Project NHL 36 v2.2 and xECK29x Premier Pivot Rosters v2.1

For the benefit of those who do not frequent the Game Addons and Rosters Forum, it is great to see two alternatives to the TBL Rosters appear and to be continually updated. It is worth noting that both of BKarchitect and xECK29x have been putting in a lot of work into their updates and they are well worth checking out. Here’s a brief summary of their rosters: Project NHL 36 v2.2Link: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18491&p=232712#p232710 The database intends to allow users to play out the ultimate NHL expansion fantasy with 36 teams in the NHL whilst maintaining an 82 game schedule template (for both...

Minor forum re-organisation

Following the release of TBL Rosters v10.0, I have taken the opportunity to re-organise the forums a little. The main change is that there is now a dedicated forum for the TBL Rosters which has been split out from the Game Addons Forum. I have also made the following changes: The DMHNL forums have been removed following the disbanding of the league. Some of the posts have been moved to the EHM Online Forum whilst others (such as trades) have been deleted; The FHM Downloads Forum has been merged into the FHM Forum; and The Dabo forums have been merged...

TBL Rosters v10.0 Released

We are delighted to announce the release of our first roster update of 2017/18! A massive thank you to Manimal and all of the researchers that have helped it with the mammoth task of updating the rosters over the past six months since the release of version 9.6. It has been a massive undertaking and a lot of work for just a small number of people. We haven’t been able to maintain a full changelist, but the below list provides a headline summary of the changes. The rosters are only available via the Steam Workshop. We will not be adding any...

Project NHL 36 v2 Released

A major new version of BKarchitect’s outstanding Project NHL36 roster update is now available for download. For those that are not aware of project, the database intended to allow users to play out the ultimate NHL expansion fantasy with 36 teams in the NHL whilst maintaining an 82 game schedule template (for both regular and Olympic years). As a bonus, the AHL and ECHL each have 36 teams, allowing for a 1:1:1 farm team ratio. All main leagues should be playable except the SPHL (explained further down). In Bkarchitects’ own words, here’s what is new in version 2.0: All the...

Secure access

I have added a redirect to the site to force access via https (i.e. secure access) rather than http (unsecure access). This provides for a more secure connection between your computer and TBL’s server. Please let me know in this thread or via Twitter if anybody has any difficulty accessing the site or logging in.
