Voting for Challenge 12 Team!

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 4:36 pm

Okay, it's time to choose our team for Challenge 12. We'll be using the Lidas 1.1 update (unless he sneaks out another update before we start and if he does, we'll announce it in the rules) for the challenge. If you want to participate in the challenge you MUST use this update.

This time you have a choice between 2 different NHL teams, 2 AHL teams, and 2 ECHL teams. We're going to hold off on using another Canadian junior team until some of the drafted players are added. Here is the catch... the AHL and ECHL teams will be played straight. No special rules. Just log your stats like you normally would. For the NHL, we're simplifying our old rules. We're dropping the "core" and "NTNB" but we've got a few new rules. I'm going to make another post in the challenge forum giving a basic rundown of these rules for the NHL. If an NHL team is the one used for this challenge, we'll edit that post to be more detailed. Any questions about these rules should go in the Challenge Questions and Feedback post, also found in the Challenge forum. Please make sure to read these rules before voting.

So cast your vote for the next challenge! Please don't vote if you have no plans on actually participating.

How long is the voting open?

We have set the poll for 2 weeks, but we may close it after 10 days....

Do the ECHL teams have NHL/AHL affiliations? I haven't messed with Lidas' rosters.

Post by **batdad** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:20 pm

Yes they do, and the affiliations are easy to spot.

The affiliations are what's going to make them interesting.

I look forward to actually participating this time.

I'm currently using the default db (will download Lidas shortly), and there is no affiliation for Utah. Is this something Lidas has changed?

Post by **batdad** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:59 pm

Guess so, as they are the Isles ECHL affil in Lidas 1.1

I want to try the new rules. And I vote for the flying fish-sticks as they seem a real challenge. Not only are they a naff team, they've got some injuries as well.

It's beginning to look like a two horse race. If this one stays close, will there be a run-off vote for the final team selection?

Post by **batdad** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:44 pm

Nope...winner take all

Of course, in the highly unlikely event of a tie... then we might have to do a vote between the two.

well I just hope it gets to be an NHL team... and preferably then Nashville

harmonica · Post by **harmonica** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 9:17 pm

The Isles almost have 50% of the votes.

It is beginning to look like the Gorton's Fisherman is going to win the day. They'll be quite a challenge with DiPietro on the shelf for so long.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 2:51 pm

DiPietro, Witt, Martinek, and Sillinger are all on the IR for multiple months at the start of the game.

I ain't related to you. Even if I was i Would not admit it unless you could beat me in a challenge. Which you can't, so...

The Islanders are just so brutal, I don't think I could handle it.....

Grizzlies all the way!

By this we mean that we are going to mark down who voted (not who they voted for) and see if these people actually played the challenge.

Okay, I'm closing the poll and locking this post. The New York Islanders will be the team we use for Challenge 12. Keep an eye out for an announcement soon. DO NOT start the challenge yet because the rules have been changed up and not all of them were included in that preview post.
