Also, why read the rulebook, and ask for rule clarifications when you can just shrug and say you didn't know after 20+ seasons as a GM

I think that was already done by @ztevans maybe?

At this point I don’t care enough to punish people for something that hasn’t been enforced. It’s more on HO for dropping that ball, including past me who didn’t even think of it.

I’m more concerned with enforcing it from here on out OR eliminating waivers. It’s one or the other imo.

Nah we can enforce it now with any player currently in violation of this rule. We don't need to go back 5 seasons or something, but anyone currently in the SMJHL in violation of this rule should be called up and forced through the proper process. Those GMs should lose their pay for the season. That's all I think should happen. We just did the waiver thing at the start of the season with Buffalo, there's 0 (that's ZERO) excuse to be unfamiliar with the process.


As a separate comment, I think people overestimate the damage these punishments do. They are the equivalent of being sent to jail in Monopoly, having the thief placed on your tile in Catan, or getting sent home in Trouble. We don't need to be so scared of enforcing the rules of our game, so many franchises have even survived the death sentence of tampering, it'll be alright.
