SIMNET2

First, just want to let you know as the pre season starts today, we expect all GMs to be back full time and answer ALL messages within 48 hours.

We don't have mind GMs not being really around during down time, but if you're not active when you have to be, you'll be replaced, plain and simple.

About the new league.

I'm loading a second portal at

http://simnet2.nhl-sim.net/

to create a 2nd league. 

This is not our league starting from scratch again, it's a complete new league with different rules.  It's ready to be loaded go but my knowledge is limited in web hosting, I'll need from Matt to have it operational.  As soon as it's up and everything is loaded I'll have an idea of when we can start this.... oh... and yes, we will need 30 GMs to begin with ;-) So I'm hoping to get at least 20 GMs from this league to give it a go.

Rules and format are not defined yet but it'd be something close to the following:

NHL only / 35-40 player roster

2 seasons per year with short off seasons

1 entry draft per year, so draft picks for season 2, 4, 6, etc would NOT be used.

2 free agency periods per year, one for each season (UFA/RFA players, new players after rerates and unprotected players).

season 1, we use the rerates; season 2, same rates but each manager can ask the league to rerate up to 4 of the players based on current NHL Performance.

Max contract length 3 years.  (by the way, this will be the case in Simnet1 as well starting July 2017).

We would draft about 30 players each, snake draft format ( round 1; from 1 to 31, round 2; from 31 to 1, etc)

Why 31?  Vegas would join the league right away, I don't want GMs drafting according to a building plan and lose their players in June via an expansion draft so Vegas will draft a team as well now.

Im still not sure about the trade committee but one thing for sure we won't make the same mistakes as we did with Simnet1 and let GMs destroy their team and leave.

That's the big picture for now...

Reply to this email if interested, ask questions if you have any...

you wouldn't get the same team as you currently have in Simnet1

Don't apply for a team if you're not 100% sure about this.
