Affiliation Agenda

Agenda before the PGHL/MPGHL seasons:

I. Off-season:
-Synchronization of the MPGHL/PGHL schedules. This includes draft dates.
-PGHL Captain apps will be sent out first, with given the option of owning a Minors team. *NOTE backing out of owning a minors team is NOT OPTIONAL the decision on the coaches end is FINAL*
-MPGHL Coaching apps will be sent out right after the PGHL filling up the rest of the spots not taken by affiliation owners.
-Ranks will be updated for both Minors and PGHL. (Updates include both Minors and Majors changing the 'suspended' tab to 'Minors' and 'Majors' respectively.
-Schedule making: Process will include discussion of rounds.

II. Draft
-Draft will start with PGHL. After PGHL is done the teams in the affiliation system MUST send the board their list of players being sent down.
-MPGHL draft will start subtracting the rounds of players that were drafted in PGHL the day before. (Lowest round subtraction)

III. Regular season
-Setting bench limit. (How many poeple can be on the bench and play during the game?)

-Call ups:
Call ups will consist of no more than 2 minors players being called up to the minors.
If called up there must be a bench limit and in players case must be scratch if exceeding limit. (Ex: I have 15 ready players on the bench and I have called up Merritex from the minors, I MUST scratch one of my other players from the game if roster exceeds. This will be used in games say Atomic cant make tonights game and I am short handed, an hour before the game I PM'ed Macrosv1 to call up Merritex and PM Shirako requesting the call up. Call up happens and I play the minors player but Scratch Atom from the game.)

-Scratches:
If in the event a player is called up from the minors and roster exceeds limit, then one of the players from the bench may NOT play.

-Send downs:
If a player is sent down captains must inform their minors coach and the two board affiliation committee members for PGHL and MPGHL notifying the send down. (Ex: Atom comes back the next game and Merritex is still on my team and I dont want to bench him. I PM RavenRaze and MacrosV1 notifying my send down *ONE HOUR BEFORE GAME*) after that my player is free to report to the minors game.

-Trades:
if and when trades happen involving Minors Prospects it all depends on whether or not the team they are going to is apart of the affiliation process.

(DO) if they do have a minors team, they are to be given to the minors team that acquired them should they be sent down.

(DO NOT) If they do not have a minors team then the player remains on the minors team until they are traded to a team with a minors team and if/when they are read above ^

IV. Post-Season
-Reports on what went right, what can be improved, and what should be removed.
-Report on the two affiliation committees
-Work on new contingency plans
-Final verdict on the affiliation commission.
