I don’t see an issue with any of our GMs allowing the sim to auto select their lineup. The issue is with the sim itself, in that it allows players to be selected out of position.
If we aren’t able to place our players “anywhere we like” it is ironic that the sim defaults to that logic. The only fix I see is either continue the current process w/o penalty, eliminate the availability to have players placed out of position, or accept a penalty for knowing players will be playing out of position.
Arguing about knowing it isn’t a realistic approach is just a waste of time. An executive decision sounds like was made, and we will move forward.

Arguing about knowing it isn’t a realistic approach is just a waste of time. An executive decision sounds like was made, and we will move forward. The original intent when the sim was built 10 years ago was to have a 10% penalty for playing a player out of position. In review I determined that the actual percent of penalty was significantly less than that. I have modified the code to accurately reflect the initial requirements (10%). The sim selecting players the way it does was because it was the simplest/easiest to code. My thought was I wasn't going to spend extra time developing a more elaborate method for filling in lineup holes in order to make guys who are absentee managers lives easier. My thought is the guys who check and update their lines as needed due to injury should be rewarded for their diligence. Also, when designed I never even considered that guys wouldn't submit a lineup at all and expect the sim to fill a lineup out for a team. At the end and as Chris says, an executive decision was been made to FIX that which was not working correctly.

Would it be possible to prevent 3-4 D playing on a penalty kill? 4 forwards on a PP is normal, but 3 D killing a penalty never happens.

Yes, I started reviewing this last night but didn't complete it yet.

...That being said, I would ask that teams that are using D in F positions on the PK adjust their lineup accordingly.

Now the the code is working properly I would have to say that the teams that dont set any lines are TANKING....

I am not so sure the code is working as designed. I just checked the website and saw Dale Weise was last nights star with a 3 goal night...

The code that allowed a coach to select a d-man to play on the PK in a forward position has been fixed.
If anyone has any issues with the lineup page, please let me know.

I have an issue with the line-up page. Apparently I need better players to plug into roster...

Our All star game will be held next Saturday 1/25. As Alaska has the PoW Conference well in hand, he will be asked to assemble that roster. Campbell will come down to either Boston or Halifax. Most points in the standings after this Friday's games will determine.

Will Alaska be required to actually set the lines for the All Star game?

Its up to the coaches discretion. Line-ups must be submitted prior to game time in the NHL, correct? So why is that not a rule in the GHL?
