Saturday Pickem - Week 1

[MXHockey]

POINTS SYSTEM: (Will be just like doulos had it in the past)


1)You select one of the following choices

H - Home team wins (1 point)
V - Visiting team wins (1 point)
H+ - Home team wins by 2 or more goals (2 points)
V+ - Visiting team wins by 2 or more goals (2 points)
T - The game is a tie (or a shootout win by 1 team - games won in overtime are not considered ties) (3 points)

Shootout wins are not considered wins but are considered ties for this. If you select H - and the home team wins by 2 or more then you still only get 1 points. If you select H+ and the home team only wins by 1 then you get 0 points.

The deadline for submitting picks is just before the first game on the Saturday starts. You can edit your picks, just as long as the last edit is done before cutoff.

Hmmmmmm....sorry doulos and 4T2.

Perhaps the early start to NHL games killed it this week,

or maybe there's not much interest in starting up this challenge.



If there is more interest in the future, I don't mind organizing and keeping standings. Cheers.

I would say to not give up on it just yet. Try it again next week or maybe the next two and guage the interest from there. I think the matinee games probably stopped a lot of people from participating. Or maybe run a poll to see if there is enough interest there.

If you start the thread earlier in the week, it would probably help get interest up. Just a few ideas because I think its a great challenge.

[doulos]

Try and give it another go and post the games a little earlier in the week with a few reminders.
