One of the most frequent suggestion I got when it came to running the Playoff Prediction Pool, was that it would be great if there were something similar for the regular season. I've had the Summer to think about it and without further ado, I'd like to introduce the First Annual Friday Night Prediction Pool.
HOW TO PLAY
Each week, I will select 5 games being played on Friday night. These will involve Eastern Division Teams whenever possible, with a few Telus vs Telus games to fill out the 5 game sched. There are two weeks just after Christmas where there are less than 5 Friday night games; I've filled these weeks with a few Thursday games.
I will create a new thread for each week. Each person will have to predict what they believe the Final Score will be for each of the 5 games and post it in the official thread.
Predictions are due Friday by 6PM AT EXCEPT:
- December 28th will include 2 games from the 27th, so picks are due by 6 on the 27th
- January 4th will include 4 games from the 3rd, so picks are due by 6 on the 3rd
Reminders of these exceptions will be in the respective weekly thread
SCORING
Points will be awarded as follows:
1 point for choosing the winning team
1 point for correctly guessing the number of goals scored by either team
3 points for having the correct margin of victory (you must pick the right team to win)
3 points for a perfect pick
These points CAN be stacked, so a perfect score is worth 8 points. There is no distinction between scores settled in regulation, OT , or a shootout. 3-2 is 3-2.
I'll update points on a weekly-ish basis, and top "x" players from each pool will make the playoffs, which will use a slightly different format, to bemade up revealed later.
REGISTRATION
In order to get the scoring set up, I'd like anyone who is interested to let me know in this thread. My thought is to divide players randomly into Pools, depending on how many are interested.
Registration Deadline is Tuesday, Sept 4, at 11:59PM
Best of luck to all. I've tried to make these instructions as clear as possible, but if anyone has any questions or concerns they canpiss off feel free to ask away.
