Fifth package underway, NOW!

We produce ratings for the FHL simm and will share them to those who ask for them. We have FHL drs packages
for 98-99, 99-00, 00-01, 01-02 and are now working on 02-03. We only ask that if you don't like our work then trash the files
and find ratings somewhere else. We don't have any tolerance for ingrats who leech off of others work and 
then publicly trash the product.

Current FHL roster package can be downloaded here: ghl0102.zip


 

   
Aug 5th, 2002 I have allot of questions on how to update a player database. Here is a short and dirty FAQ on the subject. Remember to always back up your files before applying any updates!

How to update a player database..  this assumes you already have a league setup.

June 28th, 2003 Due to personal/work time constaints, I regrettably wish to inform those who have been patiently waiting that the release will be delayed. I cannot complete the beta right now and it will be another 3-4 weeks until I shake enough time to finish them. I have started vacation and will not finish them until I get back from it.

I apologise to all who have relied on us to get these done quickly, however life's priorities have to come first. A package will be completed for 2002-3 but at the moment its been delayed.

I thank those who have been very supportive, I also ask that checking this site to be the way to find out the status of the ratings in the future. I have received countless emails each day since May asking when the ratings will be done or asking how to do ratings. The burden of answering each one is beginning to make the process non-pleasant. I just can't reply to every question and email. I have kept a list of everyone who has inquired and will email all when a package is ready.

June 4, 2003 Beta 1 will be available Mon June 16th
April 27th, 2003 Basic Ratings Process
1- Compile player database with 2003 stats
2- Rough in subjective ratings & vitals
3- Complete Beta goalie ratings
4-Create Beta 1 and do all reviews (reviewers will do full package review)
5-Create Beta 2 based on reviews
6-Review again and Final Beta
7-Compile drs and mail out
April 27th, 2003 The process this year with team assignments will be different, I have found it very difficult to get consistency between many raters, therefore a full rating will be done by a small group I will pick then we will open the process to review and adjust ratings based on that process. This will also help speed up the process.
April 20th, 2003 Ryan Barkhouse and Neil Parker will start the rough draft of ratings all goalies.
April 20th, 2003 Project team being put together now.. We hope to have ratings out by end May.
This ratings project is for the FHL hockey simmulator. It was created using very similar methods of the FRSC (FHL ratings and statistics council 1999). This version of the drs file is being developed from scratch by a team people representing many leagues and interests. Coordination of the project is managed by the GHL (Global Hockey league). The GHL supports cooperative ventures like this and wishes to thank everyone for their time and effort.

The primary objective of the project is to provide a consistent approach to ratings using standard calculations where possible, related to a players actual NHL stats. We wish to be able to produce a package that has some trace ability to a uniform approach and repeatability from year to year. We don't claim to be perfect and acknowledge all of those who do ratings as it is often a thankless job. There are many methods to rate players if you don't like ours, we certainly don't mind you not using them!
