13. Written, 3 TPE, Parody (150 words min.)
BWOMP BWOMP BWOMP PARITY ALERT PARITY ALERT- Well, a new team in the finals since the mid s50s, it only took ten seasons. Is parity solved? Will new teams make it in as the old guard becomes a forgotten waste of brain space? Don't forget, Hamilton is here AGAIN. Yes we have new teams... but what if it's TEX HAM again next season? Is that even likely?
 
Wow this question was savage. So lets start with parity. Parity is still a fleeting concept in SHL. If Hamilton winning another cup wasn’t a direct indication that parity is a joke then I don’t know what is. I am not saying big tpe should mean you win it all but you don’t win with Hamilton’s tpe total unless you are working the sim. Now I can’t say its Hamilton’s fault they figure out what works as much as it is disappointing that the sim engine itself can be worked. Its that reason I think Texas isn’t gone from the finals for long. And by long I mean I expect to see them back next season. Why wouldn’t they be back. I will say their second round exit was a bit surprising to me but against Chicago it makes sense. How do we stop good teams from being too good? don’t ask me I am just trying to get my TPE to maybe stand a chance. But we all know it won’t actually matter against Hamilton somehow.

In your opinion, which team is has performed a successful rebuild and built a legacy around starting from the bottom? What constitutes a successful rebuild? Cups? Playoff appearances? Is this team still poised to do great things in the future?
 
When I think of a successful rebuild I have to think of the Tampa Bay Barracuda. I am a season 59 player so I have only paid attention to about as far back as season 57. Back in season 57 TBB had 17 wins. Sure other teams did worse that year but I am setting up a trend. Season 58 TBB had 26 wins followed by 20 wins in season 60. Then the rebuild kicked in and TBB won 38, 39, and 48 games in the following season. This is an example of step one of a successful rebuild, winning games. It also is a second big step in any rebuild and that is making playoffs. Now that TBB is in the playoffs the next step is to win a cup. While they haven’t done that yet (and who will besides Hamilton) they are setup to do it. Sure TBB wasn’t the favorite this year. They had to get through Bap and that would have been pretty impressive. Still from the team I saw when I started to now I can honestly say well done on that rebuild.

15. Written, 2 TPE, The yearly IIHF task (100 words min.)
Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC if you care about that more. Will there be surprises? Will any players make their country proud? Who's gonna suck? Be bold!
 
My first Prediction is that Makrus won’t be playing this year. Oh wait that’s already true. When IIHF means something give me a call. My next prediction is that some teams will actually have legal lines. I know right bold prediction there. Not that anyone actually cares but hopefully at least a few people do. As far as team rankings go I assume Japan will probably be good again. GB seems decent as usual but they suck in the round robin. Canada should be good. probably won’t be but should be. I am hoping Sweden has a good run because I predicted them taking home a medal. Not that I know anything about who is actually good.

If you're in another sim league and are using 4 of those CW tasks here, you can do this task to advertise that league in your CW. What league is it? Is it fun? How does it work? What are the pros/cons of that league, especially in comparison to the SHL?
 
Many people around me know im in a lot of leagues. Currently active in 4 (sorry SSL) and I enjoy different things about each one. lets start with the International Simulation Football League, ISFL. I really enjoy the shorter careers over there. Keeps things interesting and a bit more balanced. The league also seems to be more even. Like when I started the team at the bottom almost won the whole thing this season. And the team that won the whole thing was on the bottom last season. I am generally excited for playoffs even if I am not in it. Next league is the World Simulation Basketball League. I like the sim better. Its also helps there are familiar faces over there. Even if they went IA right away. @Bfine. Being a new league it has some bumps. That’s kinda what I like. Small bumps like keeping an active draft class and not bumps like same teams in the finals again. Last sim league is the Madden Simulation Football league. This one is a bit different since unlike the other sim leagues its all on discord. There are no pts or weekly training. You get money from your contract and by placing bets or having a job. Everything is played out on Madden 22 which has its own cons. Really I like this league because I can watch a sim and its engaging. Its not squares or dots moving its rendered players actually playing football. Sure the physics is sketchy but I am enjoying it far more than I expected too.
