Something that's useful for the commissioner of the RSL where attendance is more of a problem, is the use of a Forefeit thread. Whenever a team collects a forefeit win, they need to post photographic evidence that shows who was online. This verifies their win - that they had enough players online themselves, and it helps the league commish track which teams are regularly forefeiting, and might need some GM guidance/replacement.

This could be kept sticky in a special subreddit that's private for RSL GM's. A subreddit like that is also a good place to get the GM's input, and easily vote on BoG issues (since there isn't currently a board of governors)

With the contentious decision made on the BKN-CHI complaint, it seems like a good time to look over the wording on the rule for player substitutions:

Player Substitutions - Players may substitute in and out at any point during the game provided that their substitution does not directly impact the current play of the puck. Violations of this would include dropping on a breakaway, dropping in on a faceoff, etc. Punishments for these actions will be handled on a case by case basis by the LHL executives.

"In the second period of the BKN - CHI, Dyal scored to put CHI up 3-1. I was skating through the neutral zone and Mat or Dopey (not sure which) joined the game. I'll say it now, he doesn't actually hit me, but it did surprise me and catch me off guard.

I think the best angle of this is here. The best time to start, I think, is 10:10. From my angle in game I thought he was going to hit me and I said something in ts about it.

The exact rule on subs is:

Player Substitutions - Players may substitute in and out at any point during the game provided that their substitution does not directly impact the current play of the puck. Violations of

In the thread linked here Giroux claimed he was bullied a bit by PK.

Evidence pic

In a perfect world, I'd like to see his complaint coming directly to the PA through the complaint form, where this complaint would be submitted by Giroux, with his evidence pic, and the PA would collect it and discuss it and come to a decision. If they felt a suspension from PK was warranted, they could present it to the commish who would either uphold the complaint, or deny it.

The PA

When a GM wants to drop a player from his roster, he should need a reason.

Has the guy missed a number of games? does he have proof? If it's an attendance issue, no problem. Submit some proof he's missed a number of games, and he's removed.

If it's a detriment to the team, that's the GM's fault for making that player a regular roster player. Players should have certain rights outlined in the constitution, that the PA stands up for. Even guys who are bad at the game, once they're invited to the regular roster of a team gain the right to stay as long as they keep showing up. If the GM doesn't like them, he either needs to trade them or find a way to drop them through inactivity, also as def

This is an ongoing form of my idea on how player contracts could be implemented in the LHL/RSL. It sets a standard for team ownership of player rights, creates prestige for the LHL, and attempts to handle some of the issues with LHL/RSL call-ups.

Much of the basis for this can be found in Article V - Rosters and Transactions, particularly Section 5.

If you guys can come to a consensus and think you might want to implement this for next season, I can make a quick youtube video explaining it all a little quicker and simpler.

If we're moving towards a bidding system for next season, we should really try to stop people from trading draft picks.

One option might be to give some cap space in exchange for draft picks...or the constitution might have an allowance for an entry draft where they could be used.

Just a thought I had off the top of my head, why not delay the RSL pre-season by a week so it's slightly behind the LHL?

This gives a proper pre-season for the LHL, where they can try out players and be able to freely swap them before the RSL starts?

SAMPLE POST

Marchy got blacklisted for not showing up to 3 games, but he didn't even know he was scheduled to play. He said the first time his GM talked to him was to tell him he was blacklisted.

SAMPLE POST

Post the player name, along with evidence to support your blacklist.

You can only blacklist for:

• Missing 3 games (3 strikes) without warning
• A message on teamspeak or reddit from the player stating his/her intention not to play anymore

Post in the following format:
Team: xxxxx
Player: xxxxx
Reason: Missed 3 games. game 1, 2, 3.

[Commish] Hey season 5 GM's, just starting a thread to make sure everyone's ready and able to access this subreddit.

As GM's, I expect you to check around here regularly and contribute to discussion. This is your best place to go to have your voice heard on how you'd want to see the league run. Any important updates for you guys will also be posted here. I expect you guys to be checking back to this subreddit at least once a week.

Every GM, please post in this thread to check-in.

Why the hell can we only play a goalie 2 times/week? Allen's on every night, the dude wants to play, but the fucking rules say I can't play him tonight or I forfeit the game?? wtf is this shit?!
