time being part of a sim league and i don't have any comparison. I can only point out, that my experience so far is overly positive. I had to get accustomed to using discord as the primary communication tool, but meanwhile it really turned out to be comfortable and is in my opinion essential to leaving a mark on the landscape of the NSFL.
