It has been brought to the Head Office's attention that there is currently an ability for players who are under regression to apply post-regression TPE prior to applying regression, and therefore reduce the impact of regression to their stats (therefore potentially keeping non-strength attributes from falling below the threshold where they cannot be raised further). As this circumstance mitigates the desired effect of regression, we are adding a stipulation to rule IIB of the SHL Rulebook:

"Regression must be applied first in an update using ONLY TPE earned prior to the posted regression date (as indicated in the offseason regression thread).  All other claimed TPE unaffected by regression (i.e. earned after the posted regression date) may be applied to your build after regression is applied."

This stipulation will be added here:

• During regression, you will lose a percentage of your total TPE (including banked TPE that has not been applied). You will get to choose where to remove that percentage of your TPE from. This means you can regress certain attributes before others. Regression must be applied first in an update using ONLY TPE earned prior to the posted regression date (as indicated in the offseason regression thread).  All other claimed TPE unaffected by regression (i.e. earned after the posted regression date) may be applied to your build after regression is applied. Any attempt by any player to circumvent the SHL Regression system, including but not limited to: the intentional delay of claiming and or applying TPE as a means of altering their TPE count for the purposes of calculating regression, shall be subject to fines, suspension and the loss of TPE, as per the Head Office.
