Official REVscene Hockey Pool 2011/12 & 2012/13
 

So yeah

We are probably going to need at least 2 or 3 leagues again if we want to keep it down to 12 teams per league.

Yahoo have made it easier to set up the rules how you like them, so there are some things we should discuss.

For instance, many feel like the goalie stats need to be trimmed. Having saves AND save percentage, for instance, is redundant and gives goalies too much value. If a goalie gets a lot of WINS, he is going to have a good SV%, GAA, and SAVES so really, if anything, we only need to use the WINS category. Or maybe WINS and SAVES.

Also, do we still want to use the forward setup of C, RW, LW? We could do C + FORWARDS, or C + WINGERS.

For draft time, I suggest we do a Sunday afternoon draft. Or any time between and 7pm and midnight.. I got screwed last year since the draft was at 4am for me and I didn't make it.

We need to turn off the limit of trades and transactions, for those of us who got screwed by a bad draft.

Things like that we should discuss before putting everything together! I'll also use the first post to give details on where to join.

im down...
make sure im in the same pool as ghostrider, grandmaster tse and ch28 so i can kick their ass twice this year..like last season
hhhaaha

I'm up for joining. I'm against only having wins and saves. For instance, the goalies in DET/SJ get lots of wins, but don't usually have great GAA or SV%. I've usually played with GAA, SV%, WINS and SO, players stats are G, A, PPP, SHG, PIMS and HITS (occasionally). So goalie has one or two less cats than players.

in. So is officially head to head or points?

We usually do head to head

How about GAA, SV%, WINS... obviously if they get a SO, your other stats are going to be good.

down

Yeah, that's a good compromise and I like H2H. :thumbsup:

doesn't matter to me. I'll find a way to win. :fullofwin:

I agree with the limiting transaction numbers. It's just crazy how guys have the time to drop and pick up players just to get a couple extra games in for the week.

in

in, ya just have a weekly limit for transaction moves like 3 or 5 per week so the moves are usually legit like injuries, cold players and etc and not for the gain of the extra game played. anyone down for putting up a little buy-in money on the pools as well? obviously a trusted mod or something would hold the money not me.

THE CHAMP IS IN!

IN!!

I am in!

RS1 last yr was H2H - 8 player vs 6 goalie categories.

Blks last year made it interesting for D.

I agree we should have a limit for transactions. Even though I've used it to win before, brute force shouldn't be a strategy; it's lazy and shows no skill.

Keep 7seven or someone knowledgeable as commish. Nothing worse than spending a season on a pool and see someone try to cheat near the end.

I'm in this year

Skinny, everything is already setup on Yahoo, we just need to renew the RS1 and RS2 pools from last year. When you renew you can also tweak the categories and positions.

Current settings from last year

In for either pools.

I want in!

Check out Fantrax.com to make the pools.

I personally like it better than Yahoo or ESPN.
