Looks good, thank you

Give him 50%, plus Seymour Butts is a defenseman so move him to that slot please F - Matty Fire F - AJ Williams @DMaximus

G - Cole Pearce @leafsman

I'll just skip him for now so we're not delaying further. @samx

I'm going to say he can keep participating but will automatically get a 50% payout. While it sucks to have gone through surgery, we're now three sims in and it'd be unfair for everyone else if he got full payout making picks after this many sims.

Gorgeous

Thanks, edited!

It's going to be the final round and his team will be finished once I make the picks so give him a 50% payout penalty. G - Oskar Lindbergh D - Jan Hlozek And you're up

G - Ben Dahl Should mean @jhatty8 can pick his G now

It does not work like that . DQ teams keep their picks and will continue to be competition for you. You need to repick

G - Ben Dahl @Brandon

@Vkobe-v will step in and take over from @samthemancub. Sorry to hear that you're unable to continue Sam. @Doomsday please note that Kobe will get 50% payout for being a late joiner. Advise him what picks he needs to make up as well please.

He's already been picked, please repick

I do dumb things sometimes, yes, you are . Sorry about that.

Just clarifying you meant Kyle Peace right? F - Matty Fire F - Brendan Marner @Phil is up again

Skipping @Phil, and it should be a DQ but I understand the troubles of having a newborn. For now I'll leave it as a 50% payout reduction, but if he misses more picks, it'll have to be a DQ. @aimkin you're up

My experience is quite limited so far, but Ghost is actually really good live (thanks for the rec, Bek). Volbeat performed with them the same night as co-headliners, and both were awesome live. Machine Gun Kelly opened for Fall Out Boy a few years ago and he was actually better than I expected live. Would have thought he was the headliner. Hopefully BMTH in September will be the best concert I've attended

@McWolf is DQ'd, please tag me for all his picks from now on. F - Matty Fire D - Aurelien Moreau @Hogan

F - Matty Fire Now you're up @Scurvy

F - Henri le Massif D - Jan Hlozek @STZ

G - Cole Pearce @badcolethetitan

I can see the merits of increasing from 50% of teams making it considering that a 4 team playoff was decided when it was a 6 team league. I believe our playoff formats are limited to the options in STHS, so I'd be curious to know what the options are for an 8 team league. I like giving the top seed a bye and add a fifth team so we're at 5/8 teams in the playoff. I also think it gets sketch to have teams under .500 make the playoffs, but in a league with a lower and upper bracket for TPE, development during a season can lead to playoff success. Teams that develop should have the chance to show it off in the playoffs. Maybe a 5 team playoff would be neat to see, granted if STHS allows it.

You are correct, thanks for catching that. Since he's skipped, I'll still allow you to make your selection now. @DollarAndADream please advise that you need 1 forward, not 1 defenseman

In the interest of keeping this group going, while also recognizing it's the final round and DaaD's final pick, I'm going to skip @DollarAndADream but won't DQ him. The three remaining teams need goalies and one needs a forward. Therefore, I'll give DaaD until the final pick is made to select his final defenseman. If he has not picked picked by then, I will make the pick and he will get 50% payout. @JCarson Since you are the only person who needs a forward, you can make your pick anytime. @Beketov is unavailable for a bit due to the family emergency he's posted about elsewhere on forums, and we've agreed that I'll make his final goalie pick for him and help get the group wrapped up while he's away. For Bek: G - Oskar Lindbergh @chikn

Ope my bad, F - That Dude
