Quote:4. Depending on how many 200+ TPE call ups an organization has a season, they are given additional GM bots to help alleviate the penalty of losing a bunch of their players. The proposed scale is this:
2-4 Call ups is 1 additional GM Bot
5-8 Call ups is another additional GM Bot
9+ Call ups is one last additional GM Bot
This would mean it is possible for a team to have the normal 2 GM Bots, plus an additional 3 for a total of 5 GM Bots maximum.
This rule change would go into effect in S29 if passed. With the declining numbers in the DSFL right now, the extra roster help in the form of these extra GM bots is necessary immediately to provide the best experience for rookies.
Wanted to touch on this one because I think it is easily the biggest one that goes against the spirit of the DSFL. Straight up, losing is part of the DSFL. Bad seasons are part of the DSFL. People have this idea that the Ultimini is a huge make or break goal, and thus they focus on the complete wrong thing. What's the point of winning if the majority of your team is bots? At the end of the day, it's your job as a DSFL GM to develop players and give them a fun experience, win or lose. To set them up for ISFL success. If people are buying into your system, believe me, they'll be having fun no matter what. By trying to fix a temporary issue that falls onto the recruitment team, this rule will end up harming the DSFL for seasons to come. That being said, I understand the intentions behind it, so I don't fault whoever suggested this in the slightest.
