This issue will be dealt behind closed doors. The GM will receive a pm from Hockey Operations Department. All warnings and offenses will be recorded.

Suspensions:
Player Suspensions will be handled by the Commissioner J.V or Hockey Ops Director Mr.Grass. The player that was involved in the fraction will be suspended (place on the beach for x # of games). Teams have the right to ask for a conference call on the decision for appeal.
* If a team gets a player into the lineup without proper notice, or approval some stuff...as we can't take away pts in the

Am I reading this right?

Whoever finishes 1st in the pool gets 1st overall pick for the entry draft, then gets extra picks in the 4th round and also gets the 1st pick of the players from the most recent draft??

[grasser]

Haha no you're not reading it right.
Whoever finishes first picks last in the entry. The top 3 do get the extra 4th round pick as a part of their winnings but that's it.
The UFA draft is random. JV has a site he puts all 16 teams into and it randomly gives us an order each year

[rack55]

Well, the 5th rd, which is only players from the last NHL draft, is reverse order, where the sfhl team who finished 1st gets the 1st pick.
Here's the order of the entry draft. The numbers in the list are the place the team finished (ie, 16 means the last place team). Of course, to further complicate things, 16th doesn't necessarily mean 16th, as the 14th-16th place teams go in a lottery for those placements.

Man, when you try to explain this league to newcomers, it really shows how ridiculously complicated we've become.

[rack55]

If you finish 14th, but win the lottery, you pick 1st in rd 1, 2, and 3.

[grasser]

Actually it's the bottom 5 now I do believe Rack.. so 12-16 go into it.

Ok I understand how it goes now....... what i don't understand is why?? Why would the 1st place team get 1st overall pick of the most important draft (5th rd entry draft i.e. Yakupov, Nug, Hall, crosby, ovie.... etc) that makes it extremely hard for bottom teams to improve when the top teams get the top players in each years draft. Anyone else feel this way?

[coach]

All eligible prospects are available in the the first 4 rounds of the entry (3 rounds + 3 boues picks in the 4th rd)
The top prospects from the NHL draft (Yakupov) and the players that have been in the league but played less than 100games (Henrique) get picked in these rounds.

The 5th entry was added a couple years ago to deepen teams farms system. Players selected in this round have to of been drafted in that years NHL draft. The players selected here are typically late 1st rounder and 2nd that where not already snatched up in the previous 4 rounds.

Have a look at this thread, it will show you how the draft went.

oh hahaha sorry

I was under the impression you couldn't draft those guys until 5th round hahaha idiot......

i'm still working my way around the site so i guess i haven't made it there yet

thanks Coach

[coach]

When you read our rules, it gets more and more complicated.
Keep asking questions.
Alot of them had to be put in place to close loopholes so pricks like swat couldn't take advantage of them.

[drail]

Hahaha ok

[Jeff]

OMG Holiday Express, we got alot of rules Hendu..and your doing a fine job as per roach just keep asking as it does get a little crazy ...

[melcher]

Yep. Asking questions shows your interest in the league....i still do, or I complain about current ones. Haha

[cam]

Yea, these are good questions... This is my third season as an expansion franchise, and your concerns were all mine as well... Trying to find a strategy to improve as fast as possible. And I still have to ask a lot of questions. Draft lottery looks like a gem this year. Keep an eye out for tankers! Haha
