In HEL,
I have a full enough roster, lines set etc...
but I have no link to run my 15 scrimmages. What am I missing?

As far as I know, there are no scrimmages in DEL hockey. I think it has to do
with the comlication of setting lines for a scrimmage...I remember getting an
explanation that made sense to me, I just don't remember what it was.

There are no scrimmages in DEL hockey ostensibly because we can not come to
enough of a consensus on how they are to run. Unlike football and basketball,
you cannot run a scrimmage of first-stringers against second stringers for
anything like an entire game. Some want meaningful game-level stats ("who are
my best scorers?" "who are chumps?"), some want meaningful line-vs-line stats
("how does this line do, with these particular settings?"), some presumably
want both.
It occurs to me that a compromise could be to run a game-level scrimmage of
your-team using your-current-orders against some composite team of (tier- or
league-appropriate) Bob-coached prototype players using 3s-across generic line
settings. Or just run a scrimmage of your-team against your-team, like the
normal-team-on-both-sides game scrimmage in football. But this might not tell
you very much, since line 1 for team-A vs line 1 for team-B is the same players
going up against exactly the same players presumably resulting in something
like a draw.

I was hoping I could jut go line vs line and guys wouldn't get tired.
I guess thats why there 6 pre-season games.
