2024 SLN Reward Camps
Posted: March 30th, 2025, 5:52 pm
Reward Camps happen right before TC and are inputted manually by ashes. We're getting this thread posted now so people can start thinking about how they want to spend their camps.
Reminders:
You should aim to have these posted 1-2 days after the draft is completed. If you're not in the playoffs, you basically have a full week to get these posted, so PLEASE don't wait until the last minute! Remember, you can always post your first pass and then edit it as many times as you want up until ashes inputs the camps. I'd recommend posting your existing team's camps now while you have time, and then adding in any new draftees after the draft.
If you don't have any camps to post, post "NO CAMPS" so we can keep track of who we're waiting for.
Take a look at last year's camps thread for examples on the format! REMEMBER TO LIST PREVIOUS ATTRIBUTES CAMPED IN YOUR POSTS.
There will be a separate thread posted for NDL players - if you're wondering about where to put a guy, put him in the thread that corresponds to where he is right now. If you just drafted him and he's on your core roster, he goes in the SLN thread. If he was in the NDL last year and you plan to call him up this season but he's still on your NDL roster at the moment, he goes in the NDL thread. Do not list them here, but note how many total RP you are spending across both sets of camps in this thread. For example, at the bottom of your post below the RP total, put in parentheses (+XXRP for NDL camps).
Reward Camp Rules
Reward Camps take place right before Training Camp to simulate conscious improvements over the summer.
• A player who goes through normal camp progression (e.g., not supercamped) may be upgraded by up to 24 total points in his career, across all categories. No player is allowed to be upgraded by more than 8 total points in one singular category during his career.
• Players are limited to +8 in total upgrade points during each of their first four off-seasons (experience level: 0,1,2,3); they are limited to +6 in upgrade points in all off-seasons thereafter. In any individual off-season, you can distribute these points how you wish as long as you abide by all other guidelines!
• For players showing experience level 0,1,2 or 3 on their player page, upgrades cost 100 RPs per rating increase
• For players with 4 years of experience or more, upgrades cost 200 RPs per rating increase
• Once a player reaches 30-years-old, or 10+ years of experience, whichever comes first, he may not be eligible for upgrades.
Governing All Camps
-Attributes that have already reached the 85+ threshold in a rating may not be camped. When posting camps, all GMs must include a "backup" attribute should a player have an 85+ rating in a given category. If a player is close to this threshold, he will still receive his full camp (e.g., if you give a player with 83 jump shot a +6, he will be pushed to an 89 and not limited by the threshold itself). Upgrades will not be inputted if a player is over-85 and no backup attribute is given, so please be proactive if you plan on camping a guy with a really high letter rating.
-A team may not spend more than 6,400 RPs on Reward Camps for players in their system (SLN or NDL) in a given off-season.
Format:
PLAYER NAME:: +?? Attribute X, +?? Attribute Y, +?? Attribute Z

*Note to Ashes on what to camp in event your player has exceeded the 85-point threshold*
