VHFL Rules

 

1. Basic Structure
   1. A sign-up thread will be posted for every VHFL season. Users must post in the sign-up thread to participate in that year's VHFL.
      • Any user who fails to sign up in the initial thread will be handled case-by-case. If allowed to participate, the user may face a reduction in their final payout. The VHFL Manager will determine the extent of the reduction.
   2. Entrants will be randomly sorted into groups of six users, with one Group Manager included. Each group will participate in its draft. Any situation with a number of entrants that is not divisible by 6 will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
   3. Each team will draft a roster of 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, and 1 goalie.
   4. The draft will go in snake order. The user with the 1st pick will draft the 12th, and the user with the 6th will pick the 7th. The rest will follow suit.
       
2. Payout
   • 1st place: 6 TPE
   • 2nd place: 5 TPE
   • 3rd place: 4 TPE
   • 4th place: 3 TPE
   • 5th place: 2 TPE
   • 6th place: 1 TPE
   • Note: In some instances, listed in Section 4: Drafting, a user may receive 50% of their final payout. Payouts always round up to the nearest whole number. (Ex. 2.5 -> 3, 1.5 -> 2, 0.5 -> 1)
      
3. Scoring
   1. Forwards:
      • Goals = 2 points
      • Assists = 1.3 points
      • Shots Blocked = 0.6 points
      • Hits = 0.3 points
      • +/- = 0.2 points
   2. Defensemen:
      • Goals = 3 points
      • Assists = 1.5 points
      • Shots Blocked = 0.3 points
      • Hits = 0.3 points
      • +/- = 0.2 points
   3. Goalies:
      • Wins = 2 points
      • Shutouts = 5 points
      • Saves = 0.1 points
      • Goals Against = -0.5 points
         
4. Drafting
   1. In the fantasy draft, you have 12 hours to make a pick. If you fail to make a selection in that period, you will be skipped. If you have already been skipped once and get skipped for a second time on any future turn, you will be disqualified, and the VHL Fantasy Zone Manager will draft the rest of your team for you. You will not be eligible for any VHFL TPE in that season.
   2. The final non-skipped selection in a group will have the normal 12 hours to select their final player. If they do not pick within that timeframe, and it was not their second skip, they will have an additional 6 hours to make the pick. If the pick is not made in the additional time, the VHL Fantasy Zone Manager will make it, and that team will receive 50% of their final payout. If the final selection misses the normal 12-hour window, and it would have been their second skip, they will be disqualified as normal.
      • e.g., Sam is the last person slotted to make a selection, and all other teams' rosters are complete. Sam misses her final selection in the 12-hour window. Sam will get an additional 6 hours to make her final selection. If Sam had missed her 1st round selection in addition to this 6th round selection, she would be disqualified.
   3. Any team with pending selections at the end of the draft will have an additional 6 hours to complete their roster. If selections are not made in that time period, the VHL Fantasy Zone Manager will complete any unfinished rosters. If one selection must be made, the team will receive 50% of their final payout. If two selections must be made, the team will be disqualified as normal. 
      • e.g., N0HBDY was in Sam's draft group, and was the first person to select in the 6th round and missed his pick. He will have up to 6 hours after Sam's 12-hour window is completed to make his final pick. If he misses that window, his pending selection will be made by the VHL Fantasy Zone manager, and he will receive 50% of his final payout.
   4. Users on the tail end of the snake draft with two consecutive selections must make both picks within a 12-hour window. If the user fails to make both selections within the 12-hour window, they will be skipped for both picks. If the user has already been skipped once, and fails to make both picks within the 12-hour window, they will be disqualified. The user will not be eligible for any VHFL TPE that season.
      • e.g., If User A has the 6th and 7th picks in the draft, they must make both selections within the same 12-hour timeframe. If they do not, and it’s their first skip, they are skipped for both selections. If it’s their second skip, they are disqualified.
         
5. Group Managers
   1. Group Managers are expected to be familiar with, and enforce these VHFL rules in their group. This includes:
      1. Making a comprehensive roster of all teams and their selections.
      2. Spelling all player names correctly.
      3. Keeping their group moving (ex. moving on to the next team after a 12-hour pick window elapses).
   2. Group Managers will be selected at the discretion of the VHL Fantasy Zone Manager.
   3. Group Managers will receive one (1) bonus TPE on top of their final payout as compensation.
   4. If the VHL Fantasy Zone Manager determines that a Group Manager has not fulfilled the requirements of their position, they may revoke the GM pay at the end of the season.
