2007-2008 FREE NHL REGULAR SEASON HOCKEY POOL

 

Rules

 

1.     During the 2006-07 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 will be an upper ‘pick’ cap on the number of times a team can be selected; three (3) picks maximum.  There will not be a lower cap on team selection.   If a team is picked more than 3 times it will be considered a non-pick.

3.     It is up to the individual to submit their own pick unless a previous arrangement has been made with the pool Commissioner.

4.     Your pick must be submitted to the pool Commissioner, Shawn Dickie, 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 #”.

5.     A non-pick will be given a LOSS and awarded zero (0) points.

6.     The person who accumulates the most points over the course of the regular season will be considered the pool winner.

7.     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.

 

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.  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).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bonus Points

 

An additional one (1) point will be awarded weekly to each member of a division when ALL members of a division win their own game.  Therefore, to help your fellow division members, make sure you submit a pick every week to increase your division’s chance for winning the weekly bonus point.

 

 

 

Prizes

Since its going to be free, BRAGGING RIGHTS are all that I have to offer.  The reigning champion is Jason Waechter.

 

 

Tie Breakers

 

In the event that there are participants who are tied the following shall be considered the order to break the tie:

 

a.     The fewest number of ‘NON’ picks.

b.     The total number of points less the total number of bonus points.

c.     The total number of WINS.

d.     The person who has highest differential WIN.  If there is still a tie, the winner will be the person with the most occurrences of the highest differential WIN.  If still tied, repeat above with the next highest differential WIN…and so on… 

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