    Season 15 Rules
    Official Rules to be updated. Season 14 Rules - http://www.leaguegaming.com/forums/s...2082-Rule-Book


    "Scouting"
    To be scouted by 8 teams, means that 8 teams need to acknowledge they know your playing ability and can assess it fairly and consider if and where they would want to draft you.

    Acceptable scouting techniques:

    • Playing in a planned/schedule scouting game (1 or more)
    • Having played with or against a person on a regular bases in another league
    • Have played with or against a player regularly in club or other EASHL situation such as OTP

    *Owners who mark a player as scouted are testifying that they know the player's ability and can determine their value in the league. Any owner(s) found marking players as a favor or unjust reasons may be subject to league discipline.

    Sign Up information:

    • By signing up you are agreeing to the rules put in place and any future changes while you are playing here. It is the player's responsibility to read and know the rules.
    • You agree to make every effort possible to become NHL eligible, this includes participating in AHL games, scouting games prior to the season or understand you are subject to league procedures in earning rights to be eligible to play
    • Positions will be locked, make sure you select the primary position you wish to play. Once we draft you will be stuck at it until the next season.

    Do playoff games count towards the draft eligibility?

    Mandatory scouting with 8 teams is ridiculous.

    no it's not...and the harder thing about it is owners DON'T have to scout....it's all voluntary. Players can do it and earn a spot in the NHL or come up through the AHL system (more details later).

    Remember, this is for new sign ups, not returning players or AHL players who meet the needed requirements.

    PS: I'll update and explain "scouting" in the OP

    If the stipulations are that the 8 games are only required from those who are considered rookies and have not been a part of 12 LGHL games in the prior season, then I take back my prior statement.

    Although I am 100% bias, I think 12 games may be a bit much for 2 main reasons.

    What if a guy who went 4-0 in the regular season leads his team to a Stanley Cup and wins the Conn Smythe. He would still have to do the 8 scouting games just to be eligible to be drafted (because in the last week, how many AHL games have taken place? 2?). Seems a bit silly that a potential Conn Smythe winner would have to go through that.

    I also know of many players who signed up before me and have NHL star abilities who only have a couple of games played and it is not due to availability, It is because it seems to be nearly impossible to get AHL games in.

    No offense to them but players need to be held accountable too. If I can jump into AHL to help players get games played then maybe players can make the same sacrifices.
    - If they are too busy to get into games then they wont be active enough for the league & owners wont want them.
    - If they are too good to play in the AHL and follow the system maybe they are too good to play in our league

    I've heard the song many times over the past 5 years and it's always one excuse or another...BUT as for your scenario of "8" games in a specific situations, don't be discourage, we will be handling them on a case by case situation if & when they happen.

    NOTE: UPDATED OP with "Scouting"

    12 games are not nearly as difficult as one might think. Even if you dont get drafted, there is a lot of shifting at the start of seasons and you might get called up quickly.

    umm no, if you do not become NHL draft eligible you won't be call up eligible either. Such players will only be allowed for ECU use in the NHL.

    People were removed this year who were "drafted" and "Draft Eligible," so does this mean if you join late and there's an empty spot on a roster you couldn't be called up? This seems very flawed in my opinion. That would seem like a penalty to the team removing a player if you had no "eligible" permanent call ups.

    If a player is eligible then they can be called up.

    People need to stop being so negative. I am correcting bad information when it's written. What Atomic wrote is wrong. You are and have been negative and I'll ask you to stop until you at least see the full information and structure. If you feel after reading it that you have issues then you can state your concerns.

    We are trying to build up our next season and you need stop posting a negative attitude. Asking a question or for more clarification is enough, saying its flawed just because you don't know all the details is just ignorant.
