Neat, I actually did not know that.

Season 88 Experience Points Congratulations to all @Members for the completion of another successful VHL season, as well as to the London United for taking home their first Continental Cup. As always, with the season past, all VHL players have earned some more experience.... But wait, that's not all! Before I get into the usual yada yada I want to point out the rest of the title up there: Experience for VHLM & VHLE! The commish team and BOG have decided that the time is right to have the VHLM and VHLE receiving some experience as well. Now there's will not be as complicated or plentiful but it's still something. Anyone who participated in the VHLM or VHLE in S88 is eligible to claim 3 Experience Points. Okay, moving into the rest of the post now. How to Claim Claim experience in the Player Management area by clicking the 'CLAIM UNCAPPED' button, select Off-Season, then select Experience from the dropdown. Enter the amount of Experience you are eligible for as described below and link to this thread.  Once approved, the Experience will be added directly to your player's experience attribute. You do not need to apply it yourself.  NOTE: YOU CAN NOT CARRY OVER EXPERIENCE POINTS EARNED BY A RETIRED PLAYER ONTO A RECREATE  POINTS Full VHL Season - 5 Points Partial VHL Season - 2 points (Less than 72 GP in VHL, unless due to a trade) Playoffs - 2 Points Finals - 1 Point VHLE (Any Amount) - 3 Points VHLM (Any Amount) - 3 Points Example: Marcel Janser played for London and won in the finals.

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.

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.
