Each team is going to get a maximum of 4 ratings challenges on a maximum of 3 players. OV can not be challenged. Goalie challenges will be somewhat complicated. You can either challenge the skill ratings (SK, AG, RB, SC, HS, RT and PH) as a group. Otherwise, the other 6 goaltender ratings (DU, EN, SZ, PS, EX and LD) can be challenged like normal skater ratings.
There will also be a maximum increase of 8 points that you can ask for (to keep the integrity of the ratings package). So for example, if you want to challenge your player's 65 DF, the maximum that you can ask for is a 73 DF.
Please make sure your ratings challenges are well researched and worthwhile. A successful ratings challenge is likely to be built around stats, scouting reports, or well researched player comparisons. Comparing ratings to previous year's ratings packages isn't likely to get you a successful challenge.
As a reminder, here is the breakdown of what statistics were used to put together this year's ratings.

b. FG – Height, Weight, Fights, Hits/Game

Email Title: "HFNHL Ratings Challenge - Team Name"

The submission deadline for these challenges is going to be Sunday, October 25 at 11:59pm EST.
All challenges will initially be sent to me (at [email protected]). I will serve as the rebuttal man (in our classic format).
Then I will be forwarding both your challenge and my response over to Matthew Kershaw and he will provide a final ruling based on the arguments for and against.
A 3rd party (Sean Keogh) will be providing the final ruling on Matthew and I's ratings challenges.
Any questions, feel free to post them in this thread.
