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 Creek (150 words min.)

If you were the judge of a creek competition, what would you be looking for? How would you choose the championship creek? Is it based on volume of water moved through the creek? Is pleasantness of sound a factor? The beauty of the creek itself? Biodiversity? How do you weigh each factor in your decision? Tell me how you would define the perfect creek.

To me you would have to determine that the creek is in fact a creek and not say, a stream or a river. A creek is much shallower than both, and is generally the smallest of the three. Once it's determined that the creek being judged is in fact a creek, the first thing to look at is the location. A creek in nature will always rank higher than one running through a city, especially if the city creek is man made or changed in some way. You also want to then judge based off of the sound of the creek. Could you lay down and take a nap while being lulled to sleep by the gentle run of the creek? If so, you're looking at a winner. Accessibility also plays a big factor in the creek competition. You want your creek to be one that can be travelled to, but you also want to it be hard enough to find that it isn't ruined by people littering or destroying the ecosystem. A creek that checks all of these boxes is the clear winner for me. (186 words)

17. Written, 3 TPE, Neutral Turf (150 words min.)

We simply cannot play in a host country any more, it's too big of an advantage for the home team. You're going to have to find the ideal location to host these international tournaments, and it cannot be in any existing country! Where do you take this season's IIHF tournaments to ensure neutral territory? Bonus points for any fun and exciting extra effects this location might have on the game of hockey.  

As we can no longer play in a host country for the IIHF tournaments anymore, the Simulation Hockey League has decided to have a man made structure built in the middle of the Bering Sea for them to host on. The structure resembles what you would get if you mixed a cruise ship and an offshore oil rig, and has two twin rinks built on the deck. One downside of this location is that each team has to either be flown out or boated out to the middle of the Bering Sea. On the plus side, the climate is perfect for ice and the tournaments are like an outdoor game or a heritage classic game. A few cruise lines have made cruises to this location so that fans can come and support their country. If at any point in the game the puck goes out of play and into the ocean and it happens to hit a whale or shark, that is now counted as a goal just because of how rare that would be but how funny it would be to see happen.

2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

d. Personally I believe that Seattle will be the winners once the dust settles. Manhattan is hungry for revenge and will make this a very tough series for Seattle, but the Seattle core is intact and just too experience and strong to lose. They scored at will throughout the regular season and will continue to do so against the Rage in the finals. (62 words)
