Official 2010 NHL Playoff Pool

[Aidan]

I'll be handing the draft this year and its been decided that we will keep everything the exact same as last year; with the exception that a maximum of 2 teams per person is allowed.

Buyin will be $50. I'm not sure what the exact fees will be yet to use PoolExpert.com. However, will cost a little bit more because us affiliates prefer real time stats.

Would you guys rather pay $50 + fees or take the fees out of the total prize pool?

You will have to send me your team at aidan{a}ajw.ca at LEAST 3 hours before the first game being played. I will enter my teams in before opening any email. If there is any problem with this I can work something out with Jeremy to prove that there isn't any collusion.

Jeremy offered to handle the payments. So we will need his input as to where the money is going.

Details::

12 forwards
6 defense
2 goalies


Points:

Goals = 2
Assists = 1
Goalie win = 1
Shutout = Bonus 2 points

70% for first

I think the fees are $2/person up to a max of $30 + $15 if we want live stats for the pool. Otherwise the update happens in the early morning.

I vote to keep it simple and just take the fees out of the prize pool.

[Gydian]

I think last year we just took it outta the prize pool. I'd say that's likely the simplest and best option.

[Jeremy]

Yea keep it simple, just make it $50 and we can take the fees out of the prizepool. What is the date of the first game? I'll get an email out to everyone so people don't miss out.

Likewise, you can send the $50 to me on paypal jeremy@jeremyenke.com. I can also do a FT transfer if need be.

On a side note, It's going to be awesome watching the Blackhawks win the cup this year.

[KevinMcC]

Yup outta the prize pool is good.

When you say we have to send you our team does that mean we don't enter it anywhere you will manually do that?

[CK]

Jeremy - shipping you my money now - and you really should have a second team entered, a back up in case the blackhawks fail again

Kevin - that's correct - Aidan will enter them like we did last year.

[KevinMcC]

J - Shipped you the money ($100 for two entries).

Aidan - Will e-mail you my two entries Sunday night or Monday afternoon.

So, are there any SPECIAL ADDED PRIZES (J...?)?

When is the deadline to pay and pick?

Thanks!

[Aidan]

Corp, NHL will be releasing the official schedule tonight. Looks like the first games will start Wednesday. I have to assume that the first game will be played at 7pm EST - which means, money will have to be transferred to J and picks be sent to me by at least 3pm EST.
