2007-2008 NHL REGULAR SEASON HOCKEY POOL
Rules
1.
During the 2007-08 NHL regular season, participants in the pool
will pick one (1) team to win each Saturday that there is an NHL game being
played.
2.
There is no limit to the number of times you can pick a team, but
you can not choose the same team two (2) weeks in a row.
3.
Your pick must be submitted to the pool Commissioner, Thomas
Roberts, no later than 12 noon of each Saturday that there is a game to
following address: [email protected] (this
email link & the one on the front page works only if you have set up an
email account within your web browser).
In the subject line of the email, please type in “Hockey Pick Week X”
(Where X is the week number for that pick).
4.
A non-pick will be given a LOSS and a penalty of zero (0) points.
5.
An additional one (1) point will be award each week to every
member of a division, where their collective winning percentage is above fifty
(50%) percent. Therefore, to help your
fellow division members, make sure you submit a pick each week to increase your
divisions chance for winning the bonus point.
6.
Divisions will be created based on random selection and supervised
by the pool Commissioner and
7.
The person who accumulates the most points over the course of the
regular season will be considered the pool winner.
8.
In the instance of a tie, at any position in the standings and at
any time over the duration of the pool, please refer to the “Tie Breakers”
section below.
9.
$5 (five) dollar entry fee must be paid to the pool Commissioner
no later than 12 noon Friday, October 13th.
For those at the Chesswood office please give your fee to Frank. Anyone else interested at other off-site
locations please contact the pool Commissioner.
Scoring
Points will be awarded (added or subtracted from your total) based
on the differential in points of the final score of the game of the team that
you chose. Sound confusing? It really isn’t. Here are a couple of examples:
WIN EXAMPLE (points added): You picked PIT
to beat ATL. The final score is 6 to 2
for PIT. You would get 4 points added to your total score (6-2 = +4
points).
LOSS EXAMPLE (points subtracted): You picked
TOR to beat BOS. The final score is 5 to
4 for BOS. You would get 1 point subtracted from your total score (4-5 =
-1 point).
It’s as simple as that!
Prizes
- 70% of the total prize money.
Tie
Breakers
In the event that there are participants who are tied the
following shall be considered the order to break the tie:
a.

b.

decided by whoever has the most number of WINS in the highest differential
group. If still tied, the second highest

c.
Whoever has the longest WIN streak at any point during the pool.
