The Procedure
To vote for a city to host the event, go to the poll that will be posted on the Websim page. Be aware that because WSH has limits on the number of answers that can be attached to a poll, it will be divided into four parts.
In addition to the location for the game, the players who make up the two teams will be decided by votes of the general managers. Websim Hockey’s polls feature will be used to select the host city, but NOT to choose the team rosters for three reasons:
• There is no way to tell if GMs voted for their own players.
• Also, if the instructions say “Vote for 3 at each position,” and someone votes for 4 or 5 or 6, there is no way to go back to that GM to have him correct the vote(Limiting the vote to 1 per position would probably not fill out a lineup if there is one clear choice.)
• And there is no way to have weighted voting, for example, 5 points for your first choice, 3 for your second and 1 for your third.
So the voting procedure will be the same as it was in the past, with GMs sending their ranked choices to the commissioner. More on that below.
Here’s how the all-star event will work:
Date: The event will be held on a weekend announced by the commissioner.
Location: GMs vote on where they would like the game to be held.
Rosters: Voting on all positions will become available once the nominees and statistics are posted. The commissioner will post relevant statistics for all positions on the league forum page as well as the blog at https://eurohockeyleague.wordpress.com/ General managers will have about 14 days to vote for theirtop 3 at each position (top 5 defensemen) in each conference. Voting will be done through a Google Formssurvey. Four or five players at each forward position will be selected for each conference team. 8defensemen and 3 goalies will also be selected. GMs may not vote for their own players.An announcement of the final all-star roster will be made within 2 days of the final position vote. All-starswith the highest LD rating will be considered in the naming of captains for the squads. The commissioner will add a player from any team which did not place a player on the team so that every team gets some representation in the game.
Coaches: The coaches for each conference team will be named by a panel of one league official.
Skills competition: The EURO’s fastest skater, hardest shot, and most accurate shooter will be decided the day before the all-star game. The commissioner will take a player from each team’s pro roster for each of the 3 competitions. The player with the highest (SP) rating will be entered in the fastest skater contest; the player with the highest (ST+SHO) will vie for hardest shot; and the highest (SHO+PA+FI) will compete for most accurate shooter. Since chance is involved in any game, their totals will be multiplied by a random number between 95 and 100 to determine the outcomes. Winners get no money, but they do get glory and their names in the paper.
The game itself: The commissioner will use the all stars’ stats from the regular season games played closest to the all-star game to produce a box score. Total plus-minus and the goalies’ performances will be used to determine the winner of the game. It won’t be an exact science thing, but which ever conference’s all-stars perform better that weekend will win the game. Goal scorers and assist getters from the regular season games will be thrown onto a spreadsheet and a random number generator will determine who scored and assisted in the all-star game. If a player scores a hat trick in their regular season game, he would have his name appear on the spreadsheet extra 3 times. Players who did not score in their regular season games will have a chance to score, but not as great of a chance, so it’s possible an all-star who didn’t score in a week could score in the all-star game.
Player of the game: The commissioner will select a player of the game. He will win a car made by a European car manufacturer and his photo will appear in the game story.
