HFNHL 2023-24 Ratings Challenges
Did you get ripped off by the latest STHS Ratings pack? Does your star forward have hands of stone? Is your hard-rock blueliner a paper tiger? Here’s your chance to make things right: it’s Ratings Challenge time!
Each team may challenge a total of up to 4 ratings. These can be applied across one or more players. OV can not be challenged.
Note that Goalie challenges are somewhat complicated, in that you can challenge the skill ratings (SK, AG, RB, SC, HS, RT and PH) as a group. Otherwise, the other 6 goaltender ratings (DU, EN, SZ, PS, EX and LD) can be challenged like normal skater ratings.
You can request an increase of up to 8 points in a given rating (to keep the integrity of the ratings package). So for example, if you want to challenge your player's 65 DF, the maximum that you can ask for is a 73 DF.
Please make sure your ratings challenges are well researched and worthwhile. A successful ratings challenge is likely to be built around stats, scouting reports, or well researched player comparisons. Comparing ratings to previous year's ratings packages isn't likely to get you a successful challenge.
For your reference, here is the breakdown of what statistics are used to compile this ratings pack.
