Status "VAC" during Playoffs

maikgianino · 04-23-2018, 11:35 PM

Hello everyone.

My whole team is under Status "VAC" during SPHL playoffs.
Does this affect my team or anything? They do play the games though, not as good as they should considering the opponents. But we are in the semifinals anyway

Just want to make sure that this is not an issue or affecting my team.

Edit: Just got destroyed home 0 - 7 and eliminated. Not sure if this status was in the previous games or now though but now I'm worried.

When exactly did they get the VAC status? Are any other teams in the league like that? That normally doesn't happen until the team's season ends (i.e., missed the playoffs or eliminated from them.) It shouldn't affect their performance, but it also shouldn't be happening to an active team. We may need to see the save.

I noticed that after first game of the semi finals against Macon Mayhem since I got one player injured and when made the changes noticed the VAC status. After we got eliminated at home 0 - 7 checked Macon's players were also under the same status and the other players from the other teams in the semi finals were VAC too. Also one of the goalies from playoff teams was INT, was the only one without VAC.

Sounds like the SPHL end-of-season trigger is happening before it should - a player shouldn't be leaving for international play when their team is still playing. I'll try a test game and see if I can figure out why that's happening.

Thank you very much. I'm about to start the second season so when playoffs will let you know if VAC status continues. Thanks before hand!

I have also experienced this in the SHL. Didn't experience it the first couple of seasons, but somewhere around 2020-2021 this happened to several players.

Same issue in the second season playoffs. I'm in January of the third season, once I reach playoffs (I hope so, this season is tough haha) I will update again.
