Board of Governors State of The Address (Seasonal)

[Devise 4,475]

Hello everyone. After some discussion about this with members, and in the BoG we agree'd that as team, the BoG could be a bit more transparent then we were being. Therefore every off season I'll give a brief little update on what the BoG has worked on the past season and what could be discussed next season. Without further adieu, here we go.

 

During Season 39, on top of the usual work load of determining and voting Hall of Fame ballots the BoG had some discussion on changes that you ended up seeing get implemented throughout the season. Among those changes, some of the VHLM changes were implemented. Expect more VHLM changes to roll out over the next couple seasons as we all agree on what we think should or shouldn't be done. We covered a lot from the VHLM such as the waiver process, the lottery, and a GM review process. We recognize that the VHLM is probably the most tinkered with part of the VHL, but as the entry point for new members it generally will be the case. 

 

Discussions and test sims happened on STHS V2 and how it may fit into the VHL scheme. I can report that the probability of us ever implementing STHS V2 is very slim. Even with tons of adjusting and tests with our full roster it was very difficult to normalize the statistics to a pace that would be usual for this league. 

 

After the player store got restructured last off season, we continue to discuss possibilities for contract carry over or extensions. We realize that people have a bit less options on what to spend on in their final season. 

 

We continue to discuss more options that would highlight newer and prominent members in the league. The magazine has had some adjustments with that, with covers and what not. The consensus from us was that the "new post" feature that the chat system can use should be used more often when interesting things such as the mag posted. 

 

There was some discussion on the realism versus the flexibility of VHL training camp. At the moment there are no changes planned for that, however the discussion can continue. 

 

Two unnamed teams were analyzed both for GM quality, and franchise quality. Keep in mind the BoG is not the only deciding factor in replacing GM's or relocating teams or really anything to that effect. However I can say discussions were had on the state of two different teams, just as a method of ensuring every franchise in the VHL has the opportunity to succeed. Another idea that had some quick discussion before being implemented was the Player Card Crew. 

 

Heading into next season, the World Cup comes back next off season and we had some changes to it last time out. We had a Team World and a Team Merc last time out, and that'll be discussed before it is decided if it will continue. Another thing that I'm sure we will continue to work on next season is equal opportunity in the league for every method of point task. Whether it is extra activities or league jobs ensuring that those who do media spots, graphics, and radio/podcast all have the same opportunities is a priority. 

 

That about wraps it up. I'd like to encourage all members who have questions or ideas to the BoG to send them to a BoG member. While everything that gets sent may not get posted, we have examples of some discussions/ideas that were presented by people outside the BoG that did in fact make a difference. So we appreciate your guys feedback. Thanks for your read, and enjoy Season 40 everyone! 

 

Head to this page, you can also find it pinned in the announcements section for a current list of the BoG members!

Actually I think we did agree on Training Camp changes. Good reminder here.
