HLS2 Rerate Theory The following is a suggested Rerate Process ONLY. I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for how your individual players may or may not Rerate. If any GM can offer further information/observations regarding the HLS2 Rerating process, please do! David Easton, TWHL Commissioner Rerates generally occur with 8 or more games played. I have not found a player who has played 7 or less games rerate. HOWEVER, rerating IS NOT guaranteed, as I have found many players with above 8 games played who DID NOT rerate. (the highest GP so far being 64, with NO rerate, with many players in the 10's and 20's). Rating Values for Pa, PC, and Sh Rating Value Requirement Value Sh 9 PCT 14.5 "" 8 "" 13.0 "" 7 "" 11.5 "" 6 "" 10.0 "" 5 "" 8.5 "" 4 "" 7.0 "" 3 "" 5.5 "" 2 "" 4.0 "" 1 "" 2.5 Pa 9 Ass 45 "" 8 "" 40 "" 7 "" 35 "" 6 "" 30 "" 5 "" 25 "" 4 "" 20 "" 3 "" 15 "" 2 "" 10 "" 1 "" 5 PC 9 Sh 210 "" 8 "" 185 "" 7 "" 160 "" 6 "" 135 "" 5 "" 110 "" 4 "" 85 "" 3 "" 60 "" 2 "" 35 "" 1 "" 10 So, for example, if a player is rated 7 in Sh, and ends the season with a shooting % of 13.0% or better, he will rerate to an 8 in Sh. If a player is rated 6 in Pa, and ends the season with 29 assists or less, he will rerate to a 5 in Pa. PC are suggested approximate numbers, and seem sometimes to differ for defensemen. PC rerates on TWO factors: Shots On Goal, and (+/-) stats. A player with a (+) rating will increase PC +1, and a player with a (-) rating will decrease PC -1. This works in conjunction with the above table. However, like all categories, PC will only increase/decrease by 1 rating point max. For example: Current PC Shots (+/-) PC Rerate Shots (+/-) 8 125 +11 stay the same -1 +1 8 125 -5 -1 -1 -1 6 140 +34 +1 +1 +1 6 140 -17 stay the same +1 -1 7 172 +16 +1 even +1 7 172 -21 -1 even -1 9 225 0 stay the same even even 8 225 0 +1 +1 even 9 187 0 -1 -1 even 7 112 +15 -1 -2 +1 3 148 -2 +1 +3 -1 No category can change more than +/- 1 during a rerate. So, if your player has 5 in Sh and his PCT is 15%, he would go to 6 only (even though 15% is a 9 rating value). He would go to 6 even if he had PCT of 10.0% (the actual requirement for 6). If a player has a total of +3 or more between the three categories of Sh/Pa/PC, he will rerate ACROSS THE BOARD by +1 in each of the following categories: Qk, Pw, Fa, In, Sk, Ch. The following categories rerate INDEPENDENTLY of an ACROSS THE BOARD rerate: Ag, Pn, Pa, PC, Sh. For example: A player ends the season with stats that are +2 in Pa, -1 in PC, and +2 in Sh. (+2 + -1 + +2 = +3) Therefore, he will rerate in every category +1 (except PC, where he will rerate -1) -or- A player has +2 in Pa, and +2 in Sh, but he has -1 in PC. And he has 250 PIM. Well, his Ag will +1(or remain as 9), his Pn will -1(or remain as 1), his PC will -1, and the rest is +1. Conversely, for a player to re-rate DOWN across the board, he must be a minimum of -3 total in the three categories other wise he will re-rate down in just the particular category he is minus in, and again only 1 ratings point, even if he is statistically -2 in that category. Stats per Game are NOT a factor (if a player scores only 25 assists, but does it in JUST 10 GAMES played, the assists per game ratio, though GREAT, doesn't matter. Any player with a rating of 0 in any category(s) at the end of the season will see that value automatically re-rate to 1, to start the following season. Artur says: I have NEVER seen PW, Fa, Qk, Sk, Ch, change on its own. (so far, this seems to be the case) PIM's – PIM affects both Ag and Pn ratings. The rating values are reverse for each category, based on PIM: PIM's Ag Pn 0-49 1 9 49-74 2 8 75-99 3 7 100-124 4 6 125-149 5 5 150-174 6 4 175-199 7 3 200-224 8 2 225-above 9 1 So, depending on the ratings of each category, you may see Pn & Ag both go up, or both go down, stay even, one up one even, etc. Ag and Pn change INDEPENDENTLY from an "across the board" change. Examples: Before After Ag Pn PIM Ag Pn 6 8 134 -1 -1 4 3 158 +1 +1 5 7 87 -1 even 8 2 278 +1 -1 etc. The above figures seem to be pretty accurate guidelines. If you find any discrepancies in any of the figures, let us know! We are continuing investigations into the rerate process, and welcome more information. There does seem to be the very rare anomaly to the above guidelines.
