Post-Game Shows
This sub-forum is used for Post-Game Show threads. A Post-Game Show (or PGS) is a means of earning TPE for your player, with a focus on providing coverage of weekly SMJHL games.  

Post-Game Shows may be completed at any point in the season after they become available to be claimed.

How to Participate
There are two ways in which you can earn TPE in Post-Game Shows.  

The first is to "claim" a PGS, which can be done by being the first to claim it in the seasonal PGS Claim Thread, which is pinned in this sub-forum. When you claim a PGS, you are committing to starting that games PGS Thread. You have a maximum of 72 hours to publish your Game Thread or else you will lose privilege to that game and it will be going to someone else in need of it. When you make a game thread, you are required to include the following:

• Game Header & Final Score
  
• Three Stars
  
• Game Summary/Synopsis
  

This should be a high-effort post and to show why you are interested in doing this. For following the requirements, the grader will award you an easy 3 TPE.

The second way to earn TPE from Post-Game Shows is to comment in a PGS Game Thread that somebody else has started. You can do this any game so either either 3 comments for one game or 3 comments for 3 of 4 games, but try to keep your comment unique. This comment should also provide some sort of game-coverage, such as an in-depth looks at three stars or a "TSN Turning Point", and will earn you 1 TPE per comment, up to a maximum of 3 per game, to reach the 3 TPE cap. Here is an example of doing 3 Comments at one game for 3 TPE

Reminder: You may earn 3 TPE per game, and a maximum of 15 TPE per season.

What You Could Include
Here are a few ideas of what you could include in a Post-Game Show thread or comment:

• Highlight Reel (minimum 3 gifs or graphics)
  
• A story of the game in the style of an article or blog post
  
• A description of the goals, including how the play formed, who was involved, etc.)
  
• Turning points in the game (this could be a fight, a bad penalty or a timely goal, for example)
  
• Team stats breakdown and analysis (e.g. faceoffs, special teams, not just a copy-paste of the stats)
  
• Individual player stats breakdown, analysis, and comparisons
  
• Interview(s) with a player or GM involved (minimum 3 questions, cannot interview yourself, cannot interview the same person more than once per season)
  
• Interesting trivia or historical matchups, potential playoff implications, etc.)
  
• Graphics, infographics
  
• Unsung heroes, MVP, three stars, etc.
  
• Magazine-style profiles
  
• Podcast or video
  
• Other
  

Grading and Payout
There will be a word limit for the Post-Game show.

• Minimum of 100 words for each comment which will get your 1 TPE
  
• Minimum of 400 words for a PGS Game Thread which gets you 3 TPE
  

You must also visibly put in some sort of effort to analyze the game and provide some sort of coverage above what we can find by simply looking in the game link. The point is to elaborate on the game link, not to copy-paste from it. You may be docked TPE if there appears to be a lack of effort included.

To re-iterate, you may earn a maximum of 3 TPE per game. You can reach that by doing a single PGS Thread (which earns 3 TPE), or by posting PGS Comments (which earns 1 TPE) up to 3 times in a sim week. There is a seasonal cap of 15 TPE from Post-Game Shows.

S45 Rule Changes:

• You must include the 15 TPE PGS Cap in your TPE claims
