    Default Playoff Pool Platforms

    What platforms do you guys use for your playoff pools? I will be hosting a live draft at a bar with some buddies next Sunday and would like to set up the pool before hand. The only sites I know that host playoff hockey are Fantrax (hate it and won’t use it), Office Pools (not a big fan either), Online Pools (considering it) and Pick-Up Hockey (used it in the past and works well).

    Are there any others I am missing? Doesn’t have to be fancy, just user friendly. Also would like a site where only I as the commissioner would need to sign up for and the others could just view the standings from a link. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks guys.

    I know your's will be a draft....but I used to use hockeydraft.ca for large box pools and it did what I needed it to.

    I have since moved over to officepools but only because the users are a bit more familiar with it.

    I use pick-up hockey for the work pool I run. Simple and does what I need.

    Use pick-em hockey for playoffs - simple points and easdy to set up, and the price is right.

    We use Pick Up. Does what we want.
    SOME POOL RULES. Points only (G-1, A-1). One year Hybrid Pool. 3 round draft with balance of roster selected from any undrafted NHLer.. 19F 4 D 2 Rooks SALARIES AND POSITIONS DO NOT MATTER (other than being a F or D). NO Inter-Team Trading, Bench or Minors. Our WAIVER WIRE is ANY player in the NHL who is not Drafted in our league's 3 round draft. Each manager gets 6 ADD/DROPS (TRADES) for the year...any player on roster can be TRADED for any unDrafted F/D/R from ANY NHL team. INJURY RULE "IR". A hurt player can be replaced by another F/D from HIS NHL team and this is NOT considered a trade.. Injured player can be put back on team any time.

    So I decided to go with Pick Up Hockey and I’m having some issues. I created the pool on my desktop eeithojt any issues but I can’t log in or view the pool on any other devices and none of the guys in my pool are able to log in either. Any idea what the problem could be? I messaged support but I’m not anticipating a quick response.

    No, I made my pool name using spaces and it aloud it but wouldn’t let me log in or edit the pool name. Had to delete the entire pool and do it all over again.
