Waivers Rules Updates 2023/24

Sometimes only in real world situations do we spot the need for a rule to be officially added to our rules. That is what has happened in the situation w/ Jordan Martinook.

To provide clarity, to mimic the NHL situations as best we can, and to honor a previous president (even though there may be many situations where we didn't but should have) we have an updated set of rules.

These will apply back to the start of the 2023/24 HFNHL preseason.

In the next post, we'll start listing the players who go through waivers and have multiple claims and who those claimants are.

New Waivers Rules

8.1 Waivers 

All players 24 and younger will be exempt from waivers. All those 25 and older must clear waivers to be sent to the farm.

Priority

Priority during the Off-Season is set by the number of points during the previous regular season, worst to best. In the event that two or more teams have identical points the tie-breaker shall be average goal difference ('goals for' subtract 'goals against'), where the team with the worst goal difference shall have higher priority. In the event that two teams have identical records and Avg Goal difference, priority order will be set by the fewest goals scored having higher priority.

Priority does not change regardless of the number of selections any one team may make on the same day.

Priority during the regular season is set by order of reverse points, worst to best, starting once all teams in the league have completed one game day.

Waiver order is managed manually, DO NOT rely on the order within the sim, as this is often incorrect.

Claimed Players

Players claimed can be traded immediately following a claim, except in a situation where there are multiple claims on the same player.

Waiver No Trade

Where more than one team makes a claim, that player cannot be traded unless all other teams who were involved in the original claim have passed (in order of priority on the day of the claim).

If a team would take the player, the team with the original team has to either waive to the next claimant or keep the player.

This Waiver No Trade clause applies until the end of the playoffs of the current season.

A Waiver No Trade thread will be posted on the HFBoards and the player will be designated 'no-trade' within the sim.

Claims

While claims can be made in the web, all claims are only official with a corresponding email to SimGod.
