In my time in the league so far, one of the things I have noticed is that the main ISFL league just kind of regards the DSFL as unimportant and in the way. I know this is slightly controversial since I know the entire point of the DSFL is just to develop players before they enter the ISFL, and other than that the DSFL doesn’t matter. But I think this is a bad way to think.
The DSFL in my eyes is slightly more important than the ISFL, mainly because that is where you really see if people are going to stay or leave the league. I think that with how the DSFL currently is, it makes it harder to retain some people as really there is nothing to do in the DSFL at all other than be on a team. There is no PTs, Predictions, Dotts, Casino, Fantasy, or really anything for the DSFL. It is basically there to just try to string people along and try to keep them around to the ISFL where all the best stuff is.
I also see a bunch of league vets and recreates have animosity in regard to the DSFL because it is basically just in the way of their careers, so most just want to get out as soon as possible. I think that if we want to try and improve player retention and help the ISFL grow, we need to do something with the DSFL and make it more of a smaller version of the ISFL instead of just a door step for people to wipe their feet on. Some things I think would be cool would be having an Alumni week for DSFL and have an Alumni Bowl similar to the Prospect Bowl. Also, maybe add a DSFL HoF so people actually have a goal to reach for in the DSFL. Also, maybe we can add fantasy, PTs, and Predictions for DSFL, but I know those affect TPE so I can understand if those aren’t good options.
I am probably biased since I am in the DSFL, but I truly believe that as the league grows and the more people neglect the DSFL, the more it can harm the league in the future. So maybe now is the time to start having these discussions about the future of the DSFL and how we all can improve it.
