Mandatory: Roster checks

[JiriHrdina]

OK folks
It is time to review the sim roster files and submit your corrections.
You will need to get the sim up and running to do this. And download the new roster files at
cphl.calgarypuck.com/pages/simupload/CPHL1.stc

You then need to check the rosters and submit any corrections as well as position additions. Given the high volume of moves in the off-season there will be mistakes.
You should send a single email to cphltrade that outlines the following

Players that should be removed from your team
- Names
- What team they should be on instead or if they should simply be free agents

Players that should be added to your team
- Names
- *please note that not ALL your AHL players will be in the file. Players that didn’t play pro hockey last year basically have no rating – so you only should add players that you believe you will use during the season and are missing

Position additions
- Name of the player
- Position that you want added
- Link that proves they can play that position
- Acceptable links:
o Hockeydb
o NHL.com
o TSN
o ESPN
ADDED: Elite prospects
o Official NHL team pages
o Sportsnet
- Other guidelines
o Positions must be specific. Forward will not be sufficient to add C, LW or RW. Winger won’t be sufficient to add LW and RW. You need to show the specific position
o Articles where the author refers to the player’s position will not be sufficient. You need to show a player profile page or roster.
o This will be the only chance to add positions this season. After this process they are locked for the season

Deadline on the above: next Friday 11:59 PM Calgary time

Please post this thread when you have completed this process and sent your email.

This is a critical process to ensure everyone has the sim up and running and rosters are correct. Please give it proper energy and time to review your rosters.

Questions?

[JonDuke]

For player position additions, I just want to clarify...
Are the current positions listed in the roster file, here, set in stone (and not being changed) and we are only adding additional positions on top of those one(s) currently listed?

[JiriHrdina]

Yes you only need to ask for additions. No need to prove any position already listed.

[Cheese]

which Sim version are we using? Apologies if I missed this.

[JiriHrdina]

Good question. I'm on V3.0 but let me know if when you try to load the file if it doesn't work. I may have to update the core sim.

[Cheese]

The SIM V3 is looking for an .stc file and the linked file is .stm

[Knut]

That file is .sth Which needs the full version of the sim.. not just the client. it needs to be a .stc file

[JiriHrdina]

oops try this
cphl.calgarypuck.com/pages/simupload/CPHL1.stc

Okay, I just noticed after submitting changes in an email that the actual roster positions they are listed as on the website's roster page (http://cphl.calgarypuck.com/rosters/fla.htm) are not reflected on this page http://cphl.calgarypuck.com/pages/si...eamRoster.html

With the roster positions on the team page, they were accurate at some point but some players like Marleau being a RW like he is on that page. However, I can only find him as a LW. Does that mean that the current roster page's positions are now inaccurate? (namely because that means I have will have 6 C, 3 RW and 3 LW and that is after swapping their positions to maximize the roster)

Finished...

Can not find a Link to have Kuznetsov as a Winger.. So i guess he goes on the block

What is on the website doesn't matter anymore. Just what's in the sim.

Is there a way to find a player that's missing from your roster in the sim? The built in player search doesn't show position, the position code (3) the sim outputs seems to match John Mitchell being C/LW but I want to make sure before I submit changes.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

So we can't use sites such as eliteprospects anymore for references of position? Often times they give an accurate account of which position the player is/has played in the past.

That was the one site that seemed like an omission that should be used as well.

Yeah if you can't find the player use the output file. It should be accurate.

Sure - don't want to add a bunch, but that one seems fair. We will allow that one.

[JiriHrdina]

Got a text about this one
Do you need to worry about whether a player is on the farm or CPHL in the sim?
Not that this point. It WILL matter when the season starts, as players can only play if they are on your CPHL roster on the site and in the sim. But you can call players up and down in both yourself. The key is that they match.
But that isn't a requirement now, or something the league needs to correct for you.

Any chance we can use hockey-reference?

[JiriHrdina]

No, would prefer to go with more official sites.
