Gibson - you've misunderstood the rule regarding changing of attributes when you've lost a game. I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear (I'm often not!).

If you lose a game then you are allowed to alter the attributes of up to three players in your team. For each player you can move upto three attribute points from one or more skills to different skills. You cannot move attributes between players, however.

For example, if I had a player called Wayne Gretzky and he had the following stats: 8 8 12 12. I could move a total of three attribute points a reassign them to different skills. So I could take 1 point off his checking and 2 points off his passing and then move these 3 points to scoring so his stats would now be 7 8 10 15. Note how he still has the same total number of attribute points (i.e. 40 pts).

You can do this for up to three players in your team every time you lose. The idea behind this is that you can fine tune your players to give you a better chance of winning.

Round 3
......... HAR v WIN .........
......... MTL v QBC .........
......... MIN v CHI .........

Please post your mentalities for the first round of games. If a player has not posted their mentality by Friday 25 April 8am UK Time (9am CET / 3am EST / 12am PST) then their team captain can post the mentality on their behalf. If a player hasn't had a mentality set by the time I play the games, they will be set to 'balanced'.

The games should take place some time this weekend - probably Sunday.

Up-to-date rosters are available in the General Discussion Thread.


TWO NOTES FOR TEAM CAPTAINS:
* If a team loses a game, the Team Captain is allowed to alter the attributes of up to three players on his team (including himself). For each of the three players, he can move up to two attribute points from one or two skills to one or two other skills. Attributes cannot be moved between players. Teams may want to discuss how they move attributes, but the Team Captain has the final say. If you wish to make any changes then PLEASE POST THEM IN THIS THREAD. If you want to discuss potential changes with your teammates, use the General Discussion thread.

* If any of your teammates did not post a mentality for the previous game, the Team Captain may set their mentality this time around (you don't have to wait until the Thursday deadline to post for these players).[/quote]

Oh, very sorry, I thought you have extra two attribute points to distribute. Now I got it :).

It doesn't matter anyway, we won, I scored two goals, no problems this week :) Expect my mentalities again in Friday.
