A lot of chess players enjoy both classical chess and blitz chess.

In classical chess, a game lasts several hours, and a tournament takes several weeks.
In blitz chess, a game lasts five minutes, and a tournament takes only a day.

Likewise, why can't we enjoy both classical fantasy hockey and blitz fantasy hockey?

In classical fantasy hockey, a game lasts a week, and a season takes several month.
In blitz fantasy hockey, a game lasts a day, and a season can be completed in a week.

Imagine... six teams, 20 players each.

A draft lasts two hours or less (one minute per pick, and there are 120 (6 x 20) total picks).

A regular season is a round robin tournament. Five games. Five days. In each game, you field five skaters and a goalie (G, D, D, LW, C, RW). And yes, Fantrax does allow one-day game periods.

Four teams make playoffs. On the sixth day, semifinals (No 1 - No 4, No 2 - No 3). On the seventh day, the final game.

That's it. A blitz tournament can start on Monday and end on Sunday.

To make it easier, let's make it a points-only league (everyone gets 1 point for a Goal or an Assist, plus goalies get 2 points for a Win and 1 point for SO).

After each game in the regular season, you get 2 pts for a win and 1 pt for a tie. The first tiebreaker is a sum of all points you accumulated in five games.

In the playoffs (semifinal and final), the tiebreaker in case of a tie is a higher regular-season place.

Of course, the NHL schedule during that week is superimportant, so you might want to prepare for the draft... But in order to plug inevitable roster holes, you get 7 free agent signings (1 per day). Trades are allowed, but Day 4 is the trade deadline. And you can't dump players after you're eliminated.

And, of course, we can have more than six teams. With 12 teams, we can be done in two weeks (an 11-game round robin, 8 teams make playoffs, which last for 3 days (quarterfinals, semifinals, final)).

But let's see first if we can get six managers who're interested...
