With the release of the new ratings, it's that time of the year for you to challenge the ratings you disagree with.
The whole process has changed a bit, as we the admin team are bringing to you a new look rating challenge system.
Here's how the system works. Each Conference has two Ratings Challenge markers. But it's working more like an actual court room judgment, as opposed to more of the appeal that it has been in years past. One Conference marker will serve as the person you will send your challenges into. He will then rebuttal your challenge. Both your challenge and his rebuttal will then be sent to the other Conference marker who will look at the evidence from both sides and make a ruling based on this. We've developed this process in order to make the ratings challenge ruling slightly more consistent and more democratic.
So here are your instructions:
Each team is going to get a maximum of 6 ratings challenges on a maximum of 5 players. OV can not be challenged. Also, teams will get an additional 3 challenges to challenge DU and ONLY DU. There were some slight problems with our DU calculation and its consistency so we are going to allow you to challenge 3 DU ratings on top of your max 6 others.
Please make your ratings challenges well researched and worthwhile. I can tell you right now one challenge basis that will NOT work. If you compare a players rating this year to last year and claim by that merit, said player's rating should increase, your rating will not be successful. The ratings this year were compiled using completely new formulas and can no way be compared to last season's or any previous season's ratings. A successful ratings challenge is likely to be built around stats or scouting reports.
Your ratings challenge submission format should appear as follows"
Email Title: "HFNHL Ratings Challenge - Team Name"
1. Player Name
2. Rating being challenged
3. Current Rating
4. Suggested Rating
5. Reasoning or Argument for challenge (aka your proof)
The submission deadline for these challenges is going to be next Wednesday, November 26 at 11:59pm
