Eligibility

On SHL Player Progression, Point Tasks are for the SHL players and send-downs only, players who are playing their rookie season in SMJHL have their own tasks available to them on SMJHL Player Progression. Each tasks specifies who they are not for. If you are unsure of which season (S**) your player is you can check that on portal, it is listed after your players name. Users will get no TPE for doing tasks they aren’t supposed to do.

As season swap happens before SHL draft, TPE checklist might show tasks the user is yet not eligible during the offseason after their rookie season in SMJHL.

Tasks and requirements

Most of the PTs are either prediction tasks or creative prompts that require users to write up to 150 words or create a graphic. Requirements like word count are listed on opening post for each PT. Graders can give less or no TPE if those requirements are not met or the submission is too low quality.

If user posts multiple replies to prediction tasks with proper answers only the last one will be graded.

Users who have PT pass, offseason pass (used to be called CW pass) or are to receive average TPE from PT based on site job they have, they will need to reply to thread before deadline to receive the TPE.

Wordcounter on site isn’t reliable as it doesn't recognize some characters and basically counting them as spaces splitting the words and inflating the number of words. It is advised to either use another word counter (for example wordcounter.net) or try to hit at least 160 words for 150 word tasks to ensure being over the required word count. Also note that copying the prompt from the opening post that isn’t included in the word count.

If graphic submission to PT cannot be viewed at the time of grading (for example if user links the image from Discord that only hosts images for limited time) user will not gain any TPE.

Using AI to write your submissions or create your graphics is forbidded. Any such submissions will receive 0 TPE and TPE from past PTs can be removed at later date if they are found out to be created by AI. Creating your own graphic using AI created assets is still allowed.

Schedule and Deadlines

For most PTs expected due date is about a week from them being posted. If any PTs fall behind on schedule their deadline will be moved accordingly. Exception to both are some prediction tasks which are tied to the sim or site schedule.

PT department uses PST for all the deadlines and threads are set to automatically lock at the deadline. For simplicity we use PST to reference both PST and PDT. Should there be issues with automod and thread closes early, users can post their submission on Chirper (or elsewhere) and send link to it to user who created the task. You should expect regular PTs and mPTs to be posted on Monday mornings and be due on Sunday 11:59 PM PST. Primetimes and Hattricks should be posted on Friday morning and be due on next Friday 9:00AM PST.
