Woohoo!! Let's get it started! Thanks so much for running this again, Nights. You'd better have an overwhelming amount of karma coming your way over these next two weeks!

Credit to user 'reeveta' who started the pool and was running this for the first 9 years, who I started helping in 2010/11 with stat tracking. I took over completly in 2016/17.
Note the bolder parts in the rules below.
Also, changed the year, link, subject line and everything, but everything else is the same.
Here's the google sheets version - complete it, save a copy, then e-mail it to me.SCORING:
Points only for skaters
Goalies Wins = 2, OTL = 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.
In case of a tie in points, the winner will be decided via shootout - which is to say, the highest amount of goals. Most points in the gold-medal game may be used as the second tie-breaker if necessary.
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:
Alexis LAFRENIERE (CAN)
Barrett HAYTON (CAN)
Alex TURCOTTE (USA)
Oliver WAHLSTROM (USA)
Grigori DENISENKO (RUS)
Samuel FAGEMO (SWE)
Additionally, trying something new, the following 5 players can only be picked in the separate "D Captain" spot:
Ty SMITH (CAN)
Ville HEINOLA (FIN)
Alexander ROMANOV (RUS)
Rasmus SANDIN (SWE)
Cameron "Cam" YORK (USA)
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 22 players save the excel file with your username and email it to me. My email is rochce at yahoo dot com. Please put '2020 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/2020/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 (Who haven't qualified this year!).
The deadline is before the drop of the puck for the first game (Which is 11 AM Pacific Time / 8 AM 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 21nd at 1 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.

Thanks for spearheading this once again, Nights.
(FWIW, and it might just be me (Mac/Chrome user) but, the first file linked in your OP above seems to be using last years players/rosters... but the 2nd link/ZIP file works just fine).
All the best to the community here over the holidays and new year!
