Rules

Selecting an retired player is considered to be an invalid pick. Please do your own due diligence when picking players.

Don't do the following things.

Cheating
Cheating can be identified as,

• Editing the fantasy scoring sheet to incorrectly reflect scores or player choices,
  
• Editing or deleting posts in fantasy group threads that contain picks or swaps,
  
• Knowingly posting incorrect information in swap requests.
  

Being caught cheating will result in being ejected from all SHL Fantasy groups and being barred from participating again indefinitely, and receiving no rewards for your participation in fantasy that season.

Tanking
Inexplicably this actually happens, but tanking can be identified as,

• Deliberately picking players that you believe will post uncompetitive scores.
  

If a group or league manager believes you are tanking, they may ask you to justify your picks. If you are unable to give a satisfactory reason why you believe your picks will be competitive (where "satisfactory" is determined by the group or league manager), the group or league manager have the right to replace you in the group and you will receive no rewards for your participation in fantasy that season.

Failing to PM the next person in the draft
Failing to PM the next person in the draft can be identified as,

• Failing to PM the next person in the draft. (shocker!)
  

If a player informs the group manager that you failed to PM them about their pick, the group manager will give you the opportunity to prove otherwise. If you can't, on the first offence (and any further offences), the group manager will leave a flaming bag of poop on your doorstep. On the second offence, the group manager will have the right to remove and replace you, and you will receive no rewards for your participation in fantasy that season.

Acts such as deliberately giving bad advice to other gullible people participating in fantasy; dumping all of the TPE from your checking stat to affect the results of a fantasy team; changing the lines of any SHL team you control to affect the results of a fantasy team; trading players away from teams you control to affect the results of fantasy team; or getting yourself elected to H.O. to influence other league rules in the hope of affecting the results of a fantasy team, are not against the rules. They are, however, considered unsportsmanlike, to various degrees, and you should refrain from doing these things.
