MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

So with 20 regular seasons behind us it is time to see who can win the 20th RHL Cup.  The playoffs are here and it is time to get things rolling and see if we can crown a champion before summer sets in. With the regular season complete we have some hardware to hand out before we head on to the playoffs. Congratulations to the Florida Panthers for winning the Commissioners Cup, we will see if they can take it all the way though a tough matchup may face them with Edmonton in round 2!

Pittsburgh – Spezza miss game 1 and 2 of each series

Here is a quick updated on playoff usage rules for those who may need them:

       PLAYOFF USAGE LIMITS FOR SKATERS:

        1) 60 or more NHL games can play all playoff games (per series)
        2) 55-59 NHL games      6 playoff games
        3) 50-54 NHL games      5 playoff games
        4) 40-49 NHL games      4 playoff games
        5) 30-39 NHL games      3 playoff games
        6) 20-29 NHL games      2 playoff games
        7) 10-19 NHL games      1 playoff game

      PLAYOFF USAGE LIMITS FOR GOALTENDERS
      Goalies with 1-14 games may only dress as backups
      Goalies with 15-19 games may only start 1 game per series (but may dress as backups in all other games)
      Goalies with 20-24 games may only start 2 games per series (but may dress as backups in all other games)
      Goalies with 25-29 games may only start 3 games per series (but may dress as backups in all other games)
      Goalies with 30+ games may start all playoff games in a series (or may be dressed as a backup)

Injury backups may only play if the computer pulls the starter due to an injury OR the team is down by 4 or more goals at any time in the game (a mercy rule basically). The second part may be accomplished by a computer setting for road games that is defined as a team being down by 4 or more goals OR by a home coach making this decision when his team is down by 4 or more goals.

Once a goalie has made his maximum allowable starts he must follow all rules for Injury backups as stated above.

Please guys, you have to make sure you import coaches before you are playing games. Many of you are not and those are showing up as guys are being over or underplayed. I don’t want to have to impose penalties but it isn’t fair to your opponents if you aren’t doing this one thing before playing your games. Also at a minimum you need to be adding boxscores to your game reports.  I don’t need .flm files or game exports, just the box that you save at the end of the game please.

There is a new playoff file which you will need to download and then unzip into a new folder called RHL1920-Playoffs and then switch to that season in the game and you should be all set.  Make sure you start all games from the Playoff Bracket button on the main page of the league. If you are sending the same lineup for all 7 games then just a regular coach should work. If you want to set specific lineups for each game, then you need to use the Daily Lineups as it gives you a lot more flexibility. As soon as you have your coach set for your road games, please send that out to the.

**** IMPORTANT  - Action PC Game File Update dated 03/06/2020. 

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all home games
as soon as the games are played. This is MANDATORY, both the exports
AND boxscores please.
   Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one quick
comment for all games, just adds to the league and makes it easier for
everyone to see what is going on.
