S16/17 OFF-SEASON : HIFL SCOUTING COMBINE MECHANICS

[Talon]

The HIFL Scouting combine has long been seen as a way to prep yourself to find the diamonds in the rough who slipped under the radar and avoid the landmine busts who have been touted as first round picks;  a chance to dig deeper into the mental side of prospects to learn about their work ethic, their values, and to seek out any possible red flags that could make them a headache down the road.

This season's scouting combine will be structured as follows:


S16/17 POSITION COMBINE ($1MM PER POSITION)

Choose a specified number of positions ($1MM each) and receive the following information

• Top player at three traits (Strength, Agility, Arm Strength, Accuracy, Speed,  IQ, Tackling, Endurance, Hands, Run Blocking, Pass Blocking, Kick Power, Kick Accuracy)
• Top 5 "overall" players (w/ current star rating) OR  "Round Mock" (players mocked to be drafted in the round selected without rating) (this could result in 0 players if the mock has no players at that position being drafted in that round)

Along with the position information; teams will have the opportunity to gain other information if they would prefer.   Athletic Drills will take place and if you would prefer to gain raw athletic information you can choose from the following options:

ATHLETIC DRILLS ($1MM PER EVENT)

• 40 Yard Dash (Top 20 fastest players in the draft class)
• 3 Cone (Top 20 highest agility ratings)
• Bench Press (Top 20 Strongest players)
• 20-Yard Shuttle (Top 20 O/D Linemen speed)

COACH ANALYSIS ($500K PER PLAYER)

Your coaches are watching the drills obviously, but if you want them to focus in on a prospect and start to determine their work ethic, their competitiveness, their leadership, Disposition, Sportsmanship, and/or their ability to be a team player this is where you get that information.   Tasking your coach to watch and evaluate a players intangibles will allow you to reveal each of those ratings to better help you decide if he is a fit for your organization, including any other red flags or player tags the player may have.



PLAYER INTERVIEW ($1MM PER PLAYER)

When you opt to conduct a player interview you will receive the following information: 

• How Important Salary is to the player.
• How Important Long Term security is to the player.
• How Important GM reputation is to the player
• How Important A winning history is to the player
• How Important Starting / Playing Time is to the player.
• How Important proximity to home is for the player.
• How Important marketing opportunities are to the player.

There is a maximum of $10MM in combine spending in any combination per GM/Team.

There is no entry fee -- the prices above are the only prices you have to pay.

When you LO you do not have to detail the spending beyond "team X spends $Y on the Scouting Combine"


YOU MAY ONLY SPEND ONE-TIME ON THE COMBINE, YOU CAN NOT PIECE TOGETHER YOUR SPENDING (OTHER THAN PLAYER INTERVIEWS).  ALL SPENDING MUST BE DONE IN ONE L.O. POST.   ALL COMBINE DETAILS MUST BE PM'D IN ONE MESSAGE.

For Player Interviews, you may submit player interview requests separate after you've seen your combine results if you want more details.

[Talon]

YOU MAY SUBMIT YOUR COMBINE SCOUTING REQUEST PM AND LEAGUE OFFICE YOUR SCOUTING COMBINE MONEY AFTER 1800 HRS EASTERN TIME ON TUESDAY AUGUST 1ST.

[Talon]

You can do traditional scouting on draft/combine prospects still like normal, but you can only do combine tasks in one PM.
