NOTIFICATION - 2013-14 Rating Challenges Submission Info

[Canuck09]

Here's a reminder on how the system works. One Ratings Challenge 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 Final judge who will look at the evidence from both sides and make a ruling based on this, with the process working more like an actual court room judgment. We've developed this process in order to make the ratings challenge ruling slightly more consistent and more democratic. This year we have three Ratings Challenge markers and one Final judge that will rule on every challenge except his own.

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, except for goaltenders. Goaltender ratings will be challenged by OV only (basically you would suggest an overall percentage increase of all ratings or which OV rating or goalie your goalie should rate like).

Please make sure your ratings challenges are well researched and worthwhile. 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 Saturday, October 19th at 11:59pm PST.

Please see the below list to figure out who you will be sending your challenges to.

Would it be possible to move the deadline to the 20th, this allows teams to prepare the challenges over the weekend?

We'll extend it to end of day Saturday the 19th, 11:59PM PST. As much as people will need time to prepare, the judges will need more time to review everyone elses submissions and would benefit from at least part of a weekend as well. The longer we extend these things the longer until the season can start!

OV can not be challenged, except for goaltenders. Goaltender ratings will be challenged by OV only (basically you would suggest an overall percentage increase of all ratings or which OV rating or goalie your goalie should rate like).

Any questions, feel free to post them in this thread.

There will be a change to the goalie challenges from last year. The process was a bit of a mess last year. This year the goalie challenges will be on the ranking that the skill ratings (SK, AG, RB, SC, HS, RT and PH) are based on. Instead of making a challenge on the OV rating, the challenge should be made on the position in the ranking. The other 6 ratings (DU, EN, SZ, PS, EX and LD) can be challenged like normal skater ratings.

The ranking is based on the following stats from the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons with 50-50 weight on the seasons: SV%, GAA, SO, Vezina votes, Wins and Minutes played.
The goalies have been ranked in each of the stats above for an average ranking. Team defense has also been taken in to account, using total shots against for the teams the goalies played on.

Every position in the ranking equals an average 0,5 points in the skill ratings.
