I still have 18 TPE to give out throughout playoffs. The reason less TPE is being given out in the regular season is because the season itself was shorter. More TPE will be handed out in the playoffs to balance this.

Implement discussion board threads every week. A unique post and two replies give 3 TPE, or something.

That's an awesome idea... if not as the main function for TPE, then maybe for some cash.

My discussion on the cap issue threads the past few days are are 1. much more interesting to me than any PT or media and 2. not something I "have" to do which no one else will ever read, but something that could actually impact the league in a positive way. I get nothing for that content/input...

Instead, I've got to knock out some stupid media article trying to just boost my word count as much as possible without sounding like I'm adding too much "fluff" so I can have money for training. It just feels so lame, ya know?

Edit - In the 2 contract threads, I made 19 posts (1 wasn't really relevant) and wrote 2245 words, with some really good discussion with other posters in there. Those posts have no reward, but if I'd droned on in media for 2245 words (which what, 15 people might read?), I'd have racked up 2 million dollars, good for 10 TPE worth of training. Hell, that's enough for 11 PTs worth of content. After taking the time to talk about all that league relevant stuff, I don't really have the time (or drive) to do a media post on top of it all... That's kind of my point.

Can we please get rid of PGS all together?

I know it's ur baby c but seriously nobody reads them. I shared this idea with the SMJHL team because I think that there are some seriously better ways to go about giving rookies a jump start. We should also look at eliminating it for SHL players (send downs are still ok) as it prevents rookies & send downs from gaining a little bit on players before their draft years as everybody is eligible to do PGS which is basically against the point of having PGS as a little way to get ahead for SMJHL players in the first place.

Anywho, here's my idea. Replacing PGS with writing media that will revitalize the SMJHL media board all together.

- Write a draft review for the SMJHL (500 words min / 3 TPE)
- Start a rivalry with another player or team (500 words min / 3 TPE) (can be a joint article)
- Playoff Preview (500 word min / 3 TPE)
- etc, etc.

Obviously it will still be capped at 15, and that way it encourages media articles and they can also use the money they get from the articles to train their players.

my $0.02

Seconded. It just because another grind stone when it was opened up to SHL players... Crutch's ideas are interesting, I think they're solid.

No more "Choose your own" PTs please. Too much responsibility means I wont ever do it and that makes me a sad panda.

I agree that PGS is not a positive thing to have around from my perspective. It sounds like it was started as a "hm, let's see if this works" experiment, and I think it was worth trying, but it doesn't seem to have worked out well.

PTs are at least somewhat interesting to do and different every week; PGS is just the same thing over and over again, just with different names and stats.

That being said, I'd love to hear from some of the folks that put more effort into their PGS submissions; I don't know if some of them enjoy it?

I could enjoy the previous one, but since they changed the format, I cannot enjoy it and I am not doing it. Personally I would not mind of PGS being cancelled and PbP being rewarded in terms of money, not TPE as it has limited spots and its literally who gets to claim a playoff game first.

I honestly thought my PGS submissions were pretty solid (especially my 2nd season of doing them, into my 3rd- which was the first year of SHL availability)... but honestly I didn't really like doing them, they took a LOT of time. But, I got a late start in joining and needed to make up TPE on my draft mates. I honestly had started copying the format of my previous posts, and subbing in new "play by play" moments, names and stats.

The thing that made me stop? I got sick of seeing submissions that were half assed (especially once opened up to the SHL) getting full credit for them. I was putting up 1000 word PGS for 3 TPE and seeing others do half as much work and getting the same thing pissed me off. Yeah, I could have just toned it down, but it was more about the principle of it. After this short PT season, I am really missing the extra TPE... but it just didn't feel worth it anymore.

The format for PGS' now is much easier, and you can write up enough for 3 TPE pretty quickly. I agree with you about the old way, as I put a lot of effort into mine as well.

We'll keep PGS until we can find a good replacement.

May I ask how the milestone numbers were decided? 35 assists for a defender seem pretty high.

It was designed to be unattainable for you, even if you had 35 assists, it would be raised to 36 required

A replacement way to earn/award that 15 TPE/season, or...? (Because it looks like making that available to SHL players was a recent and somewhat controversial change anyway.)

I didn't realize the PGS format had changed. I'll have to take a second look, thanks.

Is activity that next to no one ever reads "good" activity? I think it's an important question in regards to the direction of PTs, PGS, etc. I don't know the definitive answer, but my gut tells me not really. The fuck do I know though? haha.

May I ask again and get a good answer because I'm not Bojo?

Most of the defensemen milestones require you to be in the top 10 for that category to be able to claim them.

For the last couple of seasons, milestones have been the top 10-15% or so of the league. There are about 60-70 SHL defencemen, by my math, so the top 10 would be about 50% of that.
