2021 Owner’s meeting ballot preview

This article is a rough draft of our upcoming Owner’s Meeting Ballot. The goal is to review all the current proposals ahead of time so that we can have a round of discussion/debate to allow for improvements and additional proposal ideas before we officially vote.

These ideas have come from various members of the league during the 2020 season. This article will be updated with suggestions and tweaks as they come in.

MARQUEE MATCHUPS / SCHEDULE RELEASE 2020

Marquee Matchups

It’s that time again…

In case you are new here or haven’t been paying attention for a few years, I’ll introduce you to how the series works.  I will select the matchups that catch my eye each week.  Each matchup will fit into one of the ten marquee categories in the list below (more to come?).  Also, new this year, we have two new categories. The first is called Clash of Champions which is just what it sounds like, and the second is called Playoff Preview which will look at a potential matchup that has a high probability of being run back for the playoffs.

The rules are simple. There can be more than one matchup per category each week (but I will do my best to diversify), and not every category will be represented. Some weeks may not have a single marquee matchup, so it’s up to you to stir some shit up.  Make some H2H wagers, talk some shit, etc…

If called upon, it is your job to create a piece of content for your opponent. The content must be in audio, video format with a short paragraph directed towards your opponent. The content does not have to be particularly good, so do not feel like you have to make Lord of the Rings 10 or anything. The bar for worst marquee matchup content has been set so low by Andy that no one will ever come close to beating it.

Have fun with it, cause after all that is what we are here for anyway right?

Rivalry Matchup (A heated, inner-divisional rivalry)Déjà vu (Either a key SB or playoff replay from a day gone by)
Grudge Match (Two GMs that have a general disdain for one another)“Finish Him” (The match has serious playoff implications)
Wager Match (There is a side bet riding on the match to some degree)BUMFIGHTS (The title pretty much says it all)
Win Drought (one GM has dominated the matchups historically)Challenger Approaches(Anyone can challenge anyone)
Clash of Champions (A H2H match with two of the IFL's previous Champions)Playoff Preview (Two teams that could very likely see one another again...)

IFL Force MajeurE

2020 has taught us that some things are entirely out of our control. We wanted to get out in front of the mess that the 2020 NFL/IFL season could very well turn into, before anyone is actually affected negatively one way or the other and our voter pool is tainted. The two rule sets we voted on provide some precedence for future events as well as our current one. Future global events could warrant further voting to expand on these rules.

These rule sets will be able to be called upon temporarily anytime the NFL season is affected by pandemic or other similar catastrophe that threatens the normalcy of the season we are accustomed to. Again, future global events could warrant further voting to expand on these rules.

New CBA – what does it mean for us?
