Folks we are going to get serious about lines. We need them each time one of your teams (NHL or AHL) plays.

As such if teams miss their lines without notifying us you will be fined 50K every time you miss NHL lines, 25K for missing AHL lines.

If the GM tells us ahead of time that they can't get them in - they will not be fined.

Questions?

We should have a strike system....not having computer access for some unknown reason or having an emergency shouldn't result in a fine

Da_Chief · 10-12-2010, 10:19 PM

Ya, there should be 2 free strikes and the fines start from 3 on...

In those cases the GM would not be fined. We will be reasonable of course. But we want to do away with the "i forgot stuff"

Hence the strike system.

I have to apologize, I didn't have my lines in by 9AM but I believe they were in prior to the sim being run...or at least I hope they were.

For whatever reason when I read the season starts on Tuesday thread I read right past where it said lines by 9AM and was waiting on you to post a Day 1 thread. When I didn't see it I just htought you were busy until I finally decided to look into it.

It's not that I forgot, I obviously just can't read. I'm really good at getting things done well prior to deadlines so it shouldn't be an issue going forward.

Easy but somewhat time consuming way to do make your team schedule

Open an excel page

Put your team name and sched in the first row, and each row after will correspond to day 2 (row 2) etc throughout

Go to the schedule on the CPHL page

hit Ctrl + F or on the drop down menu Edit --> Find

Type your team name in the resulting dialog box. Hit next

That will bring you to your next game. Copy your game, and paste it into the corresponding row (say you play tomorrow, then that game would go into row two and so on)

Then hit next again, to find your next game and continue until you get sick of it (like I did) or you complete it.

Then repeat for your farm team.

That way you'll have an easy schedule for reference with what days you do, and don't play.

My internet has a max cap of 1GB upload/download ratio per month. (He roster file take me about 20 minutes to download because of my internet speed. Now that we have to send in two sets, it might be the breaking point for me as a GM. I will have to reassess my position in the league now as I think it is growing beyond my arctic living capabilities.

So even if we keep lines the same we have to resubmit?

Correct

Is there any way to turn off the AHL lines or turn off the AHL ?

Looking at the schedule my farm team plays almost all the time on a separate day. In the first 10 days I will have to submit my lines 8 times as the Caps and Hershey Bears alternate in schedule. I know for a fact I will be unable to resubmit new lines on Sunday as I am at home.

I am also wondering about my ability to get in the lines all the time. I only have an Ipad for internet access on the weekends which does not give me acess to the sim. I am able to submit my lines at work and will do the best i can to get them in all the time. Can we send in multiple games in a row for lines ?

JiriHrdina · 10-13-2010, 10:09 AM

The problem with sending in lines for multiple days is what happens if there are injuries. Then the lines won't work.

JiriHrdina · 10-13-2010, 10:13 AM

Also remember we did say if you notify us that you can't get lines because of some of these challenges we will not fine you. But the effort needs to be made.

Prototype · 10-13-2010, 10:16 AM

Have we seen any changes in AHL lines after putting in lines for CPHL games? (ie- If I do both sets of lines for my CPHL game on Monday, would I have to send in a new file for my AHL game on Tuesday, as long as my CPHL team is not playing on the Tuesday?)

JiriHrdina · 10-13-2010, 10:17 AM

^You would have to use the "copy lines" function to copy the farm lines in to the next day. We are discussing whether to allow use of that feature.

I think this is the key here. Hesla, if you can't get lines in for the weekend just let us know and the lines will be auto'd.
