Here is a brief rundown on how things work for the pool.

On the schedule is a list of 5 Saturday games per week of the NHL schedule (starting October 19th. If you play it is your responsibility to pick the winner of each game. Along with the winner, you must pick a determining factor between 1 and 5 and assign it to the games. You can only use each number once per week. Here is an example with what I may pick.

The final score for each team is in parenthesis:
NYR (3) @ MTL (5) - NYR 2
DET (0) @ PHI (2) - PHI 4
TB (6) @ MIN (4) - TB 5
NJ (3) @ OTT (1) - OTT 1
WSH (1) @ CGY (4) - WSH 3

For the Rangers/Habs game I would be minus 4 (-4)
For Redwings/Philadelphia I would be plus 8 (+8)
For Lightning/Wild I would be plus 10 (+10)
With the Devils/Senators game I would be minus 2 (-2)
For Capitals/Flames I would be minus 9 (-9)

For the week my overall score would be plus 3 (+3) with a record of 2 and 3.

Picks are accepted until 12:00PM Noon (MST) on Saturday for the week. Please note, if you're pick arrives in my email with a time stamp of 12:01pm (MST) or later you will default, the same with texting me your picks. If you default, you will once again be saddled with the lowest score accrued by someone in the pool and not the lowest score possible.
