Oh, and feel free to post the link to this entry around the forums so those who want to play can see it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the IIHF Under 20 2011 pool. This is the fourth year that pool has been run here.
PAST WINNERS:
First off, credit to the past winners.
2008: miked (out of 8 or 9 entriesā€¦ it was a last minute thing)
2009: ultrawhiteness (out of 28 entries)
2010: watchingthegame (out of 28 entries)
SCORING:
Points only for skaters
Goalies Wins = 2, OLT = 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.
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 canā€™t load up on one or two nations.
The position of 'Captain' was introduced last year to further enhance the diversity of the picks. So I have selected six top players in tournament and you can only pick one (they are not available for the other forwards positions). This year the 6 captain are:
Brayden Schenn
Brett Connolly
Jeremy Morin
Chris Kreider
Vladimir Tarasenko
Nino Neidderreiter
PRIZE
Respect and bragging rights
HOW TO ENTER
In the attached zip file 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 21 players save the excel file with your username and email it to me. My email is my dobber username at gmail dot com. Please take note how my username is actually spelled because it is often misspelled. Please put 'World Junior Pool' in the title so it will be easy to spot in case your email gets caught as spam.
If you don't have Microsoft Excel your other option is to email me with the names of you entry in a list. The names must be spelled exactly as found on the roster from http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/. This make is possible for me to cut and paste into excel. Be sure to count the number of players you have from each nation.
The deadline is before the drop of the puck for the first game (December 26, 12:30 EST).
CHANGES
Last year a few people wanted to change their entries after they made them. This is not a big deal but it is something I would like to minimize. The best plan is to wait until closer to the start of the tournament to make your entry. However, if you HAVE 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. I take no responsibility for you picking players that don't play.
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.
I am posting this December 18 at 8 am pacific time so it couldn't hurt to check back in a day or two in case someone finds a mistake.
DON"T USE THE ATTACHMENT IN THIS POST. THERE WAS AN ERROR. SCROLL DOWN TWO REPLYS FOR THE FIXED ONE.

Oh, and feel free to post the link to this entry around the forums so those who want to play can see it.
First mistake I noticed was Niedderreiter is available in both the forwards section and the captains section.
Thanks. It is fixed in this post.
Does anyone know how to delete the previous attachment?
EDIT:
THERE IS ANOTHER ERROR (MISSING RICHARD PANIK) THAT WAS FIXED AND AN UPDATE ENTRY SPREADSHEET IS POSTED ON THE SECOND PAGE OF THIS THREAD.

I unapproved the attachment. Not sure if that gets rid of it or not though. We'll probably need a third party who isn't a mod to come and confirm that.
I just downloaded the attachment in Reeveta's 2nd post and Niedderreiter is only listed in the Captains section. I didn't download the one from the 1st post though. If need be I can try that one out too.
EDIT: You can't click the one in the 1st post. It's not active so people can only download the one in the 2nd post.

Your beer mug isn't half-empty, your just half-way to the next refill.....
Solid, thanks for the feedback.
I noticed another issue. Richard Panik was omitted from the Slovakia roster. Pretty important player I think.
I found a bunch of rosters seemingly more up to date than on TSN at Eliteprospects.com.
Slovakia roster here: http://www.eliteprospects.com/team.php?team=1634
When's the deadline for submission? 26th?
Took a look at it today... man I don't know much about a lot of the guys. Haha. I'm disappointed in myself.
UHL - Detroit Red Wings
24 team H2H (W-:L) Dynasty - 3C/LW/RW/F, 6D, 1G.
G/A/(+/-)/PIM/SOG/PPP/SHP/GWG/HIT/BLK/FOW
W/GAA/SV/SV%/SHO
NHL Cap + 1M salary cap (AAV)
I have updated the sheet again to add Panik. Hopefully that is it in terms of important players. In terms of rosters, the below link has them all as well (but wasn't up to date when I made the spreadsheet). Feel free to use the 'write-in' seciton if there is a player you can't find on the pull down menu.

If there's any hope of Sentium partaking, I'm thinking that we should start by spelling Niederreiter properly (only one 'd')! haha
