Working to get us going

24 & Under Buybacks Open

Tony hasn't responded to my emails as of yet.  If things get cleared up and he is able to keep going, everything can be handed back,  but as of 3/5  I have recovered the league on my end and got the updated ratings into the simulator.  Just awaiting Jeff's help to roll the site over, but I want everyone to know I will do what I can to get the train back rolling.  Will get in the new Slack soon, for now keep your eyes here for frequent updates of what's happening.

Note with our first update:  I used multiple tools, one for the first time to get my end back up to date in one night.  I used AI to convert my rerate excel file to a format an FHL Tool would read,  and used that FHL Tool for the first time to convert that file to an FHL file for the sim. I am hopeful everything converted and transferred correctly. You are encouraged to give a once over of your rosters.

Here is the original rerated rosters , you can compare with your roster currently on the site. Will get the finances corrected imminently, up to the point of endorsement money losses. From there participation distribution will need to be decided.

As of 3/10 Update:
- Rerated Players
- Aged Players
- Modified Contracts Updated
- Retired Players Removed
- Finances are updated, with endorsement losses removed as well. 
- Participation: 70% of last season's maximum possible participation was used as the base. From there, the typical boost method based on reverse avg.revenue was applied, meaning teams received $11-$22M, with the league wide average being $14.6M. One team received the minimum avg revenue boost (SJS: extra $6.88M) based on a minimum revenue of $1.5M/game.

To Do:
- Roll Call of GMs  (email has been sent to GMs I haven't seen in the slack or had an email from already)
- 24 & Under Rating Buybacks  (in progress, deadline: 3/16)
- Open trading, contract re-signs
- Create Upcoming Draftees in Simulator

24 & Under Rating Buybacks
Teams can start sending these in to fnhlwalsh@gmail.com now.  Refresher below:
- Players that were 24 and under last season (so, appearing 25 on the site today), have protection on PA/PC/SC. 
- These ratings can only go -1, or -2 if the rating started at 78 or higher.
- Teams can buy back up to 2 total points per eligible player
- Cost is $1,000,000 per point for teams that made the playoffs
- Cost is $500,000 per point for teams that missed the playoffs, and the first 6 points are free. 
- Goaltenders handled separately. If you had a goalie 24 or younger go down in ratings, you can have their ratings reset to last season (EX/LD gain remains). You will be quoted a price if you ask for it.

You can click players through your roster page to see their ratings last season, or go HERE
