More Researchers Needed

JeffR · 07-16-2013, 06:02 PM

I'm not thrilled about having to do this so close to the release date, but the list of active researchers has thinned out to a point where I'm getting worried about the state of a couple of the playable-at-release leagues. And I'd also like to have as strong a group of researchers as possible when we open editing up to the userbase at large, as I mentioned a few days ago. So, back to recruiting. We need researchers to help with the following leagues/countries:

ECHL
OHL
WHL
Slovakia
Switzerland
Denmark
Austria
Italy
Norway
CHL (Central League, not the Canadian one)
FHL
Any CJAHL leagues except the NOJHL, CCHL, MHL, and LHJAAAQ
USHL
NAHL (the US junior one, not the LNAH)

Those are the leagues, roughly in order of priority, that need research help and are either playable or could potentially become playable in the near future. I'd also accept volunteers for Australia, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Poland, and Ukraine, but I'd prefer filling the other leagues first.

Please, though: anybody coming aboard now needs to be ready to work on the research immediately and regularly for the next couple of months, with a minimum of hand-holding. You'll be working on roster updating and player ratings only, but trust me, that's no small amount of work. You'll get a research guide and have access to the research forum where you can ask questions if you need help, but I don't have the time to walk everyone through the process individually. And we can't wait for people who won't be ready to work until September.

So, if you've read that and still want to help out, respond in this thread and let me know (very) specifically what you'd like to work on - "I'll help with anything" is nice, but will probably get ignored in favour of offers that are a little more focused. I may not have time to respond to everyone, but I will read all the responses, and appreciate any help that's offered. If you offered to help before and didn't get selected, please try again if you have the time to spare right now.

I would prefer to research either one of these leagues, very familiar with them.

Nino33 · 07-16-2013, 06:21 PM

I'd like to do the WHL.

It'll be 7-10 days before I can really give it 100% of my attention as I'm in the final stages before the release of version 3 of my 1974 database for EHM (but I'll start work on it immediately, and get myself "up to speed" ASAP).

While I'm no WHL expert (yet! HaHa) I'm very experienced at researching and have a proven work ethic.

danny111 · 07-16-2013, 07:30 PM

I can help with slovakia

RiderLAK · 07-16-2013, 07:38 PM

I'm interested in looking into the ECHL, WHL and OHL.

Could you message me as to what needs doing exactly?

hockeyfanatic · 07-16-2013, 07:41 PM

I agree I also would like to know exactly what I need to do

jbreiner · 07-16-2013, 07:48 PM

I could work on CHL (Central Hockey League not Canadian Hockey League)

maidenutah · 07-16-2013, 07:49 PM

I can help with the western conference of the ECHL. Since there is no inter-conference play, I never get to see the east play, however.

scafe18 · 07-16-2013, 07:56 PM

I'd love to do the MJHL, SJHL, AJHL and BCHL!!

Contact me at dustin@onefm.ca or scafe18@gmail.com and we can arrange what is needed!

I also have fellow radio broadcasters in these leagues who would be willing to contribute.

Thanks,

Dustin

I'm one of those broadcasters. I work in the BCHL as a play by play announcer. alexrawnsley@gmail.com. Would enjoy helping out for the BC league.

Kain27 · 07-16-2013, 08:58 PM

I would be interested in helping out, particularly with the ECHL or OHL. However If those are taken I'd gladly take a less popular one.

Gorane · 07-17-2013, 05:33 AM

I would be more than willing to help out with the Norwegian league

If you still need someone for the swiss leagues, I would be very pleased to contribute to the FHM project.

...to be more specific, i would be able to update the rosters of all swiss based teams and if needed, i could also assist you with rating players in the swiss natonal league A.

Jim Fisher · 07-17-2013, 09:11 AM

I volunteer to do Austria. I live in Germany and can read German.

I'll do Denmark since no one else has it. I'd also be interested in helping with the Swedish Division 1 if that would be able to be made playable.
