admin Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 It's almost time for the 2007-2008 NHL season to begin. If your interested in starting a pool of some sort, let me know. If we get some interest in this, I'll start up a fantasy league or pool. Last year we had 10 people take part, and we'd love to see more get involved. The pool is for both the Fly Fish Calgary and the Fly Angler sites. We will have a side bet of flies for those who want to. Just tie a dozen flies, your choice of patterns, and the top finisher will get 50% of the flies and the second spot will receive 30% and the 3rd spot will get 20%.( this may change depending on the interest it gets) This is optional, but if you don't submit flies, you won't be eligible to receive them either. I will cover the set-up fee for the pool, but if you wish to help out with the cost, or send a extra fly or 2 it is appreciated. I will also take any donations of flies for the Casting For Recovery program. I will send you a PM with the details for logging into the site that is hosting the pool. You will be able to choose 15 players in any combination you wish. Points will be assigned for goals, asssists, shots on net, saves, etc. Officepools.com Log in: flyangler Pass: flyflicker If your in reply with I'm In. I'm In. Who's Taking Part. 1. Pacres - Tying 2.

admin Posted September 17, 2007 Author Posted September 17, 2007 Cool, you have been added - Come on guys, there must be a few more hockey fans out there. Quote
Weedy1 Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Come on guys, there must be a few more hockey fans out there. There may be a few Flames fans on this forum but if you're looking for "HOCKEY" fans maybe you should post on an Edmonton board! Quote
ladystrange Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 i'm such a girl, could someone tell me how these hockey pool things work???? and then i will decide. but i am a definate i don't know Quote
Jeffro Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 I'm in......I like the ideas of the side bet, nothing to pricy but worth it's weight in gold Quote
admin Posted September 18, 2007 Author Posted September 18, 2007 i'm such a girl, could someone tell me how these hockey pool things work???? and then i will decide. but i am a definate i don't know Well, it pretty easy. You just need to pick the 15 players you think will score the most points for you. ( Here is a site that can give you some names based on last years results http://rapids.canoe.ca/cgi-bin/playerinfo/nhlstats) Everyone else will also pick 15 players. Pick a mix of defence, Forwards and Goalies as they all get scored differently. Goalies get points for saves (0.1) and defence get more points for a gaol than forwards etc... If you tie flies, you can join the side bet we have going. You may win a nice selection of flies for next summer. The person with the most points at the end of the regular season will get bragging rights, and we'll likely send them a few goodies too. If you have any other questions, ask away. Quote
