New rules for 2013/2014

[JiriHrdina]

Hey folks,
Just want to confirm the following rule changes that have been discussed (and many voted on):

1. Sim change: as already announced we will be turning off coaching, morale completely and also throttling down scoring in the sim.
2. Draft change: we will adopt the NHL draft lottery system, mapping each team's position in the CPHL to the relative NHL position, and then using the NHL's winner
3. Alignment: we will follow the new conference alignment adopted by the NHL
4. Waiver: we will NOT be making any changes. Although when voted on, the option to go exclusively by standings won, it did so with less than 50%. More than half the league voted to keep it as is, or they didn't care. This isn't decisive enough to merit a change and the commissioners feel the current rule works fine.

Any questions?

No questions, you captured all of it.

[JiriHrdina]

Relevant changes made to the rules page of the actual site so unstickying this.
