Can someone explain the purpose of this rule?

2/3 of every TC roster in the AHL is prospect players, AND prospect players are also the MOST active players on any teams training camp GUARAN-FUCKING-TEED simply because they're new and they want to play and experience this league where as RVs don't care about being ECUd, it's not their team that's playing (have had this case multiple times in all my seasons of management) so why on earth is THIS:

As per Article Three, Section 3.4.6, Prospect players are INELIGIBLE for IR and ECU during the playoffs.

a fucking rule in playoffs? This rule should be re-written as "hey you know that one guy that has been real reliable and is new to the league and shows up whenever you call his name and you're in a pickle? Yeah he's a P cant use him hopefully one of your 5 RV's happen to be online and in a nice mood."

Now if it was just this rule that I found utterly fucking I'd simmer down and say whatever, but it seems every season I find a new useless as tits on a nun rule that makes absolutely zero sense, or a rule that held shit together (FOR EXAMPLE THE YOU CAN'T CLAIM A GUY THEN WAIVE HIM WITHOUT HIM PLAYING RULE THAT CAUSED THE AHL TO BE A FUCKING SHIT SHOW WITH WAIVERS THIS SEASON) got removed for literally no reason.

If we're aiming to make prospects useless, congratulations you've now COMPLETELY succeeded in that regard, hats off to whoever thought this rule or approach to P's was a good idea. Kinda hard for new names to show up and move up if they can't play for the AHL management (which has very few changes season to season might I add, so there's that too.)

The only thing VHL will always have on this site no matter how dead it is now that will never change is the rules. VHL kept it simple, now you're just getting WAY to fucking complex about shit and nit-picking and writing rules that don't even need to be thought about. We're here to have fucking fun, stop taking out the good shit and throwing in unnecessary shit that takes it away.

 

And you can try and delete or lock this, I'll copy paste this bitch as much as I need to to get the damn point across. When your staff doesn't even know that rule is a rule, you have a fucking problem.

[03:56 AM] MadeOfTwoFaces : I can see it now "1 game suspension if your team scores more than 6 goals if the other team has a prospect being ECU'd, discourages them from playing."

New rule for next season, there saved you guys time from having to think up another rule to throw in the book.

 

Holy batman.













So who has my ointment?

 

It may be to stop random late sign ups being such an impact in playoffs. Also second tags.

 

The ONLY way that this can ever apply to second tags is if A) someone doesn't show up anyways and an ECU has to be used, and god knows the odds of one of those five guys whos team has already been knocked out are probably not going to be online or willing to play or B) someone voluntarily gives up their game for that person, in which case they would be just as likely to share their account anyways so this rule stops fuck all.

If anything, the rule sets up Texas 2.0 to happen. If a guy cant make it to 1 out of the first 4 and he's open to it, get him to account share with someone. There's only so much you can prove with a mic-check.

 

Actually, the more I think about, it has to be to stop second tags. The AHL has nothing but a bad history with second tags from prospect players in playoffs. Texas Stars S17 left a bad taste in the leagues mouth. So this rule is pretty justified. Then again, it does blow

 

Read the 2nd part of my post i editted in. This just sets it up if someone has bad availability, and someone isn't going to give up a game every round to a 2nd tag, and if they do its extremely fucking noticeable. You don't think that if a team say, ECU'd Dingo Jones for MadeOfTwoFaces every round that nobody would notice?

Teams training camps are literally ALL prospects. for every 4-5 prospects, there is one RV. I want someone, preferably whoever wrote this dumb rule, to come explain why prospects are even placed on AHL teams anymore.

For safe measure to get a swift response, someone tag all the staff I can't be bothered to look them all up to let them know how stupid they are (except you tiddus, luv u [unless you had something to do with this rule being made you fuck])

Nice to see you guys get fucked out of a win after fucking the marlies out of a win because the guy didn't have a temporary replace arrow next to his name .

 

1. Regular season game
2. The guy was claimed off waivers, not called up.
3. That was Hartford.

Bless you.

 

he had 4 prospect goalies who blew ass he needed someone . same situation 1 team loses and finds a dumb reason to overturn it .

 

P's not being able to be IR'd in the regular season is also a stupid fucking rules, it's 3 games. Whoever made all these prospect rules clearly wasn't thinking too much.

im not upset Norfolk reported it, I would have, more than anything in rattled the series is basically over because the staff keeps adding rules and changing things that don't need to be changed because someone they caught and banned hurt their feelings and boning teams because they didn't get the right position randomly assigned, it's fucking stupid and clearly we need a different person or group to decide on the rules.

 

Shots Fired!!

I see what you did there.

 

I agree, the rule is dumb as shit, but it is what it is. Hell, Springfield used 2 prospects last series against but you didn't see us crying about it.

 

[MENTION=10264]Cronksy[/MENTION] please play Game 6 so I can play against you. I beg you!

Bad part is that we had a vet player in the party and he refused to play. [MENTION=8722]xBigStickNick[/MENTION]
