It is clear that the rules requires a more concrete adaptation, but we decided to continue to apply it as we have been doing for dozens of seasons.

When I approved the Austrian roster, they feel within position requirements, I was not aware there were 9 defencemen.

Sami will not receive his salary as he missed the lines deadline, which is something we have by the way (2 days after the final sim of the SHL playoffs). In addition, should Sami fail to submit lines on-time in a 2nd successive season he will be fired, as per the rules.

On Izzy's opinions of the head office: we hear out every suggestion we receive, from yourself and from any other user on the site. We evaluate and look into each suggestion. If it was not implemented, then the HO does not see it fit to do so. So your claim that we do not listen to you is demonstrably false.

Differences of opinions exist, our vision of the IIHF on some matters do not coincide your own. There is no right path, and thus it's not that we're acting detrimentally to the IIHF, but doing our duties as part of the IIHF HO. You claim your vision of the IIHF would see it do more successful, while I see the tournament as successful currently, but with always more room to grow.

Also let it be known that their is no free pass on the seasonal check-in and roster submission duties of the Fed Heads, and lines are the only one given an additional season, as they are self-punishing but unhealthy for the league nonetheless.

Thank you for the clarifications re: Germany.  That felt ... uh ... much more in line with my expectation, I guess?  Certainly again wish there had been a way to plug in an interim for the sake of this tournament if possible (as mentioned in the pod if you haven't had a chance to listen) but I definitely didn't think Heads kept their jobs after failing to submit a roster ... have seen several fired over the years for it.

Yeah, I PMed Sami one last time, if he doesn't respond Tomen will be brought on as interim-coach as he has so graciously volunteered, so we do have a bit of a back-up plan.

I haven't listened but now I must
