Nucks Misconduct Pool #4: For All The Marbles. Win A Canucks Jersey!

PrintFirst of all, has everyone that I emailed registered and joined Nucks Misconduct Fantasy Pool #3? The remaining spaces in that pool will now go (in order) to people that emailed me but have not received an ID and password.
Secondly, I am not going to hand out any prizes to the overall winner of Pools 1-3. I was debating sending a jersey to the winner of the Score Predicting Wizard contest but had another idea. I have created a Nucks Misconduct 4 pool over at Hockeydraft.ca. Read on...
Hockeydraft.ca provides an option of box picks for players and teams. I have edited those boxes and created several new ones, including an ex-Canuck box and several team boxes, where you can pick which team will win the most games. I don't want to dole out a prize for the first 3 Yahoo pools because, well, I don't like trades amongst teams. I don't want any chance of cheating in any fashion (even though it's tough to avoid regardless). Also, I prefer something low-maintenance as an admin as time is not something I have a lot of. In other words, I don't want to make an NM4 pool as a live draft with Yahoo, as I cannot create the league without having a team of my own involved.
The Hockeydraft pool will involve making a pick from each box and not being able to make any changes for the entire season. It is putting the onus on you to make the best (and luckiest) picks right off the bat and the winner takes it all at the end of the season. I will send the hero a Ryan Kesler home orca jersey (and hopefully not get screwed by a lousy second rate Chinese store on Ebay this time. Here's the rundown:
- 26 boxes of choices
- 1 point per player point
- 1 point for a goalie win and 2 points for a shutout (3 maximum points)
- 1 point per team win
- I'm not sure of the limit of participants in this event but it's a lot more than 20. I'd like to shoot for 50 or more if permitted. The cool thing about this is that all I'll have to do is give you a username and password and you do the rest of the work. I team entry per person.
So there is a bit of everything there. But before I go any further, please use the poll to let me know if you are interested. If there is enough interest I will post entry details SOON. I'd like to keep this to Canucks fans only.

26 separate boxes with 4 or 5 choices in each. In those 26 boxes there are choices of forwards, defencemen, goalies, teams. No combo. Teams and goalie boxes get wins for points

So the ex-Canuck box would be like pick one of Jovo, Bertuzzi, Grabner, or Auld? Or something like that for 25 more boxes?

Pool 3
Sean, I emailed you about pool 3 but didn’t hear anything back yet…are there still spots? If so, shoot me an email: awilke@gmail.com
As for this pool, it reminds me of the pools I used to run at my high school…basically they’re hard as hell to win, but I’m in anyways!
I'm in for sure
Don’t have time for the constant fantasy jockeying involved in a pool with trades. I love the pick from a box and stick with it approach – reminds me of my days of underage gambling in the Hockey News pool.

I love this kind of pool – the kind where you can stare at the other choices in the box that you didn’t take and swear loudly while drinking – “why the fcuk didn’t I take clutch Wellwood? why the hell did I take that perimeter player Grabner?”

OK so we are approaching 50 “yay’s”. I will post the directions on how to set up your team at hockeydraft tonight sometime.

Some people must be
vehemently against ticking boxes and waiting several months to see if they won a prize.

Someone who voted no
is probably going to end up playing and winning.

Kinda Like
…The hockey pools that will be showing up in newspapers soon, yeah? You know, the free version where you don’t get any trades, but can upgrade for just a little bit of cash…
Love to do it. Blind luck for injuries, but at least everyone has to deal with them.
I'm in...
First time getting involved… I normally play multiple pools, via yahoo or officepools, would like to join a yahoo pool through this club though, is there any available for us that are late to the gate?
Thanks, T-Man
