*Important Changes for HLS ERA 5*


1. NHL PERFORMANCE UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE SYSTEM [OVERALL CHANGE]

The system will remain the same with one slight overall change. We will be using a LEAP SYSTEM.

Players must perform at least TWO OVERALLS HIGHER than his CURRENT OA in order to get +1 

Players must perform at least THREE OVERALLS HIGHER than his CURRENT OA in order to get +2 

Players must perform at least FOUR OVERALLS HIGHER than his CURRENT OA in order to get +3 

Ex.

i) "C Cool Kid PLY 86" must perform at the rate of an 88 OA in order to receive a +1 Upgrade to 87 OA

PLY - 88 OA produces [52 A] -> [55 A] *OR* [75 PTS] -> [80 PTS]


ii) "LD Cool Kid TWD 86" must perform at the rate of an 89 OA in order to receive a +2 Upgrade to 88 OA

TWD - 89 OA produces [137 BLKS] -> [142 BLKS] *OR* [52 PTS] -> [55 PTS]


iii) "G Cool Kid HYB 84" must perform at the rate of an 88 OA in order to receive a +3 Upgrade to 87 OA

G - 88 OA produces [0.914%] -> [0.915%] *OR* [3.05 GAA] ->[2.96 GAA]

Players must perform at least THREE OVERALLS LOWER than his CURRENT OA in order to get -2

4) TRADE MODERATORS

ADMINS & GLOBAL MODERATORS will be the ONLY members able to vote on TRADES

- 5 ACCEPTS or 5 REJECTS will be the amount of votes needed in order for a TRADE to be FINAL



5) PLAYERREP criteria for NTC/NMC

There are a lot of players that currently have NTC/NMC and we don't want that to hinder GMs from acquiring a player, so there will be a simple criteria set so GMs are well aware if a player will waive or not before negotiating a TRADE

A) Players aged 27> will ALWAYS waive their NTC/NMC in ANY TRADE to ANY TEAM

B) PLAYERS aged 28->31 will ONLY waive their NTC/NMC to TEAMS that are HIGHER IN STANDINGS at the time of the TRADE

C) PLAYERS aged 32+ will ONLY waive their NTC/NMC to PLAYOFF TEAMS at the time of the TRADE

D) WAIVERS - Players with NMC aged 28> will NOT waive their NMC for a BUY-OUT

E) WAIVERS - Players with NMC aged 29+ will ONLY waive their NMC for BUY-OUT *IF* there is 3 YEARS or LESS remaining on their current contract
