S9 Rules Announcements + Revamped NSFL Rulebook

[AzhekAhriman]

Hello Everyone,

Back again with the passed rules for this year as well as a much needed facelift for our trusty old rulebook. This year two rules proposals satisfied the 2/3 majority voting requirements to be adopted into the NSFL Rulebook and are present in the PDF below with green highlights for reference. The rules are as follows.

1. Institute a program for Open Bidding for Inactive FAs during the Offseason: In GM Section on forums, bidding team creates post for IA FA they are bidding on. If another team wants the same player, they add a reply to that post with the higher bid. If 24 hours pass with no additional bids, then the player is awarded to the team with the highest bid. At the end of that contract, the team has the option to re-sign the player for no less than they won him for in bidding last season, or let the player enter free agency. (Note that the 24 hour right of first refusal on IA FAs still exists, this simply legislates what happens if that right is waived)

2. Effective Immediately, the language surrounding the initial free training is clarified to state that the program is only available to new users. This effectively means that recreates are not eligible for the first free training bonus.

I like the bidding for inactives, they deserve money too in case the return

Appreciate the work, clearing out the rulebook goes a long way.

Implementing bidding process (just like in other leagues, for example PBE) is a good call and makes IAs management more than waiting for specific hour and should help with any controversies surrounding that.

Few other questions:
The max (15) experience was in place for a long time for WR and TE?

Also new wording specifies just CBs as beneficiaries of 150 TPE exp bonus, safeties are not included?

1. 15 EXP for WR/TE has been around since last season, it was added as a balance patch from the simmer and not as a voted rule.

2. Yup, only CBs get the EXP buff at the moment on defense, not safeties. You also reminded me I need to update the starting EXP for CBs from 3 to 5, so thanks for this question

Thanks for the answers and happy about CBs being more experienced, hopefully it was reflected in the sim, since I'm still only with 1 INT in 27 games, haha.

C'mon show the second one too where I had just half of that and I'm sure I'll be able to get one with none INTs given randomness of the position

These are good changes, good work head office!
