7. NAHL Players



7.1 Ratings

Players that qualify for NAHL ratings have their ratings given to them according to formulas or judgments based on scouting reports. Special thanks to Neil Hayes, GM of the Virus, for allowing us to use his formulas for the ratings in this league. The SC and PA rating is generated by the BTHL Player Rerater. Note: Full rerates take place around June every year once the NHL season is over and all the season's stats are official. If a player plays under 50 games over the course of the NHL season, his stats will be combined with his stats from the year before to determine his SC and PA ratings.



7.2 Prospect Status Rules

For skaters, players who have played in 20 games in the latest NHL season or in 50 games over their career qualify for ratings. Once a player has passed the 50 game mark, he will only need 1 game played per season to keep his ratings. All players that do not fulfil these rules will be put onto their team's prospect list at the next full rerates. Also, a player that announces his retirement or signs and plays in Europe will be put onto the team's prospect list at the beginning of the next season. The deadline for the retirement/Europe deactivation of a player is the night the NAHL cup is won, meaning if a player signs to play in Europe a week after the NAHL cup is won, he will still be eligible for the next season. Should these players return, a GM has the option of using a player rerate on him or wait until the next full rerates.

For goalies, they must have played in 10 games in the latest NHL season or in 20 over their career to qualify for ratings. Once a goalie has passed 20 career games, he will only need 1 game played per season to keep his ratings. All goalies who do not fulfil these rules will be places on their team's prospect list. Rules for retirement and play in Europe also apply for goalies, as does the options to get a goalie back on the roster in the event that he returns to the NHL.



7.3 Player Positions

In order to change a player's position from the one currently being used by the simulator, a GM must supply the commissioner with a well known and up to date website that indicates that the player in question can play the desired position. Positions on this webpage, supplied by the CNHL, are accepted for position changes as well.



7.4 Training Camps

Training camps can be used by a GM to increase a player's ratings. Please note that a player can only be camped once even if he has been traded. Camps only get erased at full rerates, which is around June yearly. Then, a player who had been previously camped can be camped once again. Teams get 3 camps per season. Points can only be handed out in groups of 5 or 10, according to the restrictions. Camps can also be traded, however only camps from the current season can be traded. Restrictions on training camps as follow:

80 OV or higher: 5 points
76-79 OV: 10 points (a rating cannot be increased by more than 5)
71-75 OV: 15 points (a rating cannot be increased by more than 10)
65-70 OV: 20 points (a rating cannot be increased by more than 10)
Under 65 OV: 25 points (a rating cannot be increased by more than 10)



7.5 Player Rerates

Player rerates can be used to adjust a player's SC, PA, PC and DF ratings over the course of the year. It's mainly used in cases where a player is putting up better numbers in the current NHL season than he put up in the season that his ratings are based on. If a player has a camped applied to him before the rerate is used on him, the camp will be erased, the new ratings will be generated, and then the camp will be reapplied exactly like it was previously. Each team gets 2 rerates per offseason and 1 at the midseason. Rerates will not be available during the seasons that are played during the summer, since there is not NHL season going on. Rerates cannot be traded. In order to generate the new ratings, the commissioner will combine the player's numbers from the previous and current NHL seasons in order to determine the new ratings using the Player Rerater program. Here is an example:

Season  GP  G   A  PTS
2001    72  21  22  43 (69 SC, 64 PA)
2002    26  10  17  27 (77 SC, 85 PA)
TOTAL   98  31  39  70 (71 SC, 69 PA)

The player's games played, goals and assists for the 2 seasons were combined in order to generate his new SC and PA ratings. Please note that this example does not cover the DF rating. For DF to be adjusted, the commissioner will make a judgment call by looking at the player's +/- of both seasons compared to the rest of his NHL team.

7.6 Rookie Status

A player in the NAHL is eligible for rookie status (and the Calder trophy) if he is under the age of 27 at the start of the current season. A skater loses his rookie status the following season after playing at least 27 games in one season, while a goalie needs 14 games to lose his rookie status. The commish will decide if a player is eligible for rookie status according to his status in the NHL at the time that he was first inserted into the league.
