3. Written, 3 TPE, Song of the Playoffs (150 words min.)

Every season the NHL buys the rights to a song that they edit their playoff promotional materials to. This season we’re doing the same thing for the SHL! Pitch me your “Song of the S67 Playoffs”! Who sings it? Why do you think it would make a good hype song?

I was recently at a hockey game where they played Sandstorm by DJ Da Rude and, despite the age of the song, people were really getting into it and jamming out. Maybe it was just the combination of the song with beer and epic McDavid play, but the whole mood in the arena was just jacked up and filled with positive vibes. So I guess if it works at getting people hyped for the NHL it's probably just as good for the SHL. Get people to bust out the neon track suits and bring a little more 1990s into the league and we've got an even more fun time on our hands for playoff season. Plus the song is like an hour long so you'll never run out of content to play at the whistles. And I imagine it probably hypes the players too. They may be younger these days but you know they recognize it too.

5. Written, 3 TPE, Hotel Rooms (150 words min)

During the playoffs it’s not uncommon to have to spend several days on the road in the same city. Whether you’re in the playoffs or not, who does your player share a room with on the road? What do you get up to? Are you the type to drag around a PS5 everywhere you go, or are you the first to hit the bar after the game? Are you a night owl or an early riser?

My player hates sharing hotel rooms. She'll do it when she absolutely has to, but if she's got the option (and she usually does) she takes her own room with a king sized bed and a view of the city. It's not that she hates people, it's just she prefers those few moments she gets to herself. Most of the time she's surrounded by teammates at the rink or hanging out with family or whatever, so she'll take whatever alone time she can get. Before heading to the hotel she loads up on crap food (she'll burn it off in practice anyways, it's ok). She might pop out again for dinner and a quick tour of the area or go for a night swim at the hotel or something, but for the most part she just keeps things pretty low key and sticks around the room in the company of games on TV or games on her laptop.

Code:
7. Milestones, up to 3 TPE

Milestones are folded in with CW. So just link your Milestone claim as task 7 for up to 3 TPE towards your 16 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

13. Graphic, 1 TPE, crAIyon? More like CWaiyon!

In the spirit of the insanely easy ring task that stayed around forever, we can keep running this one! Try using OpenAI’s DALL E Mini (now known as crAIyon) to generate a Challenge Cup related image. It could be a championship ring, your player lifting the cup, a locker room celebration. Go nuts as long as you’re attempting to make it SHL related! The results will be weird, but it’s fun!  https://www.craiyon.com/

20. Written, 3 TPE, Championship Leek (150 words min.)

If you were the judge of a Leek competition, what would you be looking for? How would you choose the championship Leek? Aesthetics only? Is taste a factor for you? How do you weigh each factor in your decision? Tell me, in 150 words, how you would define the perfect championship winning Leek.

The best leeks are a nice dark green with a very straight firm stalk. The yellow wilty ones just won't do in this competition. Also to be a truly great leek, the bulb should be unblemished, meaning it has no bruises or cracks or anything like that. Thicker leeks also just look a lot nicer and "fuller" than the thinner ones so i guess that would be a criteria too. But more importantly than anything else, the best leeks have to be those that are accepted by Farfetch'd. If Farfetch'd refuses to acknowledge your leek, it doesn't matter how it looks, it's trash and shouldn't win anything in the competition. Without that bird's approval it's nothing and the person competing with that leek should be ashamed of themselves for even trying. Farfetch'd makes his approval or disapproval of a leek very clear, so it's not hard to miss when a leek doesn't meet expectations. The moment he turns his head, it's game over.
