VHL Brands - Changes

[Quik 4,113]

Yes, another announcement incoming!

 

After taking the first couple of seasons into consideration, as well as the inaugural Sponsor's Shield Tournament, the  @BOG  has decided to make some changes to how Brands operate.

 

First, there will be a couple of Brand Executive replacements, as @Stoffiday and @AndrewWarren13 have stepped down from their positions. Replacing them will be @Enorama (Jolt Juice) and @Thranduil (True North Gear). Ryan Kastelic and John Madden will take over as their respective Brand Players, while Oleksiy Revchenko will be treated as a Mutual Termination, free to sign with any Brand, including TNG.

 

Next, there will be two new brands introduced, as we look to alleviate some of the brand rosters. The Brand Executives for these two new brands are @DilIsPickle and @Nykonax, taking over Over Armour and FERDA, respectively. As both Diljodh and Dahlberg were endorsed by other Brands, they will be treated as Mutual Terminations when becoming Brand Execs of their new Brands.

Tired of needing to wear long johns underneath your equipment? Having to wear hockey pants, socks and a sweaty, stinky jersey? Well, Over Armour might just be your solution! A one-piece coverall for the hockey player on the go, Over Armour provides a quick, zip-up suit that goes above your equipment. No longer do you need to put on socks, then pants, and then a jersey over everything. And say goodbye to those sticky long-johns! Now, you just put your equipment on your naked body, the way God intended, then zip up and head out onto the ice, quick and easy!

As for the actual changes to how Brands operate, they are as follows:

 

1. Endorsement Contracts

There will be two changes to Endorsement Contracts, going forward. The first is that they will now run only during tournament seasons, with a maximum length of 3 tournaments. (i.e. the next 3 tournament seasons are S65, 67, and 69).

 

The second is that the salary brackets will see a slight change. Going forward, the maximum will drop from $3M to $2M, while the minimum will rise from $250k to $500k. Anyone who was set to make $3M for this season will still receive their full salary, while anyone who was set to make $250k will see a bump up to $500k. A full list of endorsement slots can be seen in the spoiler tag below:

 

Spoiler

1. $2,000,000
2. $2,000,000
3. $1,500,000
4. $1,250,000
5. $1,250,000
6. $1,000,000
7. $1,000,000
8. $750,000
9. $750,000
10. $750,000
11. $500,000
12. $500,000
13. $500,000
14. $500,000
15. $500,000

 

2. Roster Sizes

With the addition of two new Brands, Roster Minimums will also be lowered. Teams may still fill their roster, if they wish, but minimums will now be 6 Forwards, 4 Defenders, and 1 Goalie. Teams will still need to play a backup goalie, however, and if they do not have one on their roster, a VHLM Bot will be their backup.

 

3. Brand Executive Pay

With contracts running only during tournament seasons, Brand Executives will also see a slight change in pay structure. During tournament seasons, they will still receive 2 TPE per week. However, during non-tournament seasons, they will now receive 1 TPE Job Pay.

 

3. Brand Tournament Theme PT

During Sponsor's Shield Tournament seasons, all members will be allowed to claim 2 Uncapped TPE for a 6-TPE Point Task completed that is focused on Brands and/or the Sponsor's Shield. Point Tasks must be submitted between the start of the Regular Season and the End of the Sponsor's Shield to qualify for the TPE Bonus.

 

One Last Thing:

Any players who did not receive an endorsement offer during S64 may claim $500k in a thread to be posted in the Brands Section. Any player who made only $250k from Endorsements in S64 may claim an additional $250k in that same thread.

This off-season is going to give me carpal tunnel.

Tamper me, daddies.

Awesome, thanks for the trust with this!

These look like good changes. I still hate brands and want them to die a painful death, but these are good changes (except for the part about adding more).

Where do I see how long my contract is for? I don't remember.

If a contract ended in S66 or S67, it will now only run through the S65 tournament. If it ended in S68 or 69, then it will run through the S67 tournament. 

 

Anyone without an endorsement for S65 will need to sign a new deal to participate in next season’s tournament.
