UFL End of Season Review - 8 Teams/8 Days - Call For Writers

Hello r/UnitedFootballLeague! I am happy to be running the first 8 Teams/8 Days Write-Ups for the inaugural UFL season. On behalf of the mod team, we would like to make this an annual offseason event similar to how r/nfl does their end of season write-ups for their 32 Teams/32 Days event. In short, it's fan write-ups for how each UFL team's year turned out and where the writers see that team going in the future.

For those unfamiliar with how r/nfl runs their annual fan write-ups event, you can check this example to get an idea of what this entails. In short, a detailed main body post for people just looking for a short read, and an in-depth post in the comments for fans that are intrigued. Keeping in mind that some of the information in the NFL version won't be applicable to the UFL.

• Generally speaking we prioritize writers that were either active users in this sub or the individual team subs, but we're open to anyone that watched the games this season to throw their hat into the ring.

• If you want to sign up to write for your team, this is the thread to do so. I highly recommend accepting help in the event you get a writing spot. I highly recommend offering help in the event that you didn’t get a spot but wanted one. You can also reach out to me for help locating statistics, roster lists, or any other information you need to complete your write-up.

• This is a lot of work. If you don’t think you can do a high quality job, don’t volunteer or wait and volunteer to assist the primary writer.

• Some people are not going to like what you write. If you can’t take criticism, don’t sign up.

• If you sign up and something comes up where you can no longer do the write up, please let me know as soon as possible. Shit happens. Don’t let this get in the way of your real life. However, if you tell me the night before your post is supposed to be up, I’ll probably be a bit annoyed. At the very least, just give me a chance to find someone to replace you.

• No antagonistic language towards other teams. Do your best to write this as closely to a journalistic viewpoint as you can muster. While journalists will often show excitement for the team they cover, they'll rarely shout undeserved criticism towards opponents.

Title should be formatted "8 Teams/8 Days: Team Name"

As I said earlier, the post will primarily consist of the same information.

• 2023 Offseason (Free Agency, XFL & USFL Player Draft)

• Season review (week by week)

• High points and low points

• Team statistics

• Roster review

• Coaching staff review

• Expected player movement in the 2024 offseason

• Team needs (i.e. what they should do in free agency and the draft, and who you want to see return for next season)

• Anything else related to your team's season

You will have a lot of leniency with your post. You can add whatever you want to it as long as it relates to your team’s 2024 season. I would like you to create a hub link at the top of your main post so users can easily navigate back to the main hub (this post.)

Alternatively, if you'd prefer for me to post your write-up for you and handle all the formatting that's fine too. You're welcome to send your write up to me in a google doc or pdf form and I'll handle all the formatting and including relevant links as necessary. I can also help edit your post if you need assistance.

I will be updating the below table to list the various volunteer writers, date the posts are due, and links to each write-up once they've been posted. The teams are ordered from the worst record to the best record.

Sidenote: if this proves to be popular, for next season we'll do a call for writers earlier and schedule to have these write-ups spread out a bit more rather than having them all come out in August. For now we're lining this up to come out before the NFL regular season starts.

Thank you in advance to everyone that volunteers their time to do this. We appreciate your participation in the community and look forward to reading your contributions.
