S81 Playoffs Begin

[Spartan 4,402]

I've got a question about call-ups that has probably been answered before informally, but I can't find the official answer in the rulebook. I'm operating under the impression that the VHL Rulebook is completely up to date, and that it is the guide to refer to for any operational queries.

 

However, I'm still not sure how the implementation of the VHLE impacts timing of call-ups to the VHL.

 

Quote

 7.3 - Call-ups

Any VHLM player may be called up by their VHL team at any point between the off-season and the trade deadline. No call-ups may take place from the trade deadline to the end of playoffs.

I said I was operating with the impression the rulebook was up to date, but since call-ups still refer to VHLM->VHL, I suppose it isn't. The VHLM/VHLE cutoff has been set for Sunday, November 14th. In the past, the cutoff has always been treated as the date players that don't want to get called up hold their TPE at, until it passes.

 

So, a couple questions:

 

1. Can a player, less than 10 TPE away from a league's cap, claim the full amount of training camp TPE? Will that process force them above their respective cap?

 

Quote

S81 VHLM / VHLE TPE Cut-Off  

(Any players who have earned 200 TPE or more, up to and including this date, will no longer be eligible to play in the VHLM for S81. Likewise any players who have earned 400 TPE or more, up to and including this date, will no longer be eligible to play in the VHLE for S81. - Training Camp may not be claimed if you are at the Cap; if you are within 10 of the cap on this date, you may claim up to the cap, i.e. If you are at 194, you may claim 6 TPE from Training Camp)  

I know it says no in this portion here, but the same wording existed in the S78->S79 portion. I had a situation where a prospect claimed the full training camp and it took them over 250, therefore forcing them up.

Quote

S79 VHLM TPE Cut-Off  

(Any players who have earned 251 TPE or more, up to and including this date, will no longer be eligible to play in the VHLM for S79 - Training Camp may not be claimed if you are at the Cap; if you are within 10 of the cap on this date, you may claim up to the cap, i.e. If you are at 244, you may claim 6 TPE from Training Camp)  

 

2. In order for a VHL team to call up a prospect, does that prospect have to be at/above 350 TPE by the M/E cutoff? If not, when is the latest day a team can choose to call-up their player?

Hmmm... This seems interesting for some reason. Idk why.

I only see the VHL draft. Do we already have a date for the E and M draft

I thought the same thing but do you see the spoiler at the very top? It lists some of the things that still need to be placed

Yes I've seen it I just wanted to ask

No, that's a copy paste miss that should be removed. Training Camp is post cutoff and has nothing to do with eligibility.

350 minimum at the cutoff (finance, M, E) and they can be called up anytime until the end of the off-season.

So a prospect who hits 350 next Monday would not be eligible to get called up despite it just being the first day of the second offseason week?

It should be 'by the draft', right? In regards to S80+ players if they can play skip the E and play in the VHL.

That makes it a bit too vague, considering draft dates vary every offseason. If we're standardizing the length, I'd just rather have the cutoff to call up players be at the end of the off-season, which seems logical enough.

S81 Theme Week

 

@Beketov @Josh

We decided to replace theme week this season with the Christmas stuff since they were happening at essentially the same time anyway.
