MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
With the
regular season done, we are on to the playoffs.
I have updated the website with playoff files and there are
instructions below on how to set up the league for the playoffs.
Please make sure you get your coaches done asap and if you are
the road team for the first two games, please get them out asap.
Keep an eye on usage for low gp players and goalies please and
good luck to all and let’s get the playoffs started!
In the Prince
of Wales conference the NY Rangers pulled away late to take the
conference #1 position and home ice through the entire playoffs.
NY Islanders finish second in the Howe and will host Chicago in
round 1. Carolina finishes fourth and just behind Buffalo in overall
points so will face the Rangers in round 1.
St. Louis finishes just ahead of the Flyers and will host
Buffalo in round 1.
Philadelphia will host Anaheim in the other series in the Horton.
In the
Campbell Conference Toronto holds on for the top spot in the
conference and will face the lowest wild card left and not a team from
their division. Montreal
just stays ahead of Dallas and will host the Stars in round 1.
Florida wins the Lemieux and will get the top wild card team
left. Pittsburgh just
edges out Colorado for home ice in their series.
Edmonton gets a win at the end and gets the prize of facing
Florida while Calgary gets Toronto in round 1 (yeah, great price :O).
Here are the
playoff matchups:

Dallas vs Montreal
Edmonton vs
Florida
Colorado vs Pittsburgh
If you look to
the bottom of the newsletter you will see the overuse from this
season. Not too bad and in most cases I am guessing it was coaches not
being imported as it was just 1 or 2 games and these will not be
penalized. There were a few that were overused a bunch more and were
already guys who were limited in how many games they could play in a
series and those players will miss the playoffs for the teams listed
below:
Colorado –
Hjalmarsson – overused 5 games, will miss entire series
Dallas –
Dumoulin – overused 7 games, will miss entire series
Edmonton –
Gagner – overused 6 games, will miss entire 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.
There is a new
playoff file which you will need to download and then unzip into a new
folder called RHL2021Playoffs and then switch to that season in the
game and you should be all set.
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 league and your opponent.
**** IMPORTANT
- Action PC Game File Update dated 11/19/2020.
You
need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all playoff
games by the due date on the website by 9 pm. 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.
If I do not receive game exports after
sending updates on Saturday and Sunday, I will send one more
request directly about an hour before the deadline on Sunday.
Unless I get a request for an extension of
time, I will wait til the deadline and about 30 minutes later I will
sim games so I can get new files out before I go to bed Sunday night.
