UPDATE: We're back for 2015-16!!
We play every Tuesday ($5), Thursday ($5) and Saturday ($5)
If you want to join us, check the title for the post # with the current game link.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so FOI it is.

Has anyone ever played www.FanDuel.com ?
Apparently, it's similar to Draft Kings, although I've never played that.

It's a one day fantasy draft. NHL, NFL, NBA, etc.
You have a salary, pick your roster, and pay $1-$10,000 to enter each pool.
Highest point getters win real cash. And it's open to Canadians.

For example: Tonight, one pool has a 30k total payout. 17241 entries allowed. $2/entry, and here's the payouts:

Spoiler!

There's dozens of pool choices/night. Some with way less people, and some with higher buy ins.
They payout via cheque or to a Paypal account. I re-invest my winnings, and haven't withdrawn yet, but am up a decent chunk of change so far.

For NHL, you pick 2 RW, 2 LW, 2C, 2D and a goalie.
Those players accumulate points based on performance:
Goals = 3pts
Assists = 2pts
Plus-minus = 1pt
Penalty minutes = 0.25pts
Power play goals = 0.5pts
Power play assists = 0.5pts
Shots on goal = 0.4pts
For Goalies:
W = 3pts
SO = 2pts
SV = 0.2pts
G = -1pt

You can play against random strangers, or create your own groups, and invite friends, co-workers, or CP members

I think it would be cool to have a weekly CP only pool. Maybe every Saturday or something.
Someone here creates the pool, posts the link, and others join.
You can make it so winner takes all, or divide the prizes up to, say, the top 3, for example.

If you ever do decide to join, make sure you check their FB or Twitter pages for your first deposit bonus codes. (they'll give you extra based on your amount deposited, up to $200)

And no...I am in no way affiliated with the company. I'm not even going/allowed to share my personal referral link. I just think it's a pretty decent, fun site and would like to see if there's any interest in making a weekly CP pool. If so, I'll volunteer to set it all up.

Those who are in:
(I'll update the list as new interest is posted)
