MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
And
we have now reached the end of our 20th season with the prop
voting complete. Thanks to
all for another great season, special thanks to the few who have been
here from the start, who would have thought we’d still be going after
all this time? I have updated the constitution with the changes from the
voting and that is the end of this season.
Now we wait on some new ratings from Action PC and we’ll meet
again in April when I can start working on the new set of files for next
season. You can talk all you
want about trades now but nothing is official until after announce that
trading is open after the ratings are available to everyone.
Thanks guys, see you all soon!
Also
would like to announce our three new owners to the league as they
prepare to join us and take over their teams heading into the offseason.
John Carrol - NY Jets - jrc51580@mail.com
Steve Casper - Philadelphia - casp1383@yahoo.com
Walt Sienzant - Green Bay - metagiant@aol.com
Rob Brewster - Associate - saga038more@outlook.com
I
can’t stress enough that you need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game
export when the game is complete.
Send your write up later on, that’s fine, but I MUST have the
game export as soon as the game ends or I’ll have to sim the game to
keep things moving along if it is missing at the deadline.
***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 10/08/16
***
Don’t
forget, if you lose a player for 2 or more games, you can ask for an
injury replacement, but it must be done the same week as the injury, so
don’t wait, get those requests in right away and take advantage,
especially the teams who are already challenged for the amount of games
they have to work with.
Also, be sure you give me enough names as the more injuries the more
likely someone else already grabbed the guy you want.
Reminder that you MUST send a boxscore and writeup to the league after
each game. The home team is
responsible for this, but either team can do it, as long as it does get
done. Also, you MUST send me
the game export immediately after the game is complete.
It takes about 30 seconds, so I shouldn’t have to chase you down
for that file after a game, just get it in right away so I don’t have to
guess whether a game has happened or not.

II.
News from Around the League
The
prop voting is complete, please see the results below and the
constitution has been updated to reflect these changes.
Proposition #1
Remove 3-man inactive list,
replace it with a practice squad of up to 5 players.
1.
Any player who appeared in 5 or less NFL games the previous season is
eligible for the practice squad, regardless of durability rating.
2. Rated players on a team’s practice squad MUST
be promoted to the active roster to cover for injuries BEFORE free
agents are added. Practice squad players can be added to the active
roster to cover for any injury of more than 1 game and any one game
injury. In the event that the injured player is unexpectedly ready for
the game, the practice squad replacement must be set to “N/A” and cannot
be used in that game.
3. Players must be promoted
from the practice squad to replace a specific injured player that plays
the same position. In the event that the injured player plays multiple
positions, the practice squad player need only play one of the same
positions as the injured player (ie a DB who is injured can be replaced
by a S or CB from the practice squad; a DE/LB who is injured can be
replaced by any DE or OLB).
4. Unrated players
may be placed on the practice squad but cannot be made active.
5.
If a team cannot cover for injuries with players on their practice squad
due to positional requirements, they can add from the FA pool (same
rules as before).
YES:
6
NO:
19
ABSTAIN: 3
Prop 1 did not gain the necessary votes to pass.
Proposition #2
Increase roster to 53 men,
remove Reserve List and Injury replacements - nothing else is changed by
this except the roster limit (ie does not affect the draft rules
currently in place).
YES:
15
NO:
12
ABSTAIN: 1
Prop 2 had a bit more support but fell about 3
votes short of passing.
Proposition #3
Remove the preseason waiver
draft - many have said they feel this is not accomplishing anything and
just takes up extra time so we can vote to remove it.
YES:
23
NO:
3
ABSTAIN: 2
Prop #3 has passed, all players cut before the
season go into the draft pool for next season and will be available as
injury replacements.
Proposition #4
Draft Time Changes - reduce
draft time from 30 minutes per pick to 15 minutes per pick with each day
running from 11 am eastern until 6 pm eastern to help make picks easier
for those on the west coast and in Europe.
YES:
24
NO:
4
ABSTAIN: 0
Prop #4 passes and will be used in the draft going
forward.
Proposition #5
Amendment - Free Agency
At a point immediately prior to the beginning of the season, once
the rosters for the upcoming season are set for all teams, free agents
will be determined by the New York State lottery drawing for a
particular day that week (specified in advance) from this site:
http://nylottery.ny.gov/wps/po rtal/Home/Lottery/Home/YOUR+LO
TTERY/Winning+Numbers
All 52 (or 53) players on every team will
be listed in alphabetical order by last name, then first name per team,
including players on the reserve list. If two players are on the same
team with the same first and last names (like Smith, Steve), the
youngest will be listed first.
Each team will have no more than
three free agents per season (they could have fewer, see exceptions
below).
The lottery 1st, 3rd, and 5th numbers (in ascending
order) will be used to determine who are to be each team's three free
agents AFTER THE UPCOMING SEASON.
By having the free agents for
next season determined in advance of the upcoming season, this allows
teams to trade their upcoming free agents during the year if they choose
(they remain free agents for the upcoming season even after being
traded, so the acquiring team will lose them after the season in any
case).
Players who are free agents re-enter the league as part of
the ISFL draft process (they go into the standard league draft typically
held in May).
Exceptions to Free Agency:
(a) Quarterbacks who
were drafted in the prior six drafts in the first eight rounds cannot be
free agents (it's assumed all these players are signed, in effect, to
six year contracts)
(b) Non-QBs who were drafted in the prior
four drafts in the first EIGHT rounds cannot be free agents (it's
assumed all these players are signed, in effect, to four-year
contracts).
(c) QBs drafted in the supplemental draft (rounds
nine or later) cannot be free agents in their first three seasons after
being drafted (it's assumed they are signed to three year contracts).
(d) Non-QBs drafted in the supplemental draft (rounds nine or
later) cannot be free agents in their first two seasons after being
drafted (it's assumed they are signed to two year contracts).
(e)
QBs acquired in trade in the past four years (three years for non-QBs)
cannot be free agents.
(f) If any of the first, third, or fifth
number in the lottery exceeds the maximum number of players allowed per
team (if the fifth number is 57, for example, in a 52-player max per
team league), then that number will be ignored, and teams will lose only
two players that year, at most, subject to the exceptions above. (That
is, some teams could lose fewer than two, including none).
YES:
5
NO:
20
ABSTAIN: 3
Prop #5 did not gain the votes needed to pass.
