Task One – Trivia: 3 TPE

Task Four – Rules: 3 TPE
I believe that the SHL has always had a strict policy against tampering, which for the most part, is well-founded. However, there seems to be a real disconnect between the definition of tampering and the application of the punishment associated with a tampering situation. I can recall a few different times in the S20s and S30s where a tampering charge was assessed to a franchise and it seriously brought that team back a few steps on their journey towards contention. I do see many situations in the current day SHL where something occurs that I’d consider tampering, but the league’s perspective and the Head Office’s perspective seem to differ. It seems like there is so much gray area, and that is a dangerous slope. I think that tampering can occur publicly, and even if it is public, that shouldn’t excuse the behavior of a player or manager from publicly trying to sway or convince a player or user to join their team when they’re under a contract with another team or haven’t reached the free agency period.

Task Thirteen – Parity: 3 TPE
Yeah, so, parity is an issue that needs to be addressed, and it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. There’s been dialogue across the board that directs blame at General Management teams, at the simulation engine, FHM6, and at the Head Office. I know that Head Office is taking this very seriously and is evaluating their options on how to level the playing field. The sheer lack of parity is clearly impacting the drive and interest in becoming a general manager in this league, as we have a serious lack of applicants for prominent SHL manager positions. I believe, prior to Luke applying, there were no apps for the New England position for weeks. If the league can somehow sort out a way to level the playing field for new managers, I believe this will address the GM shortage and parity if we can somehow get to a place where testing is much more difficult, if not impossible.
