The BoG and Commissioner team has approved a new fantasy game for S88 - one that was created by @Berocka well over a year ago. Many of us like to play DFS styled fantasy games for IRL sports, so the VHL is rolling out a new, seasonal, fantasy option.
How it works:
- Each team will compose of 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, and 1 goalie.
- Every player has a cost. Remove the last 2 digits of their TPA, and that is their cost. For example, Nico Pearce is 1197 TPA - remove the last two digits and his cost will be $11. Vasile Lamb has 945 TPA, his cost will be $9.
- Your total budget for your team is $42. You may go under budget, but you may not go over.
- Scoring works the same as VHFL. See VHFL scoring rules here in section 3.
Payout:
Like VHFL, this game will pay out at the conclusion of the S88 VHL regular season. However, the payout structure is different since you are not competing against just a group of 6 users, but rather everyone who participates in Super Coach.

Special Rules:
I hope to flesh out the official rules post here with Berocka's help, but for now, I will list a few notables below.
1. In order to encourage unique teams, a user with a unique team will receive a 10 point bonus added on to their score. This is to prevent everyone copying the same person's team. I will also not be showing submitted teams until after Super Coach is closed.
I thought there'd be a 2nd one but I don't think it'd quite make sense on a large scale. So TO BE DETERMINED. This is a first run on a large scale so there will likely be changes for future versions. Please let me know if you have any feedback.
Deadline: After first VHL sims on Wednesday, April 5th

As I do with every team I am on, the jersey turntable! I enjoyed my time in the E with Geneva and think that this may be the best jersey I have done so far!
The new series out of Malmo is here, the State of the Team Address! This is where I - as the GM of Malmo - will recap the previous season, thank our players, and talk about our transition into the new season.
