Gentlemen,
In the wake of numerous compelling arguments, it has been decided that the minimum OV requirement for the 2005-06 season will be 68OV.
There were many reasons for this decision, many of which have already been discussed on the boards. In the end, an additional concern was that an OV requirement of 70 could force teams into making bad trades solely for the sake of compliance, which would run counter to the spirit of the OV rule.
I know that a few of you may be annoyed with this decision, but I ask that you understand that it was made with a great deal of hesitation. Certainly, this isn't an absolutely ideal solution, but it is one that is practical and expedient. Moreover, this decision should only minimally impact most HFNHL franchises. I, for one, just look forward to playing the games.
One final note of clarification - 67.5 equals 68. 67.4 does not. I'm a big fan of using the 5/4 rule for rounding.
Sincerely,
Matt Gledhill
HFNHL Commissioner
