FNP INFORMATION

LG FNP is a one-night league event that gets the community to come together and play some chel on a dead night for LG. Community members play some competitive and fun Friday Night chel on NHL 20.

This event is only restricted to players who are on an NHL Roster, AHL Roster, CHL Roster, or CHL Training Camp.

At the conclusion of each event, a thread will go up and run until Tuesday 6:00 PM ET to help decide the next weekend’s event.

The event can be any of the following types:

• 3’s or 6’s Club Invitational
• 3’s or 6’s Draft Selections
• Arcade Threes
• Restricted Positions
• Larger Events
• Double Elimination

Once the event for the weekend has been decided, a captain signup thread will be posted sometime around Thursday at Noon. If a user is interested in running a team, they will post in the thread. Captain signups will reset every week on Thursday.

Players will be required to play the position they signed up for the event. The means the following:

• Forwards can only play Forward (Left Wing, Center, Right Wing)
• Defensemen can only play Defense (Left Defense, Right Defense)
• Goalies can only play Goalie

If the event is running as a Club Invitational, there will be no position lock. Only Draft Selection events will be run as position lock.

Once the draft order has been set, the teams will be randomized once again to determine the order of the bracket. The bracket seeds will have the AWAY on the left and the HOME on the right. The order will be announced in the site PM or Discord.
