But if you are active you are allowed to position switch, without needing the conent of an ISFL GM, right? Also, what would constitute someone as an acitve player vs. inactive? What if you were inactive and then became active to position switch?

What if you were inactive and then became active to position switch?Once you are drafted to an ISFL team you should consult with your ISFL GM before switching positions. It's one thing for the player to desire a position switch. It's entirely a different situation for a DSFL team to ask a player to switch positions in their last season of DSFL eligibility without consulting the ISFL franchise.
There are several logical paths people could take in terms of the interpretation of that rule.
To be clear, Appeals Team didn't uphold the interpretation on whether a GM can "approve" or "deny" a DSFL position switch. The simple fact of the matter is even if the rule interpretation is that ISFL GMs only need to be told so they can post it, that did not happen in this case. So, either way... the rules weren't followed, so the same outcome is reached which is why HO's decision is upheld.
Post edited for clarity to reflect that Appeals Team did not make a determination as the interpretation of the rule.
