Icon48 Girly's Playoff Hockey Pool 2020

If it's August, and it's Edmonton, then it must be NHL playoffs. The contenders have been whittled to only the most elite 77% of teams. Who has the strength, will, and immunity to become a Stanley Cup Champion?

This is the 1st Edition of Girly's Playoff Pool. The details:
  • Players are separated into 10 groups based on their regular season scoring (points per game).
  • Each group has a multiplier value that alters how much their points are worth, leveling the playing field between the superstars and the, uh, Coyotes.
  • There is also a TEAM group. All teams get 3 points for a win and -1 points for a loss.
  • Qualifying games will count, the round robin seeding games will not.
  • PM me your team by 11:00 PM Mountain July 31st
  • There are 99 players on the list. Any other player will have a multiplier of 3.0 (even though the graphic says 2.8)
  • Once all entries are in. A Google Spreadsheet will be set up. Will try to daily, but no promises.
To enter:

From the groups below, select 10 players and 2 teams. Players can be from any group, but you can only have a max of 4 players from any one NHL team (your two team selections not included).

There is no entry free. I will donate $100 to the charity of the winner's choice.

This is a ton of math to figure out in one day.

What do we pick from? One from each column or do we have to make our own math theories to figure it out?

So only players from 2 teams?

Oh AND 2 teams

Qualifying round counts, round robin does not.

Pool is updated! There are 10 teams. Here is the link!


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...kzkJsZ/pubhtml


There were only a handful of qualifying round players picked and no qualifying round teams. And no Flames


So the pool won't really kick off until next week.

CalgaryFan1988 is our early leader. He's got Jonathan Toews!

I just wanted to quote this, to prove that I actually led a hockey pool at one time.

Thanks again Girly for doing this!
