Thanks.
Brevity is not my strong suit!
I have to say, that is incredibly complicated on the surface, but with how you explained it makes it so very simple. Well done & thanks!

Well written P7! As GoNucks said, seems complicated on the surface but you broke it down into plain language that is easily understood.
May I suggest you enter the above description (as written) into our league rules of fair play in a stand alone section?
One final note - as we are half way through our first year, I have to say this league is, hands down, the best I've ever been in. There are not enough words to thank Penguin who organized the league and his co-commissioners that keep our league running smoothly, day in and day out. But a league is only as strong as it's GM's - my guess is the WHL is right up there with the best leagues anywhere and our GM's are the most classy and dedicated bunch you could find.

I agree with the others, well written summary. Also, how in the hell are we halfway through the 1st season...I guess time flies when you're in the middle of a losing skid...
Definitely the most competitive league I've been part of.

Six weeks left.
We'll see if any of the 9th-16th teams can make a run at upper-tier to qualify for the $250 Great White Hoser Championship Tournament!!!
Weird stat. In the first few weeks of the season, I was middle of the pack in points for, but had the second most points against. I think I was 3-8 or something. The last few weeks, I've been scoring less, but so have my opponents. I've gone something like 5-1, and that one loss was the all-star shortened week last week when I lost by 0.08 points.
It's been a pretty weird season for my squad, that's for sure. At one point I think I had all my injury spots used, plus another two injured players that had to sit on my bench.
Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.
12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.
League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.
We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.
Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid
I'd be in the playoffs if I had just predicted Lack would shutout the Blackhawks. Because that makes sense.
My suggestion re: Whalers
I think it would be best to adjust lineups retroactively from the time he was absent, then set future lineups weekly (set for all days in the week at the beginning of the week, not managed daily). In both cases the important thing is that active players are in the lineup. This is the most fair to the teams that have already played the Whalers, and will best ensure that this situation doesn't effect the standings in a way that would be unfair to any GM.
Please post in WHL forum.
(btw. Retroactive? I'm not sure that's a good idea. 1. How do we hand select who should have been in his line-up? 2. This could quite possibly change the result of past match-ups!!! (in which case an opposing GM might argue, fairly so, that he could've managed his team differently if a match was tighter.))
btw - I'll make a generic post here.
As it happened in one of my other leagues, it's an issue that surely other GMs/commissioners have also had to deal with before.
Alright, fair enough. Perhaps I didn't think the retroactive thing through.
Looking forward to seeing what opinions come up in the generic post. Thanks for your attention to detail and dedication to making this league fair and fun Pengwin7, it really makes a big difference.
Thanks to you too.
I'm really happy that so many WHL GMs bring up their issues when they see them.
Right or wrong... putting a discussion into motion helps us improve the league by encouraging other GMs to share their best thoughts.

In the WHL, anybody that finishes runner-up in their bracket will jump one spot for their lottery position...
Anybody winning their bracket will jump two spots for their lottery position.
Nothing like an extra couple % at landing Mr.Matthews!!
