Yes, I'm aware. And I admit that I made the mistake of saying that he was over. I never saw him remove it in his update thread, which is how I assumed it would have been done. I was wrong. I have already made note of that.

He claimed Welfare for June 15-21 in his final update before the start of the season. That's what put him over 400.

Allow me to educate you. The deadline cutoff is based on when the previous season ends. It's determined to be a specific week, and that doesn't change regardless of how long the off-season is. For Season 44 brackets, the cutoff was the week of June 15-21; so any TPE earned for that week (regardless of when it is updated) is the last of what is included in determining the bracket. Here is my final update before crossing 600 TPE. Only 6 of those points are even included; the rest are off-season TPE, which are, per the rules, not part of bracket determination. In the update where I actually cross 600 TPE, seen here, I only add more off-season TPE. So for assigning my bracket, my TPE level to be considered was actually 575, a number that is, without debate, smaller than 600. Now let's look at Komarov. Here is his final update before passing 400. As you can tell by the date, it was still during the season, so there isn't any TPE there that is not going to be considered for his bracket. That put him at 399. Reaching 401 TPE would put him in the next bracket, and he does that in his next update. The first thing he claims in there is Welfare for the week of June 15-21. Even though he didn't update it until after the cutoff date, it's included because of when he earned it.

I mean, I wasn't even at the point where I needed to stop adding points to stay under. @Draper @Higgins @flyersfan I want you guys to do something about Kendrick. He's slandering me. It's probably just a case of Kendrick not understanding how the bracket determination works though.

I'd love to see the evidence to back this up.

Well holy shit, Kendrick just flat out making shit up to try to make a point. Can't say I'm too surprised.

Hey, I can only report the truth. Sorry :\

I'm pretty sure it used to be worse, where it was actually enforced that GM's could make deals where the future deal was a part of the original deal. Then the VHL made a rule to stop that. But yeah, you're mostly right.

To be honest, a big part of the reason why I was upset with it is because the only explanation I had ever been given for why the TOR/HSK deal happened last season was something like "it had been agreed upon in the GM forum" or something like that. It's very possible that I mis-remembered what was said to me, or perhaps I misunderstood what exactly was agreed upon in the GM forum (allowing the trade, not the trade itself). That, plus things that Victor had been saying in the Stockholm LR while giving off the impression that he was speaking on behalf of the league as a messenger to us, make me believe that based on what happened then, something else should have been done here. Once that was cleared up with Draper and he finally told me what happened (thus sparking me to write a media spot so everyone else can know about it as well), I moved back to simply being annoyed and bitter about this not working out.

"Soon" is now; the truth behind the approval of the HSK/TOR deadline deal Last season, the VHL commissioners approved of a trade that was not accepted until after the deadline. Normally this would not be allowed, but in this specific case there were unusual circumstances behind the delayed acceptance. The reason behind pushing the trade through, however, was never revealed publicly. People questioned the decision, and theories were crafted as to why it was allowed to go through. One of the more questionable aspects of the decision was that it was never even really addressed that there was even a decision being made; none of the commissioners came out and even acknowledged that the trade was late and they had reasons for its approval. When it started to be questioned, the commissioner who finally spoke up about it, unfortunately, was William Shaw, who is also the general manager of the Helsinki Titans. Even though he was not a part of the decision that was made, it would have been more sensible for another commissioner to issue the message. But that was not the case, and Shaw made the declaration that "this trade went through for a specific reason that will be clear soon." That reason is finally coming to light now. VHL commissioner and Helsinki general manager Don Draper Before I get to that reason, I feel it appropriate to take a look at the trade first. Going to Helsinki was Toronto's Season 45 first round pick. No doubt, this pick had incredible value at the time, given the early strength of the Season 45 draft class. With Toronto almost certainly heading toward a rebuild beginning in Season 44, the pick was, and still is, likely to become a top four selection. In return, Toronto received Tyson Stokes, a forward in his fifth season. This deal was part of a series of deals between the two teams negotiated before the start of the season. At this point in the season, however, it was looking highly unlikely that Toronto would stand a chance int he playoffs. While the Seattle Bears showed that regular season standings are not a tell-all indicator of how the playoffs will go, the Legion were embarrassed by the eventual champs in round one. While Stokes was a respectable player, it's hard to argue that he was worth the pick that Toronto gave up, considering the team's low chance of success. The controversy behind the deal came from the fact that it was accepted by Toronto's general manager Tyler Edgar after the trade deadline. VHL precedent requires that trades be accepted by both involved teams prior to the set deadline; simply having the trade posted is not enough. But it was approved, and with no explanation as to why other than Shaw's unfulfilled "soon" promise, rumors were created. They mostly surrounded Edgar's position as GM and involved him stepping down. Popular was the notion that John Fever, the name I've created for Tyson Stokes' agent, was chosen to be Edgar's replacement, and the deal was approved to ensure that he was sent to the team reasonably soon. This theory died when Sachimo Zoidberg became the next Legion GM, giving way to the belief that Zoidberg had been running the team behind the scenes but they didn't want to make the change mid-season. When asked, Zoidberg claimed to not know about the trade happening. There was no truth to these theories, or any other that came up. Former Toronto general manager Tyler Edgar I recently asked Shaw about the situation, as I had done in the past to no clear answer, but this time he was more willing to share. In the interest of full disclosure, I believe people have the right to know the truth in a situation where a VHL rule was forgone, especially considering the confusion that ensued. That being said, I also believe it is best to give his full quote rather than summarizing it. So there you have it; Edgar had planned to pass the team on to Spunky Munk, but the commissioners did not approve of this replacement, instead suggesting someone such as Zoidberg, who did eventually become GM during the off-season. I wouldn't exactly call it "soon," but the reason that the trade went through is finally becoming clear.

Eh, a big problem with that is Molholt doesn't seem to be respecting the fact that Poole would not have been on Toronto if not for the deal we had set up.

Ah, my bad. I had been assuming that the players would've posted something about it in their update threads, considering it's not really right to just take points away from players.

Except Komarov and Hunter DID update the TPE that put them over and it hasn't been removed despite the decision being made over two weeks ago.

Congratulations to stevo for being this week's leader Week 2 spreadsheet is updated with stats. Week 3 spreadsheet with rosters is up. Overall standings spreadsheet is up.

Damn, gg guys. Another really close one.

I had skittles. It wasn't too much was it?
