Quik 4,113 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi @Members, Something that has long been discussed is the fact that there is an optimal time to create a player for any given draft, and that is right at the trade deadline, giving some players several weeks of earning potential over members who create later on in the process. While it is impossible to completely negate this fact, we have worked to find a solution that we think is more fair to members who create their player in the weeks that follow the deadline. Thus, the Late Joiner Adjustment! The Late Joiner Adjustment equates to +6 TPE for every week that has passed since the most recent trade deadline, which for this season means that anyone who creates a player next week, they are entitled to an additional 6 TPE, on top of their starting TPE, and applies to both first-gen members and re-creates. While we do plan on automating this process into the portal, having the adjusted start TPE automatically applied upon creation, it is not currently a feature that is available. In the mean time, players who create as of April 27th may link to this post to claim their corresponding Late Joiner Adjustment as Uncapped Career TPE, which can be seen below for the dates of creation. UPDATE: As of May 13th, the Adjusted Starting TPE has been automated. Anyone who creates a player going forward does not need to worry about manually claiming. Anyone who created a player between April 27th and May 13th (before the update went live) is eligible to manually claim the Late Joiner Adjustment, as follows: Quote Go to the VHL Portal > Player > Manage > Claim Uncapped TPE > Career > Late Joiner Adjustment. From there, link to this post and claim the corresponding TPE, below. Player Creation Dates // Late Joiner Adjustment Apr 27 - May 03 // +6 TPE May 04 - May 10 // +12 TPE May 11 - May 17 // +18 TPE omgitshim, HearnNation67, LittleRiDog and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berocka 2,186 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 In before people complain that they didn't get this handout. I think it is a great idea, it's enough to give people that bit of a kickstart to be able to boost their draft stock quicker. I think it is a good idea. xsjack, DoktorFunk and LittleRiDog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioner Beketov 8,639 Posted April 22, 2020 Commissioner Share Posted April 22, 2020 @VHLM GM We will he adding this link to the welcome message but in case people don’t read that please make sure to direct all your new recruits who create as of next Monday to this to get them the bonus while it’s still in the process of being automated.

TheFlash 317 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 So retiring and recreating at the deadline is kind of pointless now, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it’ll still give you the best bang for your buck since you can get the full cap every week and this only offers half of it. This just makes the difference much less severe so that someone joining right before the deadline isn’t behind by 200+ TPE right off the starting line. Basically the people actively putting in the work the whole time will still see a benefit but those who simply had the misfortune of joining later aren’t punished as severely. animal74 and Lefty_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomsday 4,034 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I like it, this is a really nice way to give those that find the VHL at a less than ideal time a fighting chance to be competitive. Speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostBeard 1,975 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think that this is a great way how to help players who feel that they have no chance at catching others in their Draft class. It will not make anyone catch up but at least it will make the difference smaller and everyone who caps out will feel closer to the top. Awesome idea, props to the leadership!

jman9theman9 16 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 So if I joined yesterday 4/21, I will not be able to receive any extra TPE since 4/27-5/1 is the first week of Late joiners adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, you joined the same week as our trade deadline, so the late joiner bonus does not apply for anyone creating this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct because you have ample time to earn double what they can earn. In all honesty if you do the PT which is a free doubles week you can even earn more TPE (6*2) and then other TPE uncapped TPE. You joined at a great time for your draft class.
