I mean I was just listing the things we sim but there’s a discussion to be had here.

VHL, VHLE, VHLM, playoffs for all three, WJC, WC, JST. Yeah just a bit of simming…

Hello everyone, I know there are some who won’t be pleased to hear this but the league has decided to end the practice of the Lottery Tournament. It was originally created to give non-playoff teams something to look at sim wise which is good in theory but in practice it has often been completely ignored by both the players and GM’s involved in it. Additionally complications have arisen with the varying lottery odds involving teams not owning their own pick and therefore, intentionally or otherwise, harming another team by choosing to ignore or tank their lines in the tournament. Lastly it just adds more simming time required to a sim team that already has 3 sets of playoffs and multiple off season tournaments to worry about. So, for all of those reasons, S88 will officially mark the final lottery tournament and moving forward they will not be held. Instead lottery odds will be locked at the following: 1. 25.0% 2. 20.0% 3. 17.5% 4. 15.0% 5. 12.5% 6. 10.0% These will still give an advantage to the worse teams, versus the old equal odds that we used pre-tournament, but will keep all teams with at least a decent shot at winning. All other rules regarding the draft lottery (only dropping 1 spot, etc) will remain the same. @VHL GM this is obviously most important for you guys so just throwing a tag there for good measure. - @Commissioner, @BOG

100%. If a GM signs with a team in FA then trades a reasonable value for their player it’s totally fine, even if that was worked out in advance of FA. The problem comes from clearly signing with a team that will accept the lowest possible offer whether it’s fair or not. All trades involving a GM getting their own player get reviewed to make sure they aren’t unreasonable. This is a pretty easy call.

Our perfect run had to end at some point. Still got a point at least, never beaten in regulation during the round robin.

Inputting players for team awards is by far the worst part of adding the awards.

Victory Cup in theory should exist, team awards are meant to show up.

As far as I can tell I was actually dead last of people who filled in every round. That’s kinda hilarious haha

Hey, my plan to predict the team I wanted to see lose worked! Then again now I need to make a new cup banner, damnit.

I hereby propose we sim it with the madness that is V2 if you want to really separate it and create some madness.

It isn’t, though there’s potentially an argument for that. I was drafted in it the past two seasons and I’m about as far as new as you can get.

Just a heads up as well for the sake of doing this quickly because it’s late (not gonna get into that right now) the intent is to sim this over the next two days so it’s not gonna be long.

INDEX Please send lines directly to me either on the forum or on discord. If you don't send in new lines your last used lines will be. @Moon @thadthrasher @FrostBeard @N0HBDY @Rayzor_7 @KaleebtheMighty Draft Lottery odds (Pre-Tournament) 1. D.C: 30.0% 2. Toronto: 22.5% 3. Malmo: 17.5% 4. New York: 12.5% 5. Warsaw: 10.0% 6. Helsinki: 7.5%

Forgot I still qualified for this, should be fun.

At least we made it interesting, just dug ourselves too deep of a hole. Congrats Oslo.
