No one else had anything new to bring up so the floor was closed for new business. The Commissioner had no rule changes to go through so he went on to do his annual Commissioner’s Report:

 

1 – Finances:

Advised that all payouts were completed the day after the end of the season. The Commissioner advised that this was possible due to the fact that he did not procrastinate this year and plans to continue this tradition going forward.

 

Advised as to why we don’t use a financial application such as LeagueSafe or some other version of that.

 

Advised that despite an extra week being added to the NFL season (which means extra costs for weekly high score) that the finances equalled $0 and as always, a financial statement was available by request. Also advised that there would be no changes to payouts or league fees going into the 2022 season. League fees remain at $70, Pick’em $5, no fees for trading and all payouts would remain the same.  

 

2 – Lottery Ball Results:

Advised that the lotter ball was done with the following parameters:

Dumber Luck (4 balls)

She-Devils (3 balls)

Atlantic Bucs (2 balls)

Inglorious Bastards (1 ball)

 

After the lottery was held, the only change was that the She-Devils moved up 1 spot and Dumber Luck moved down 1 spot. See draft order below to see how this impacted things.

 

3 – Draft Order

Here is the 2022 Draft Order (based on regular season record, who won and was runner up in the Championship & also includes the results of the lottery ball draw)

1 - She-Devils (based on lottery ball results)

2 - Dumber Luck (based on lottery ball results)

4 – New Divisions:

In this league divisions are broken down yearly. The Champion gets placed in 1 division along with teams finishing overall at spots 3, 5, 7 & 9 and the Runner up gets placed in the other division along with teams finishing overall at spots 4, 6, 8 & 10. The 2022 Divisions are:

The Commissioner will set up the new divisions once the 2022 version of the website is available.

 

4 – Miscellaneous:

 

a)     Commissioner advised that on the Darcman site, he has added all the new league records (2 were broken this season) and has also added a complete history of all the DFFL2 Champions (except for 2009 as no one remembers who won that year sadly).

b)     Advised that while the Commissioner did have some proposals of his own to make, he can’t remember/can’t find where he wrote them down so they will have to wait until next season

c)     Commissioner thanked everyone for their patience and dedication to this league especially through these odd covid times. Looks like covid is going to continue to be a thing for quite awhile so your patience is appreciated.

 

Thanks again to everyone involved in this league, it may be run decently by me, but it is ultimately the owners who make the league great. Thank you everyone!
