    Default Best site for play-off hockey pool

    Am considering doing officepools but they don't have a treasurer. Has anyone ever did a playoff hockey pool through fantrax? Am thinking something around this structure ...

    Option #1
    $20-$30 USD
    Pick ANY 13 players
    Minimum 3 defence
    Can do multiple entries
    all players points count

    Option #2
    $20-$30 USD
    Pick ANY 20 players
    Minimum 5 defence
    Can do multiple entries
    all players points count

    Am wondering if we all pick any 20 players if that would be too much? Any other ideas? I'm in a yearly playoff pool like this and it's usually pretty fun. I never really cared much about the draft style one. Any input on league settings is fine. Never done a money play-off one, but want to make a yearly one for dobberites to join.

    I figure the multiple entries could generate more for the prize pool. The play-off league I am already in is a multiple entry league. Last year I did 2 teams that were similar (in hopes I win, i get 1st and 2nd ... lol but i came last place)

    I also figured that if we made the rules simple we could get a lot of entries. The more the merrier!

    fantrax allows you to use the premium version for playoff pools fwiw therefore a ''pik em'' style league where theres duplicate players is doable without a traxx premium fee attached.

    you can set it up so that the gm's make picks on their own via a pick screen --set deadline for 5 mins before puck drop of first game and your golden .

    added bonus of traxx handling the collection/distribution of fees/winnings

    Was it you that set up the Dobber one for free on online pools this year. I think we used around 20 players and that seemed to work out. There was enough diversity in the 20 players picked that there wasn't 2 exact same teams.
