9. If I could be commissioner for a day I would create a once a season sick pass to be presented in exchange for any TPE task (except for Ultimus) in a given week. Given that we are still in a global pandemic people are likely to become sick or have to take care of a loved who becomes sick. I think that a one time sick pass per season could be used if the user has to miss a specific TPE earning thread. While earning TPE should not be the first thing on someone's mind when they are sick, we shouldn't pile on by having their player fall behind even more during the season. I see this rule being used in two ways. First, on weekly point threads the user could be awarded the full three TPE if they are forced to use the sick pass. For weekly predictions, the user who elects to use their sick pass would earn the median of TPE earned for that weeks predictions.
I can see some people arguing that this would be abused by individuals who just want to avoid doing a certain weekly assignment. While this will absolutely happen, I don't think we should worry about an individual getting a free 3 TPE when we can help those who actually could use the TPE. The other argument would be does giving someone a free 3 TPE really do anything when they are sick? While I agree it is not that much of a benefit it still is better than doing nothing. Individuals in this league are likely here because they want to be a member of the community and enjoy watching their dot play. By helping them mitigate the loss of TPE we may keep a user more engaged and maybe stay in our league for a longer time.
14. The San Jose Sabercats had a rollercoaster of a year in which the team finished 8-8. The season was also characterized by consistently inconsistent performance for the team. At no point during the season did the team have a win streak of more than 2 games and they also never lost more than 2 games in a row. Despite the ups and downs the future looks bright in San Jose. The major bright spot for the team has to be the emergence of rookie wide receiver Higgins. The stats for this young wide receiver were absolutely spectacular. Not only did the young stud have over 1000 yard receiving this season, he also had double digit touchdowns. His touchdown total was 11 which allowed him to be tied for 3rd place this season in the ISFL. The Sabercats have a lot to be excited for if Higgins keeps progressing and becomes one of the top receivers in the league.
The other piece San Jose has to be excited about is quarterback Panda McKyle. Panda amassed over 5300 yards this season allowing him to set the all time season record for the cats surpassing legend Monty Jack. Panda had a simply amazing year throwing for over 30 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions. His 96.6 quarterback rating was also good for fourth in the league indicating that young Panda is already one of the top talents seen in the ISFL. If the young player can keep finding his weapons on the outside he has a real chance to go on to become a force in the league and maybe even a hall of famer. Overall, the Cats had a season that was encouraging for a team that was thought to be rebuilding. It seems the team has really hit on their most recent draft picks and the rebuild has progressed quickly. I expect big things out of the cats in the next few years as they try to recreate their successes from seasons 24 and 25.
