thanks

* a player that meets criterion a) but fails to meet both b) and c) will be made a winger upon his GM request

Two categories of centers are eligible for an early update during the season:
- centers whose FOR was <.4 in the previous season
- rookies ..

Once these players will have played their 26th game of the season, GMs will have the chance to ask for an early update of their position: if FOR<.3 the Center will be moved to W.
GMs will have a limited window to apply for the early update: from 26 to 29 gp; if the request is posted in this thread after the player has reached 30gp it won't be taken into consideration and the player will remain a C at least until the ASB.
If the player happens to reach the 26gp mark after the All Star break, he won't be eligible for a new update. i.e. ASB updates will be final.

kyuss wroteCOLON GP specifics
IF the player played less than 26 regular season games for his final team and doesn't meet a) nor b), the following exceptions apply:
....
- if he was a rookie, his position will stay the one it was when he was drafted (source: http://www.nhl.com/ice/draftsearch.htm? ... 10&round=1). If he was listed with dual position, he will start his BBKL career as a winger.

- early updates
Two categories of centers are eligible for an early update during the season:
- centers whose FOR was <.4 in the previous season
- rookies (to be precise: centers who played less than 26 games the previous season and never reached 40 gp in one NHL season; i.e. centers whose position is still determined off nhl.com draft lists, or off CBS for undrafted players).
Once these players will have played their 26th game of the season, GMs will have the chance to ask for an early update of their position: if FOR<.3 the Center will be moved to W.

he is a veteran and doesn't appear on the list -> W unless there is a mistake.

4th on the team, but 320<470 AND FOR=320/1205.5=0.265 < 0.3
=> exception applies and he is indeed a winger.

hockeysense wroteCOLONI thought about the debate in this thread, and I'm more curious as to why there's no dual eligibility for guys who play the wing, but take face-offs as well. What's problematic is that there's no indication that there's an impetus to remain as flexible as the game play.

I propose the following solution:
3-4 centre spots
6-7 winger spots
1-2 forward spots

The forward spot will be taken up by players who play the wing/centre. This allows for teams to treat them as players who have dual-eligibility, while paring down the number of centres/wingers one can hoard, while making certain players more "valuable" as they can take up a spot as a dual-player rather than a low-tier centre/winger.

Here's an example of a centre by BBKL definition, but a right winger by NHL definition:

GMs' appeal:
Once the list gets submitted, everyone will have the right and time during the off-season to apply for a change if they realize we had a player's position wrong (on his or others' team) under the aforementioned criteria. He will have to post the correct FOR in the dedicated thread asking for verification. If he is right the position will be fixed accordingly.
