***When I first started on the website, I wrote an article during my rookie year about a scouting report for my player that I incorrectly labeled as my 2X First Post. However I received a PM from @Leafs4ever stating the following:

Hey, welcome to the SHL!

I just wanted to let you know, the article you wrote here: https://simulationhockey.com/showthread.php?tid=126571

Yes, it is your first article so it would be 2x, but good news for you. You wrote the article during Draft Media week, which is also double payout. Since we don't stack bonuses, the bonus that we used for the article is the draft media bonus. What that means is that you still have your first article bonus available to you for your first media piece written outside of this double media time frame. Today is the last day for double media articles, so any article you write after today OR any media piece you write that is not about the draft can have your first article bonus.

Hope that's clear!

Here is the Draft Double Media my article should have fallen under according to Leafs4ever so I am hoping I am listing this article correctly as my true 1st Media Post for 2x the payout. Let me know if you have any questions! Discord: minaj27#2064 ***
