HFNHL Endorsements 2021/22

[Brock]

Endorsements give HFNHL teams the chance to earn supplemental revenues. They are free to sign up for. That means that EVERY team should have a full suite of four (4) endorsements (see below). ***Failure to participate in endorsements going forward therefore represents a strike against the GM, to be handled by the Commissioner using regular disciplinary actions.***


Commitment and Risk


You are limited in the number of endorsements you can sign up for, so if you don’t choose carefully you may be leaving revenues on the table.

***For endorsements requiring a player or team to qualify in the top 5 in the league, ties for 5th will be accepted.***


Submissions & Payout

Each General Manager will be required to submit their Endorsement commitments by the submission deadline (typically within a few days before or after the start of the regular season). At the end of the season, each General Manager who qualifies for any of their Endorsement Deals must submit a detailed account of which obligations were met, and the statistical proof of the achievement.

The deadline for submission of endorsements is Tuesday, December 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Please post a response with the team name and the endorsement(s) you would like to participate in.

Just as last year: Team and Merchandise Endorsements have been merged. Teams may now take one (1) Team/Merchandise endorsement, and two (2) Individual Endorsements.
