    Default Hosting a draft - looking for platform

    I am hosting a playoff draft tonight (offline - in person) and am looking for a good host platform. Typically we use Office pools but this year we ended up with 28 people. The plan is to draw draft order and teammates which should make it pretty funny if they draw a partner with different views.

    The problem i found is i dont see an option to add a "co-manager" on office pools. We have no roster moves but i would like everyone to be able to view the standings (recieve updated emails automatically) and be able to trash talk. I know yahoo does this but am looking for other options.

    Does anyone have a recommendation?

    What is the format? Points only?
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Fantrax is the only good NHL platform for the playoffs I'm familiar with so I'll say that.

    Check your Private Messages Johner.
    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.

    Yes - very basic

    Forwards and defense - Goals/Assists/Fights
    Goalies (team) - Win and Shutouts

    If you take a look at Pick-up Hockey, as I suggested in my Private Message, scroll down the menu on the left side of screen near the bottom and click on "Pool Features".There are a lot.

    onlinepools is a very simple tracking one...

    and it has a way to send out email reminders.

    This is the one I normally use, but I also usually only run points only playoff pools (skaters and goalies). I have never tried using it for things like fights. Not sure if that's an option in that setup or not.

    We've used this one for years but we also do just G/A, and Goalie Points. Never tried anything else but according to their "Pool Features" it looks like they would have most categories that most leagues would want.
