Rule Change for Waivers

[N0HBDY 1,112]

Hello there folks, as you can see from the title there's going to be a change to how waivers in the Junior Showcase Tournament work. The JST was created to be an off-season tournament for first gens and all other VHLM-eligible players to further develop, create more opportunities for prospective GMs to gain experience, and foster a fun environment to learn more about the league. However, our main point is to help develop first-time players regardless of recruitment ups and downs. We want to see new players perform and further incentivize our GMs to take the time to pitch to waiver players. But let's cut to the chase, we're basically going to be boosting waiver players so that they actually have a chance. Here it is

 

In what will be designated as rule 2.3 "Waivers Adjustments"(Current rule 2.3 "TPA cap" will be amended to rule 2.4):

 

Rule 2.3 Waiver Adjustments

First-generation and Recreating offseason waiver-eligible players at or below 70 TPE on spawn will be subject to the choice of a "boost"(See 2.3(a)for options) to carry their player up to a total amount of 100 TPE. To select what "boost" will be applied for the duration of the tournament, the player or the manager of the player's selected team will message either the commissioner or tournament simmer for application.

 

-2.3(a) Boosts

Each attribute listed under each "boost" will be distributed evenly until the player reaches a total of 100 TPE with priority given to the first named attribute and the one then following it in cases of uneven distribution.

 

-Detroit Boost
Defense(DF)
Strength(ST)
Checking(CK)
Fighting(FG)

-Campbell Boost    
Passing(PA)
Faceoffs(FO)
Puck-Handling(PH)
Discipline(DI)

-Unassisted Boost    
Skating(SK)
Scoring(SC)
Penalty-Shot(PS)
Leadership(LD)

 

*As an added note and reminder, these "boosts" will not carry over into any other league (VHL, VHLE, VHLM) as it is exclusive to the Junior Showcase Tournament.

Why only adjust players starting under 70 if you're taking them to 100?

This is mainly targeted to first gen players, so if a max carryover recreate happened to join as a waiver then they’d get the boost along with like 20-30+ tpe that we see a lot of recreates earn in their first week. Obviously it’d be a bit more rewarding for them but less fun for lower earning players
