Fantasy Olympic Hockey anyone?

By andrew21nz on Feb 5 2010, 12:11p 21

Now I'm guessing because it's so short websites aren't running fantasy pools for the Olympics so if people are keen we could run our own. I found some ideas of how it could be run and wouldn't mind running it myself. The easiest way is probably to score 1 point for a goal and one for an assist (could chanage to 2 for a goal, but I think 1's fair).

Then there's the choice of system (copied from Yahoo fantasy page):

1. Pick any 10 skaters

2. Take five from each of the three Olympic groups

3. Pick any 15 skaters, but you can’t take more than one from any NHL team

4. Pick one skater from each of the 12 teams in the Olympic tournament

5. Pick any 10 skaters, with their total NHL points from this season capped at 500

6. Pick 15 skaters: 10 from the NHL and five from Europe

I quite like the 5th one, while the 6th one isn't great for people like me that don't follow hockey in Europe.

I'll add a poll but if you're keen we could get this going :)
