NHL94

LEAGUE CONCEPT:

The league concept is based on the classic NHL video game EA Sports NHL'94.

With 30 teams the idea is to have a small roster of 14 players to keep the free agent pool decent and many owners to trade with. Each team will have 6 starters (C,LW,RW,D,D,G) and will be required to sub players in daily when your starters are off.

OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
Owners are expected to update their daily lineups, check their forum messages & respond, & update their forum trading block. I don't expect you to commit to hours a day but a few minutes a day is more than reasonable to stay competitive in this league.

THE LEAGUES:
The league is made up of 4 leagues:
NHL94 East - 16 Team Eastern Conference
NHL94 West - 14 Team Western Conference
NHL94 Championship - The East / West Finals
NHL94 Free Agents - All the free agent players not owned

THE BEGINING

We began with 30 owners & a full live draft on ESPN where East owners drafted East players and West drafted West players. After the draft we switched to allow players to cross leagues via trades & add/drops.

THE FORUM

The forum is key to making the league work. We use the forum for owners to communicate on league setup, make trade offers & add/drop players.

Owners can communicate via the forum:
1. PM/Email system under "Members"
2. Post a trading block in the "Team Trading Blocks" section
3. Post a player rumor in the "Player Trade Rumors" section

HOW THE LEAGUE WILL WORK

The east teams will matchup weekly against east teams, west vs west teams. Eight teams from each league will make the playoffs & matchup until there is an East winner and West winner. An invite will be sent to the winners to join the championship league where the East winner will matchup against the West winner in a 2 week final.

ROSTER SETUP (Very important to read this section!)

No player is duplicated, for example: if Sidney Crosby is owned by an East team he is not used in the West League he is left in the free agent pool and no one can claim him. He can be traded to the West but then not used in the East.

FREE AGENT ADD/DROPS (Very important to read this section!)

We use a separate league to track the available free agent players, the link is on the forum & above the chatbox on the ESPN league page.

To add/drop a player:
1. Visit the ESPN Free agent league which will take you to an ESPN player pool
2. All players listed as available you can make a claim on by posting on the forum
3. Go to the forum and post a reply to the topic "Transactions Add(s)/Drops(s)" (right side of the forum)
4. Once your add/drop is posted on the forum the League Manager will adjust your ESPN roster

Teams cannot add/drop their own free agents because both the East/West League & the Free Agent League must be updated. Allowing all teams to do this could cause errors, it works best if one or two owners are responsible for this.
