2015 Re-Rates
Re-Rates are an opportunity for GMs to argue their case if they feel that the ratings don’t accurately reflect the strengths of their players. GMs are in no way obligated to submit Re-Rate arguments, but the option is there for any GM to use.
Limitations
GMs may submit arguments to change up to four individual ratings, for no more than two different players. You can chose to use all four on one player, split them up three and one or two and two between two players or you can chose to argue for fewer than four ratings. Only individual ratings (SC, DF…etc) may be changed. Do not ask for your player’s OV to be changed as OV is just an average of all the other ratings.
Arguments
At their base, arguments must provide two key factor:
a. The statistical proof demonstrating that your player is underrated, and
b. The comparable players whose ratings you feel better reflect your player’s actual ability
Statistical Proof
All arguments must be fact based and require statistical evidence. Both traditional and advanced statistics were used to determine these ratings so feel free to use them when arguing your case. If you use traditional counting stats (goals, assists, points, blocked shots…etc) ensure that you convert them to “per-game” statistics for an accurate comparison. If you are using unconventional statistics to attempt to argue a rating without definitive statistics (perhaps using Power Play time and Shootout attempts to prove Puck Handling ability) please include an explanation as to why that stat reflects that ability.
Some ratings are straightforward (SC pretty much equals Goals per Game) and some are a little more broad (DF can be proved by using +/-, PK Time on Ice, Blocked Shots, Turnovers, Zone Start%). The more relevant stats you have, the stronger your case.
If you are unsure of what statistics to use, feel free to contact Dallas Stars GM Joe, as he is the one who compiled these ratings.
Comparable Players
Once you have your stats compiled, you need to demonstrate that other players with similar stats where rated better than your player. This ensures that your player was indeed rated unfairly rather then it just being a case of your feeling that the rating should have been higher. You should use at least two comparable players, though the more comparables you have, the stronger your case will appear (in principle).
Example Argument
Wayne Gretzky – SC rating of 84
Gretzky: 64GP, 30G, 0.47GPG
Lemieux: 53GP, 25G, 0.47GPG, SC rating on 91
Hull: 82GP, 38G, 0.46GPG, SC rating of 90
Mogilny: 82GP, 39G, 0.48GPG, SC rating of 92
Based on these arguments, we request that Gretzky’s SC be rerated to 91
Submitting re-rates
I will be the arbitrator making the decision on all re-rates. Please submit your arguments directly to me, either via PM or via email (andre_c_deblois@hotmail.com). Once I have made the decision, I will inform you of the result of your request and, if the rating needs to be changed, will submit it to Wolf for it to bee updated in the sim. There is no guarantee that your re-rate argument will result in a better rating, but the decision will include the reasoning why.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the thread or to PM them to me.
