  1. It is possible that someone who isn't in GDL votes. In that case it is possible for the poll to appear different to what the real majority is.
  2. Where is the setting to view which members voted for an option?
  3. DRAFT RULES Straight forward fantasy-snake draft. 24 Teams, 12 Rounds. What is not finalized is up for vote in the poll. Majority wins. The draft order has already been determined and we will run the draft through the use of a spreadsheet http://www.nflpickempool.net/GDLDraft/index.php is a great tool for drafting research. Get your scouting game on! SCHEDULE This league is going to follow a strict schedule that will last 15 weeks (from draft to end) assuming the draft is spread out over the course of 5 days. (dates will be updated later): Week 1 (Sunday TBD) - Start of draft Week 1 (Thursday TBD) - End of draft Week 1 (Friday Noon) - ROM with all 24 teams and rosters released Week 2 (Monday 11:59PM) - Lines and jersey numbers due Week 2 (Tuesday Noon) - Final ROM released - Get a head-start on the season! Week 2 (Saturday TBD) or Week 3 (Sunday TBD) - Official Season start Week 4 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 7-game checkpoint Week 5 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 14-game checkpoint Week 6 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 21-game checkpoint Week 7 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 28-game checkpoint Week 8 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 35-game checkpoint Week 9 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 42-game checkpoint Week 10 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 49-game checkpoint Week 11 (Sunday 11:59PM) - 56-game checkpoint Week 11 (Monday Noon) - Start of playoffs Week 12 (Monday 11:59PM) - Round 1 deadline Week 13 (Monday 11:59PM) - Round 2 deadline Week 14 (Monday 11:59PM) - Round 3 deadline Week 15 (Monday 11:59PM) - End of Season SEASON RULES Alignment There will be 2 conferences of 2 divisions of 6 coaches for a total of 24 coaches. Each coach will play 56 games: 4x (2H,2A) against the 5 coaches in their division for 20 2x (1H,1A) against the other coaches in the other divisions for 36 Checkpoints There will be 8 weekly checkpoints of 7-game intervals (7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56). There will be a main thread on the forums and a league-wide AIM group for scheduling. Failure to reach checkpoints as a result of slacking will result in these penalties: 1x - A total drop of 8 slots between snake picks in next season's draft. Example, A player who would normally draft 22nd/3rd gets penalized to 24th (2) / 9th (6) (2 + 6 = 8) 2x - A total drop of 20 slots between snake picks in next season's draft. Example, A player who would normally draft 12th/13th gets penalized to 22nd (10) / 23rd (10) (10 + 10 = 20) 3x - Automatic boot and restriction from playing in the next season. Any player who fails to hit a checkpoint as a result of real-world conflicts (i.e vacation, birth of baby, etc.) will not be penalized, but will still be replaced if three checkpoints are missed. Playoffs There will be a vote for the playoff format! Below is the current tiebreak system. Divisional Tiebreaker Hierarchy 0 Forfeits Head-to-Head record Division record Goals scored in head-to-head competition Goals scored on the road Conference record Conferential Tiebreaker Hierarchy 0 Forfeits Head-to-Head record Conference record Goals scored in head-to-head competition Goals scored on the road Division record A minimum of 48 games is required to qualify for the playoffs. Forfeits will be assigned In the case of any games between 48-56 resulting in a DNP. The seeding will then be determined. Playoff home-ice advantage will be unavailable to all players with a minimum of one forfeit, unless both parties in a playoff series have one. In that case the higher seed will be awarded with home-ice. Teams will have 6 points added to their season total for each game unplayed at the conclusion of the season for GDL XIV draft order purposes. Each round will last one week. If you go on vacation... bring your laptop Minor Rule Changes A point will no longer be awarded for an overtime loss The new kailleraclient.dll will be the standard

  5. Game 6 was the killer; that game was mine and I let it slip.
  6. http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english Take the FN test and post your scores.
  7. Is there any compensation for a coach who finishes last? For the following season, I mean.
  8. Disrespect!! Boston is great. Did Juneau that Bourque is THE man?
  9. Ask the guys from Tecmo Bowl. They do the same thing and they are in season 24 or whatever. They have a formula that determines how players' attributes change after each season.
  10. You can play for fun and still improve.. it's not an excuse. You can't just sit back and accept that you will never be "good enough" because you aren't trying to be the best. You can say "I don't want to be the best, but I CAN be the best" You can't say "I don't want to be the best so I will NEVER be the best". There is a big difference between the two. The latter is discouraging. No matter who you are, family or not, even if you play 25 minutes a week - If you think you CAN improve and you know what it takes.. you'll improve. If you think you will never improve, play all you want and it will never happen. You don't need to play x amount of exis, in fact, you don't even have to play exis at all. It's not some extreme committment. It's a simple sports game that requires no practice outside of league games. Learn from your mistakes and become better, that's it.
  11. What is with the atittude of the players here? Saying things like "o man I will never be an A player" is just the nastiest way to approach the game of NHL '94. Where is the confidence? Let's take a look. NHL '94 is a simple game. You move your players and press two (sometimes three) buttons. It's not hard. Now I could understand finding a game like Street Fighter to be tough, where one must memorize hundreds of button combinations and precise timings to be a good player. But for a game so dumbed down like NHL '94, how could someone say they will never be good? It all has to do with confidence. You need to have some faith in your play. Nobody is unbreakable, anyone can be beaten. If you really think you are inferior to your opponent, you are going to lose every time. I promise great improvement to any player who does not carry around the shitty attitude of "I will never beat kingraph, plabax, Freydey, etc.". It's not only about wanting to win, it's also about knowing you can win and playing against those who are better than you. Even if you find yourself on the wrong end of blowouts, do not get discouraged. Losing big is a blessing. When you lose big/often, there is something in your game that is being exploited. The key is to find out what it is and use it to grow. This is what separates the good players from the bad ones. A good player will make the same mistakes on defense 20x, realize it and say "I'm going to be so much better once I can comfortably defend against my main weakness; I know I can compete". A bad player will keep making the same mistakes and say "There is nothing I can do. My opponent is way too good for me". For the record, I played in FOUR different B/C leagues before I actually became a standard-A player. I never played with those who were better than me until Raph's Survivor league. I was in complete shock at the amount of talent some of the guys had. I am not going to lie, I really thought I wasn't good enough once I got blown out for the first time. However, I stayed confident and I kid you not I made my transition from scrub to an A player in the span of seven weeks. I ended up taking out the Blitz B champion in five games and played a thrilling seven-game series against Raph in which five of the seven games were decided by one goal. And let me tell you something, I SUCKED at the start of that season. You can find the standings from the forums for proof. Bottom line... don't think of yourself as inferior! Oh yeah, and never get comfortable!
  12. On the kaillera p2p site you can download a recorder and a IIRC chat. Download and follow the instructions to use them.
  13. Download the recorder and you can record games. PS: f**k 2on2
  14. Playing in B does not = "playing for fun" - When dickon loses and then calls you a hacker, a faggot, etc. I don't think he's playing for fun. This guy cannot stand losing and you are not good enough to challenge him to the point where he gets pissed off. I think he is so content smashing your face in the B league that you haven't experienced any of the s**t. Dickon has 4 finals appearances in the B leagues.. and the only guys to ever challenge him in the B leagues are Uncle Seth, xdeathsbloodx and myself (A players). Notice how they moved up and stayed up? He is 56-17 in B-league playoffs, and 13 of those losses have come from the three I mentioned above. It's ridiculous. I am pretty sure he is 36-4 (9 playoff series, 6 sweeps, including 2 in the finals) in his THREE B title runs. Sweeping the opponent 67% of the time is straight deadly. because dickon has all his B titles in his signature. He also won't hesitate to take a shot at any player with no titles. Takes Buffalo the next chance he gets in GENS B.. lol
  15. I'm going to play. On a side note, don't let Sebe play. Also, is dcicon really in B? He's actually an A player. It's not the the type of A player that is between A/B. He's A. Dcicon intentionally acts inferior to the rest of the A players and loses on purpose just so he can be relegated to and win B. Is that right? Sorry but, the truth is, dcicon is way more competitive in A than he is in B.
  16. Here is the difference. In the NHL, teams who get the last pick are already good so the handicap is needed to try and even out the teams. A good team will typically be good the next season so there is no reason to snake. In our case, being good does not mean you will have a good team. If we do not snake, the good players will end up with s**t teams every time so it doesn't even serve as a handicap to make things fair. Also.. sometimes top players meet early in the playoffs. Freydey and TomKabs played in round 1, or swos and flasox. The loser of these kind of series is just going to have a big advantage over whoever was even with them the season before.
  17. Or we could settle it in Blitz... wait, you already got eliminated wow I hope you don't go to Toronto thinking that the goal is to lose in the first round...
  18. Angryjay.. "I've got an addiction.. and it's called losing" lolo
  19. GDL is too big of a league for your garbage. Non-snake? Not everyone needs to have a fair chance at winning. Players who are good at the game have obviously put in the time to be good, so why should they be punished for it? Some players are better than others, that is how it is. Giving others the sympathy of stacking their teams because they can't beat the top A players like me is just giving players who do not deserve to win a better chance to do so.
  20. TomKabs is actually wrong. It's not really probability in some cases. I was never able to shoot like Brett Hull with Gretzky depsite taking a lot of shots. So it is not probability. Some times a player may shoot it slower but that is a bug in the game and it is not related to stats. If Lemieux has a bad shot, it is most likely because he is cold to the point where his rating is not high enough. A 4 in stick handling does not mean shake off 1/10 checks. When a player 4 stick handle shakes off a check I am pretty sure they have a hot rating. For me it happens maybe 0.01% of the time. I am pretty sure higher shot accuracy gives you more AIM. Players with high shot accuracy are able to pick spots that others can't. Anyway... static ROMs 4 life!
  21. I have been wondering this for years. Thanks lol
  22. If I win this season, I'm in (I have to defend)! If I lose, I'll take a short break, but I'll be around.
  23. We are now finished. When is the roll call for the GDL the 13th PS: Not GDL XIII, Not GDL 13, it's GDL the 13th
