Other Confusing Sections of the Rulebook

[Victor 10,949]

All this arguing about the conditions of trades and when we're allowed to trade future draft picks is excellent forum content. It's also got me wondering, what other confusing rules are there in the VHL? Let's have a quick look through the rulebook.

 

Current cap ceiling: $44,000,000

 

This is a really tricky one to interpret. Like, it says a team can't spend more than $44 million but what if it really wants to? Nothing a conversation with the commissioners can't solve, surely.

 

5.1 - Basic Rules of Training Camp

Training occurs during the pre-season, before the start of the Regular Season.

 

I mean, it says these are basic rules but that's a real mouthful. What if I want to do training camp right now? Isn't it discriminatory for me not to be able to train when I want to? We can't all be in the same place in the same week, it's inconsiderate.

 

Trivia

Up to 2 capped TPE per week can be earned through participating in VHL Trivia, where you answer VHL related questions stored in the VHL Portal.

 

The waters are really muddied on this one too. The whole concept of capped TPE feels like it's a bit of a grey area. If I was to acquire conditional future TPE, I think I would be within my rights to trade that for TPE that I could earn in future capped weeks to increase my weekly cap this week in exchange for maybe getting more TPE in 3-4 seasons.

 

 

So many poorly written rules, so little time...
