The Rules

1. The pool lasts the duration of the playoffs. First prize is bragging rights and a puck - not just any puck, but a beat-up old rogue puck which was shot over the boards by some team and given up for lost!!!
2. Standings will be updated automagically each morning.
3. You can make one trade each round. Basically you trade one player for another in the same group and you only get points for the player while he's in your lineup (you get the idea). You can't accumulate trades - you use it each round or lose it. Just use the trade form underneath the standing
4. This will give you a bit of hindsight, the trade will be based on the points in the standings at the time of your trade - if you know a guy had a big night, you can get those points by making a trade for him before the standings get updated. Aquiring a player as soon as a game finishes should pretty much always get you the player's points for that game. The updated stats get downloaded at 2:00am each morning that's the cut off for hindsignt.
5. The 'Points Adjustment' mentioned in the above stats is simply the point differences for players involved in trades that have been made. For instance, if you traded a player with 15 points for a player with 5 points, the 'Points Adjustment' would have 10 added to it. This way, in order to find the grand total for your team, we simply need to sum the points for the current players in each of the groups and add the 'Points Adjustment' value... make sense? Just keep in mind that you only get points for players in your lineup, so this is simply a number we need to add or subtract from your team total to make this happen. Anyway, the main thing is that when you make a trade, your overall team points will not change.
6. Any trades you make will show up in the standings the next time they are updated (at least once a day).
7. If in the company of another poolster who is trailing you in the standings, you must make some attempt at ribbing or some other form of light bragging in order to magnify your deep understanding and insights into this sport and that you are not leading due to dumb luck. At the same time you might want to point out that your opponent made stupid picks.
8. If in the company of another poolster who is ahead of you in the standings, you must make some attempt to clarify why you are trailing (ie. injuries, unproductive linemates, dumb luck on your opponents part, etc). Do not admit that you just made stupid picks.
9. If in the company of another poolster who is tied with you in the current standings, you must compliment that person on his/her high level of understanding and overall astute knowledge of the game and point out that dumb luck can be the only possible reason for anyone accumulating more points. At the same time be sure to point out the stupid picks made by the others who are trailing you in the pool.
10. Please let me know if you notice any errors in the stats.
11. Feel free to rewrite and email me any of the above if you'd like to make the points more clear.
