Major DSFL Announcements

[Bzerkap]

It's not really an affiliate league though. It's just that they're linked. And IDK, I was picturing a setup like the NFL: pro teams and "developmental" (college) teams are separate. I feel like that makes things easier, in keeping a team together. Although I guess if GMs are willing to send players right back down, then it becomes similar.

Well it sort of is like college then, but basketball rules. 1-year 'out of high school' is all that's needed to head to the NSFL.

So every player will spend 1 season in the DSFL but likely longer as the league grows. I imagine myself drafting another WR in S5 draft to eventually take over for Garden/Cook but those guys aren't retiring for a while so the WR I draft will probably stay in the DSFL for a few seasons before there's a spot for him.

I imagine this will become very common for the popular positions like QB, WR, RB, LB, S. However, the unpopular positions like OL, DT, will only play one season in the DSFL before they are called up. Just the way those positions are set up with the amount of talent in each.

I think the DSFL will work well, but it all depends on how popular the site gets. The only unfortunate thing is the size of a starting football roster limiting it. You need 23 (offense, defense, 1 K/P) to field a squad and in hockey you only really need 16-19, so not far off but enough to make it more of an issue especially as you get more teams.
