It's still August, I know... NFL hasn't even started yet... but Yahoo! has put up their newest hockey offering. If you're interested in joining, reply back and I'll PM you the information.
I only really have three rules in pools I run. Try your best to show up for the draft (or tell me early that you can't make it), stay active in it and finally don't cheat.
This is a Yahoo! custom league with Head to Head scoring. Here's some more detailed information:

Max Teams: 10

Post Draft Players: Follow Waiver Rules

Stat Categories: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, W, GAA, SV%, SHO

If you want to change the draft time just let me know... but let me know soon as all the good times are going fast. Or, if you want different roster positions... anything... let me know. I bumped the trade deadline up because I find the closer it is to the end of the season, the greater the chance of people unloading their teams to help their buddy.
If we can get more than 10 people involved, I'll bump the team amount to 12. 12 is the maximum though.
If you're interested reply back! _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

I'm in, an 8PM live draft on the day before my birthday may well be problematic for me though, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet for it so don't change it on my accord, it's just as likely I'll be out on the 15th or 17th itself instead. _________________

I'll join, dunno how my work schedule will work out, but my pre rankings in a league last year left me with a team that was very good. _________________ Legendary Locke

Good stuff. I changed the time to Noon EDT (4 PM local time for PF). If that's still no good PF, let me know when you're free.
I'll be sending PM's right now _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

I hope so. We're still needing some players. So if you guys know anyone in your nations that are hockey fans... why not see if they want to join?
So far we have 5 teams (including myself). _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

We have 6 players now, which is the bare minimum. Hopefully we can get another 4 people to bring us to 10. _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

Hopefully, it would be best to have a couple more since it's never as much fun when everyone can almost pretty much draft a superteam, I like being forced to look for people who are on for breakouts. I've also never done a live draft so I'm liable to be rubbish first go and miss some gems.
That said people should be aware they don't have to be around for the live draft, there aren't so many people in this that an auto list, if you rewrite the basic one that Yahoo gives which is generally awful, won't get you a decent team together. _________________

I've never actually partook in a pool before, so I'll have to familiarize myself with the rules first. I'll let you know if it's something I can wrap my poor little brain around. _________________ • The Caffeine-Fueled Blogonomicon - Your Best Daily Source For Inappropriate Content. |

You learn as you go. I sure did. Most important rule, well maybe not most important, but all in all very important, don't just take players from your favorite team. That trick never works. Well, unless its baseball and they are the Mets or Yankees, but that would be a whole nother can of worms. Oh, and if it still was 1985, the Edmonton Oilers woulda been nice to have.
But you draft players and the more goals, assists and so on they get, the better you do. _________________ Legendary Locke

I agree with Locke, and as for 1985 Oilers having them would be cool. But other factors that always creep in are injuries,and what kind of momentum your selections are on going into the regular season from training camp.
+/- ratings can be a good tool to use,along with their usual stats,say Blasphemy what's our player count last i heard it was 6,anymore armchair nhl gms join in on our fun yet.
This my first on-line pool for hockey,but i've been in the odd regular one in the past,but like any pool luck plays a very big role in how well your season plays out,which rules are you trying to familiarize yourself to Delsaber,if it's pool rules Blasphemy could tell you.
Can you pm me for Saturday's draft on friday Blasphemy,so i'll can pop on-line when i'm suppose to,thanks in advance. _________________
