Hey there @shrub02. I would love to get you approved, but first I'll need you to change your height and weight to match the Vertical Threat TE archetype.

Height (ft): 6'4

Weight (lbs): 250

Once you've that a member of the rookie mentor team will approve you soon. In the meantime be sure to join our Rookie Discord if you haven't.

Thanks, done.

@shrub02 Everything looks good so you are approved, welcome to the ISFL! We invite you to join our Rookie Discord, if you haven't already. You have joined at an exciting time in the ISFL - we are changing and updating our Sim to Draft Day Sports Pro Football 21 and have updated all of our archetypes to match. Check out more information at our Sim Transfer Central here.

Because you joined after the end of the regular season, you will be entered into the DSFL Draft which will be held at 8:00 PM EST on January 20. We will also be having an extended Prospect Bowl this season starting on Tuesday, January 12th at 8:00PM EST and ending the day before the DSFL Draft Presentation! You will be able to watch the draft presentation and the Prospect Bowl on our YouTube channel.

The next thing you should do - if you haven't already - is create an update page in this forum. You may use this video provided by one of our rookie mentors to help you through this process if you would like. Once you do that, there are a few things you can do to get started on your player:

1. You can find this week's activity check in this forum. You can post there each week for 2 free TPE.

2. Each new member gets one free training to start off with, worth 5 TPE (recreates are not eligible for this free training). After that, as an unassigned player you can pay for weekly trainings in this thread, and when you are picked up by a team you can post your payments in the team thread found in this forum.

3. You can find the current point tasks in this forum. Most of these will be predictions or short written (or graphic!) responses to a prompt. NOTE: You can only claim TPE for tasks started AND completed AFTER your player has been created. If this is your first player, you can also complete the Rookie Point Task for a nice 12 TPE, $3,000,000 boost to start you off on the right foot.

4. A few days after the draft, you can check this forum to find this season's DSFL training camp thread, which is worth 10 TPE.

5. We encourage you to create a wiki article about your player. Don't be afraid to add background information such as your player's personal history. Have fun with it! You can do that here, and you'll be awarded 10 TPE.

6. Pick a "likeness" or "render" - a person that you want your player to look like. You can post your choice in the given format here.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any member of the rookie mentor team (124715, FleshBagSoup, Frazzle14, GuitarMaster116, Kotasa, Memento Mori, SchwarzNarr, Tesla, Thor, and yonggarius), or to your team’s GMs (once you have a team). All of these players are easily accessible via our rookie discord linked above.
