Thanks for doing this again, Nights. I'm usually clueless with prospects so time to start the crash course and hope for the best!

Want to credit and thank the user 'reeveta' who started and has been running this wonderful tradition for the first 9 years and passed the torch over last year. (I've been helping with the stat tracking since 2010-2011 if memory serves).
SCORING:
Points only for skaters
Goalies Wins = 2, OLT = 1, SO = +2
The only points that count are those in games that lead to a medal (round robin and playoffs). This does include the bronze medal game. Relegation round or 5th-6th seeding games are NOT included.
ROSTER
12 forwards, 6 d-men, 2 goalies + 1 captain (total 21 players)
Only 5 players from any one nation (including all positions and captain) so you can?t load up on one or two nations.
Captains are in to try and drive some variety. I used the forums' collective judgement in figuring out who some of the top picks will be. Does a good job to help diversify picks across different teams. It's always tough.
Captain options for this year's pool are:
Eeli TOLVANEN (FIN)
Cody GLASS (CAN)
Jack HUGHES (USA)
Vitali KRAVSTOV (RUS)
Martin NECAS (CZE)
Filip ZADINA (CZE)
PRIZE
Respect and bragging rights.
HOW TO ENTER
In the attached .zip file in which I have put a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. From here you can use the pull-down menus to pick you team. The spreadsheet counts the number of players from each nation. Once you have selected your 21 players save the excel file with your username and email it to me. My email is rochce at yahoo dot com. Please put '2019 World Junior Pool' in the title so it will be easy to spot in case your email gets caught as spam.
\
You can also use the link provided at the bottom to the Google Sheets version of the file. You can make your changes, download the file as an Excel and send that over instead.
If you don't have Microsoft Excel your other option is to email me with the names (first name and last name) of you entry in a list. The names must be spelled exactly as found on the roster from the IIHF website ( https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2019/wm20 )website. This makes it possible for me to cut and paste into excel. Be sure to count the number of players you have from each nation.
If you don?t have email and want to PM me please also make sure the full name is spelled correctly. Names I don?t understand may be mistaken for depth players on Team Denmark.
The deadline is before the drop of the puck for the first game (Which is 1 PM Pacific Time / 4 PM Eastern US Time on December 26th)
CHANGES
Every year a few people wanted to change their entries after they made them but before the deadline. This is not a big deal but it is something I would like to minimize because it opens it up for me to make a mistake. The best plan is to wait until closer to the start of the tournament to make your entry. However, if you want to change it I will accept it up until the deadline.
NOTES AND DISCLAIMER
I have done the best I can to get the up-to-date rosters but these rosters are pre-cuts for some teams and there may be errors (TSN didn't seem to have a fantastic list, but that's always the danger in releasing this 4 days before the tournament). I take no responsibility for you picking players that don't play, or great players not being listed, although I will try to update when possible.
If player is not on the pull down list but should be, add him in the 'write in' section. There shouldn't be many but if there are I am sorry. Every year a few people put a write-in candidate that is one of the captain choices. Be sure to look there first.
I am posting this December 22nd at 2 pm eastern time so it couldn't hurt to check back in a day or two in case someone finds a mistake. Updates will be posted here.
SPREAD THE WORD
Please feel free to spread the word around the forums about this free challenge.
That should cover everything.
Here's a link to the entry form as a Google Sheet (note that you will have to download a copy and send it by e-mail - just entering the information doesn't send anything my way - I'm not that fancy yet):
