8. Stats
Scoring is done on a weekly basis and all numbers in the following formulas are to be considered the player and/or teams numbers for the week.
Position players receive points in the following categories:
Goals, Assists and Adjusted +/-
1 point per goal
.6 points per assist
Adjusted +/- =
0.26 *((player +/- -((((team +/- * 4.95)/((team gp * 18) – player gp)) * player gp))
where all the player and team numbers are numbers for the week.
Goalies will reduce a teams point just as they do in real life. All goaltenders start with 0 points and their score is determined as follows:
(Save % -1) *145
Each team must specify a certain percentage of its goalie points to come from each goaltender. The maximum % a goalie can carry is 75%. If neither goaltender plays during the week then the team is credited with a Save % of .800.
EXAMPLE
Goalie % Assigned Shots Saves
Goalie 1 70 35 31
Goalie 2 30 67 65
Team Total = (0.7 * 31 + 0.3 * 65) =41.20 /
(0.7 * 35 + 0.3 * 67) =44.60 = .924
A team’s goalies cumulative games played must be greater than or equal to 2. If a team’s goalies cumulative games played is not greater than or equal to 2, that team will be assigned a Save % of .800 for the week.
The players on a team will be placed on lines and their stats shall be weighted accordingly. For forwards, there will be 4 lines. Each line will default to 25%. The maximum value for a line can be 35% while the lowest value can be 15%. The extra line must be the lowest value of all 4 lines (or tied for lowest value). The players’ scores will be computed by dividing the line percentage by 25 and multiplying their stats for the week by that number.
EXAMPLE
Player 1 posting a week of :
1G, 3A + .2 at 35% would currently give a score of 3.0 (1 + 1.8 +0.2). Under the line format, Player 1’s score would be:
((1 * 1.4) + (1.8 * 1.4) + (0.2 * 1.4)) – (1.4 + 2.52 + .28) = 4.2
For defensemen there will be 3 lines and the default value is 33%. The maximum line value is 45% and the minimum value is 20%.
A goaltender will not be eligible to be listed at the “extra” position. A player declared as a goaltender can only be listed as a goaltender.
If a player is active and hasn’t played for 2 full weeks, the 3rd active week he will be assessed penalty points if he does not play.
The same rules apply to a goaltender and the penalty for a goaltender is that he will be assigned 28 shots and 22.4 saves for 2/3 of his NHL team’s games played for the week.
All rosters for a week are to be set before the start of the first NHL game of the scoring week. Any transactions must be reported to the league by posting them on the league web site or via email.
A player’s statistics will be compiled for each week, but will not affect a team’s performance in those weeks where the player is not on the active 20-man roster.
In the case where a team submits a weekly roster which does not have the lines add up to 100%, the following criteria for altering the percentages will be applied:
If the total exceeds 100% and the week is underway when discovered, then subtract the offending amount from the top line until it reaches the minimum value of 15%. If the percentage still exceeds 100% then the second line begins having percentage subtracted in the same manner. This continues until 100% is reached.
Ex: Lines given are 35%, 30%, 25%, 25% for a total of 115%. Since 15% needs to be removed it is subtracted from the top line, which gets reduced in value to 20%. The resulting line percentages are: 20%, 25%, 25%, 20%.
If a team is at 100% but exceeds the maximum value for a line, use the maximum value but do not add the rest anywhere. The result will be a total under 100%.
Ex: Lines given are 40%, 25%, 20%, 15% for a total of 100%. The top line would be reduced to the maximum of 35% but the 5% would not be redistributed. The resulting line percentages are 35%, 25%, 20%, 15% for a total of 95%.
If a team is under 100%, no penalty is applied, but correction can not be made.
Ex: Lines given are 30%, 30%, 20%, 15% for a total of 95%. This stays as is.
If a team is under the minimum for a line, subtract from the top line the amount needed to get the line to the minimum.
Ex: Lines given are 35%, 30%, 25%, 10% for a total of 100%. However 10% is below the 15% minimum allowed. The needed 5 % is taken from the top line. The resulting line percentages are 30%, 30%, 25%, 15%.
If there is an error in scoring, the error must be found and the official scorer notified by Noon Monday, 2 weeks from the time of the error. Any error found after this 2 week period will be considered irreversible. During playoffs and at the end of the regular season when playoff matchups are determined, any error must be found and brought to the attention of the scorer within 72 hours. Any error not discovered before all rosters for the next round are submitted will be considered irreversible.
