I passed on SEVERAL players for fear they were higher risk of being called up (Bender Rodriguez being the best example, as he was better than some starters on his own team), so I did take a BIT of joy in call-ups.

What *did* bother me was that the Yeti called up one O line and sent down another, yet the new send-down was open to all teams, even though one was clearly replacing the other. I would have awarded that player to the DSFL team.

The "first come, first serve" on send-downs really bothers me. I think all players coming to the DSFL post-draft should be waivers, and I think that giving teams that lose a player to call-ups higher priority would offset the pain a little.

I agree 100% something so easy could help teams tremendously.

the problem with the dsfl was that it was started too early. Great idea but it can't be implemented when all the teams have 2 players that aren't created by ballerstorm

Agreed my guy.

Why can't we do what SHL does? Player gets drafted to the DSFL team and if he were to get sent down by any team, he would go to that affiliate. Also, I think people that are drafted into the DSFL would be forced to play that season there.

I also like the college and college scholarships idea as well, just curious on this.

.

That is what we are doing here. It's the same as the SHL/SMJHL. Every player starts their career in the DSFL and plays their first season there. Then they enter the NSFL draft and if they get sent down they go to the DSFL team who has their rights.

It isn't first come first serve for send downs who don't already have a DSFL team. They are going through waivers just like all post draft rookies go through waivers.

I thought we got Jughead Jones on first come. Had he just been available for 24 hours with none of us knowing?

I posted him in the send down thread on Sep 11 2017, 08:11 PM and you guys claimed him on Sep 13 2017, 09:30 AM so it had already been 24 hours.
