A Comprehensive TPE Guide - Now Public

[Spartan 4,097]

 

TPE, or Total Points Earned, is essentially the virtual currency used in this league to upgrade your players. You can earn TPE by completing Point Tasks, each of which are worth a specific amount. I'll break those down soon. In addition, it's important to remember that there are capped, and uncapped TPE. Tasks that fall under "capped" TPE can only be completed a certain amount of times per week. This is to avoid someone with a lot more spare time or resources from having a significant advantage over someone with less time or resources. The VHL aims to set equal ground for everyone, which is why it can be extremely easy for you to become a star player, just by taking the time to read this guide and complete Point Tasks in an efficient manner!

 

Weekly Point Tasks - Capped (Can't exceed 12 total)

Point Tasks - Only ONE of these can be done per week - Makes up 6 out of 12 capped TPE each week.

Media Spot - an article of at least 500 words about anything league related.

Graphic - Any VHL related graphic with some decent effort put in.

Podcast - A podcast at least 15 minutes long about anything VHL related.

Welfare - If you're running short on time in a week, just claim welfare! It's a free 4 capped TPE, and replaces your regular point task which is otherwise worth 6 capped TPE. This means your weekly capped drops to 10 max per week!

 

Mini-PT's - These make up the last 6 of your 12 capped TPE in a week!

Press Conferences - These are super simple to complete each week. All you have to do is answer 6 questions for 2 TPE, or 3 questions for 1 TPE. The questions are always provided by the GM or the AGM, so have fun answering them! Get into character if you'd like!

Trivia - Answer two questions for 1 TPE each. No answer sharing, but you can get help from friends/teammates/GMs on where to find the answer.

VHL.com Article - Write a 150 word article about anything league related! 

VHL.com Graphic - Create a simple graphic that's league related.

VHL.com Podcast - Record a short podcast for 3 TPE!

Affiliate VHL.com Replacement - Part of one of the leagues listed in section 10.2 here (SBA, SSL, PBE)? If you complete a specific weekly PT for 3 TPE there, you can replace a vhl.com here and get 2 TPE!

Reviewing - Review other people's Media Spots, Graphics, or Podcasts for 1 TPE each, for 2 TPE max per week!

Jobs - There are various jobs you can hold in the VHL, almost all of which pay out TPE. Keep an eye on that subforum for new job postings!

 

*Note on the VHL.com tasks. You may only complete two types of VHL.com tasks per week, and they must be different. For example, you can complete a graphic and an article, but not two articles.

 

Uncapped Opportunities - Does not count against your cap of 12 a week

Practice Facility - On the Portal, a free 1/2 uncapped TPE each week just for clicking a button! (If you are in the VHLM or VHLE, you get 2 a week. VHLers get 1 a week.)

Career Point Tasks - Can be done at various stages in your career, and DO NOT count against your cap of 12 each week! If you're brand new, you can write your Junior Review - a review of your player's career up to the point they joined the VHLM! It's usually 400 words for 5 uncapped TPE!

Recruit a Friend - If you like the VHL, get friends to join! For each friend you recruit, you get uncapped TPE! The longer they stay and the more involved they get, the more TPE you get as well.

VHL Fantasy Zone - This is a weekly opportunity for all members. Predict the winners of specific games each week, and try to guess the winner and score of one specific game. Win uncapped TPE if you guess correctly!

VHFL - Seasonal fantasy VHL hockey. Draft a team of 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, and one goalie and compete to have the best fantasy team within your group. Win 6 TPE for winning your group, but even if you come in last, you still get 1 TPE!

Super Coach - Seasonal DFS style team building game, where you have a set budget to select a full team of VHL players. TPE gets paid out by end of season percentiles.

Affiliate Check - If you're a member of the SBA, you can claim a weekly Quote completed in the SBA here in the VHL for 1 uncapped TPE per month!

 

 

This is by no means the extent of uncapped opportunities. Keep an eye open, especially during the offseason, for various other opportunities such as Fantasy Hockey, Predictions, Training Camp and more!

 

How to Claim TPE

Now that you've completed point tasks, it's time to learn how to claim your tasks for TPE! First, go to the post you just made containing your task, and look in the top right corner. You'll see a "Share" link that creates a pop-up where you can copy a direct link to your post. Make sure to copy this!

 

Next, head to the portal, which is where you create and update your player. Click here to get to your player management page. Once there, click on the appropriate button on the side: "Claim Capped" or "Claim Uncapped." Then, select the appropriate category and "Type" of Point Task and fill in the fields. If you have any questions on what the categories are, don't hesitate to reach out to team management.

 

You're all done! Make sure you put in the right date, the right link, and the right amount of TPE, and updaters will approve it as soon as possible!

 

 

This is a lot of information, and we get it can seem confusing! If you have any questions, please reach out on Discord, and I can help you out! There are no dumb questions!

I've had this guide in Moscow for a while, and figured I might as well make it public and join the million other "what is TPE and how do I get it guides" with slightly more updated language. Also since I needed to share this with folks outside the VHL, couldn't keep it in the LR

I’m pretty sure silent edits don’t work on blues anyway so it wouldn’t matter.

Thank you. This will help me to become a good player and also know how to earn the points.
