Da_Chief had a NHL Box Selection pool last season. That works pretty well if you have a bunch of people with different schedules.

I'm fine with $20, even though i am more in it for the glory. I rather not have box selection. Find to many people pick the same thing with a very small differential . That said i'll go in what ever you guys decide.

Draft is the way to go. One player picked once, instead of the typical box check. In the pool we have we draw names from a hat and run a reverse draft.. First name, first pick overall. Run until out of names. Last name drawn picks twice then back up the list. Once back to first overall they will pick twice, then back down the list. Just an idea that seems to work well

I'm in if hosted on yahoo.

definitely have to make it at least $20 buy in fee otherwise people at the bottom of the standings usually give up mid season and just makes less competitive and ruins it.

This seems like a good idea.

I have a day off on tuesday and will set up the league then. Hoping to have a good idea of numbers and people's preferences by then.

Will likely host on yahoo as nobody else has made a statement for or against any other sites.

Also people who said they're down, lemme know if you're still in with the 20$ buy-in. I'm just gonna assume anyone who said they were down after the post about 20$ buy-in is cool with that.

Cheers!

Will do it again this year. Just PMing Bingo to make sure he's ok with it again.

Will post it later today if no issues.

I don't like gambling even with small money, but I don't mind being left out if others want to put money down.

I'm good for this one as well assuming I'm available for the draft.
