FHL News - August 13th, 2023

ANNOUNCING A CHANGING OF THE GUARD

Kenku, aka William Swiftfoot has decided to take a step back from being a Commissioner. His last official act as Commissioner will be to announce the beginning of Season 12. At this time he is retaining his GM duties and his skater will remain in the League.

WELCOMING TWO NEW COMMISSIONERS

With the above retirement, the Commissioners are excited to announce the return of a previous commissioner and the addition of a new one. Pheagle has been selected to return, with the primary focus of tracking the standings, and will also take part in other normal voting duties and responsibilities. Ace (CheesecakeRemix on Discord) has also been selected as a new Commissioner for his work in tracking the stats while the website has been undergoing some long term maintenance (more on that in a moment!); he will continue to track the stats for the interim and also take part in other normal voting duties and responsibilities. The Commissioner group will now consist of 4, including existing Commissioners Bluefire and Karl.

WEBSITE UPDATES AND MAINTENANCE

We know that many of you have been wondering, “WHERE THE HECK IS BLUEFIRE?!?!!1!”

Well, we are happy to report that he is back in the saddle working on updates to the website. It will be some time yet before the stats, scores and standings are caught up, but he is hard at work rewriting much of the back-end code from scratch to improve efficiency and design, and more importantly, add needed functionality for mobile devices so that the website will be viewable no matter what screen you’re using. Stay tuned for updates, a beta link will be posted soon for everyone to check out!

OFFSEASON

Updates will be coming soon with regard to EXP Spending Season and more, but for the moment we’re taking a needed break to get some vacations and other life events out of the way. Stay tuned for more!

Here are your results for Draft Round 5

For clarification purposes, no team can have more than 2 goalies on a team, and to make sure all teams are able to field a full squad, no team can draft more than 10 skaters unless all teams have 10 skaters. Teams can also elect to pass on a secondary goalie (As there isn't enough to field for every team and some prefer 1 goalie) and thus teams may pass at 10 skaters and 1 Goalie.

CLOSING OF XP SEASON

As of October 20th, the Player XP Season has been closed. Players who submitted improvements or reductions were adjusted as such, and players who did not, were adjusted based on GM or Commissioner Guidelines.

A summary of statistical adjustments are available at the link below:

PLAYER RETENTION PERIOD

With player points set for the upcoming season, the commission has calculated out the Retention Cap for Season 11, and have come up with a Cap of 185 growth points. Over the next week, teams will be given their teams numbers and must choose to keep either 4 players or a number of players whos Career Growth Points equal to less than the Cap.

Teams will have until Saturday November 10th to submit team retentions.

SEASON 11 PLAYER DRAFT

Once Retention is set, we will go into the Season 11 Player Draft, to start on Tuesday November 15th. During the draft, teams will draft from both released players and rookies as players are picked up for new or old teams for the Season. The draft will take six rounds and free agency and will be completed over a 2 Week period (with possible breaks for Thanksgiving). Once completed, teams will be ready for next season.

BEGINNING OF SEASON

OPENING OF XP SEASON

As we continue with the off-season, it is time for the teams and players to spend what they have earned through the year in XP.

To see what XP a player has earned check at the link below, and search for your player.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet.....gid=2053490725

Calculations for available GP earned by players are also available in a tab on the page.

Please note, if in looking up your player you see a negative balance, that means due to player age they are in XP Debt and will need to contact the commissioners about where to take back points.

Once you’ve determined what you want to purchase, please fill out the form at the link below:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bZ.....7fN4eoSws/edit

All spending must be completed by Tuesday October 18th. Any player who has not submitted a spending will have their points spent by the players GM or by a Commissioners default ruleset.

RETENSION, DRAFTING, AND START OF SEASON

Once the XP Season has ended, the Commissionser will take some time to calculate the Career Growth Point Cap for the year, and then we will enter the Retention Season. During the Retention season, teams will determine which players will be kept for the next season based on player or Growth Point Caps, and which who will not and will be released to Season 11 Draft. Retention is expected to run for a week and will occur early November.

Once Retention has been completed, the remaining players will be sent to join any new rookies to the Season 11 Draft, and over a period of a Week and 6 expected rounds, teams will select players to join their team for the season. The Draft will be completed expected late November.

With the Draft complete, the Season should soon begin, and we are expecting start of season at this time in Late November/Early December.

RETENTION COMPLETED

With the close of the Retention Period, all teams have submitted and completed their Retention Lists for the Season. Played restrained by teams are listed below:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet.....tjc/edit#gid=0

SEASON 10 DRAFT

With Retention completed, the League is ready to begin this Season’s Draft. The Draft will start Sunday, November 7th, at 6:20 Eastern Standard Time, and will occur over 6 rounds running over a period of 8 days. During this, teams will have the ability to select from available free agents and rookies as the teams work to set them for the year.

Information on Season 10 Draft is available here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet.....t#gid=80879867

PRE-DRAFT TRADE NEWS

Soon after the completion of the Retention Period, a trade came across the wire. The Salt Lake City Killer Bees has sent Defensive Star Skylar Ward to the Newfoundland Beothuks for Lee, and a 2nd and a 3rd round pick in the S10 FHL Draft.

PLAYER RETIREMENTS

The Commission would like to announce these players have elected to retire for the year:
Shane LaFluer
Paul Shepherd
Teague Luxton
Mateo Rivera

We wish them good luck in their ventures.

GM RETIREMENT, POSSIBLE OPENING

Over the Autumn, Clyde Ull had announced that he is stepping down as GM of the Memphis Blue Kings, and thus the team is currently under Commissioner Supervision. While we believe we may have someone who wishes to take over the team, this does not seem to be guaranteed, and thus the league is looking to see if there is any other GM interest for it or perhaps for future endeavours.

If anyone would be interested in the position, or perhaps to work as an assistant, please contact the commission and we can work with you to get set.
