Player Retirement

Retirement is a long way off, so if you’d like, you may skip this section.

 

Of course, regression is part of any athlete’s career. Some step down before it starts to show, but every athlete starts to show wear and tear at some point. In the ISFL, players start to lose TPE after the end of their 7th season. The first season that you are drafted by an ISFL team will count as your first season. (Your creation page will state your ISFL draft season (e.g. S30 is drafted into the ISFL at the start of Season 30). At the start of the 8th season and onward, you will have to deduct a percentage of your total earned TPE from your existing total.

After 7th season 20% TPE loss

After 8th season 25% TPE loss

After 9th season 30% TPE loss

After 10th season 40% TPE loss

After 11th season 50% TPE loss

After 12th season 75% TPE loss

After 13th season 75% TPE loss

After 14th season 75% TPE loss

After 15th season 75% TPE loss (final season)

While you need to remove TPE from your player with regression, it doesn’t necessarily have to come from just your attributes. As you improve and purchase both an increase in attributes and specific traits for your archetype, you will be able to decide where you remove the TPE from during regression. TPE spent to acquire traits will count towards regression calculations, and during regression you can “sell back” traits. However, if regression would cause you to reduce your attributes to below the minimum thresholds required to purchase a trait, you are not required to sell back the traits. This means that later career players may still have an advantage on their younger counterparts.

When you are finally ready to retire, you will make a post in the Retirement Section. Players that retire can continue to play for their team until the end of the season. Once you retire a player, you may immediately create a new player and start a new career. You retain any League Cash when you retire, but any unspent TPE from the previous character does not move to the new character.

Please note that you are only allowed one player in the DSFL at any time. If you retire at the DSFL level, you will need to wait until the next season to create. Please see the Retirement Section of the Rulebook (IV.E.4) for more.
