ECL 4 Transfer Deadline

Good evening NHLGamers,

What? Transfer deadline? Yes, it's that time of the season again. Some members of the community were probably caught off-guard by it due to a shorter regular season. No need to worry!

As some of you may have already noticed, the staff has decided to extend the transfer deadline for ECL4 and give teams more time to fine-tune their rosters. The new transfer deadline is - 23:59 CET on March 12, 2017. This effectively means that this Sunday is the last day when teams are allowed to make any free agent signings and player transfers.

During this most frantic time for both players and captains, lets not forget that there are still certain rules regarding transfers and player signings that need to be followed.

--------------------------------------------------------------

10. Recruitment and transfers

The rules in this section only apply during a league/tournament.

The deadline for transfers is set to 23:59 CET on March 12, 2017.

Teams are allowed to recruit free agent members of NHL Gamer up until the trade-deadline. Both the player and team must mutually agree to being picked up from the free agents.

Teams are allowed to release a player from their roster, provided this doesn’t violate the roster minimum rule. Released players cannot go back to the team that released them and their next move is considered a transfer from the team that released them to their new team.

Team captains not allowed to transfer during a league/tournament. Team assistant captains are allowed to transfer in case the team captain agrees to a transfer. In case the team captain disagrees, an assistant captain is not allowed to be transferred to another team. This paragraph also applies if a team is not able to finish the tournament for whatever reason.

Regular players are allowed to transfer once per tournament from a team to another, unless the move would put their initial team under the 8-player limit.

Players are not allowed to transfer to a team they had previously left during a league/tournament.

Teams may add up to 3 transferred players for the duration of the league/tournament.

If a team is disqualified its managers are banned from the league/tournament. The other roster players are free to transfer to another team, unless they were proven involved in the disqualification of their team, in which case they are also banned.

--------------------------------------------------------------

IN SUMMARY:

• Transfer deadline - 23:59 CET on March 12, 2017.
• Free agents and teams need to mutually agree and update their roster on NHLGamer.com accordingly.
