In an effort to eventually sell this thing to ESPN and retire rich, there is now an official pool website!

How it works:
- Players are divided into 8 groups based on points-per-game stats from the regular season. Each group has a progressively higher value for what goals and assists are worth for players from that group. Like a handicap, to even out the value between a superstar and a 3rd liner.
-Teams are in group 9. Teams earn points for winning a series. Divisional 1st and 2nd place teams earn 4 points per series win, 3rd and 4th place teams earn 6 points per series win. (Spread narrowed from previous years due to parity).
-Select a roster of any 12 players (can be from any group), with a maximum of 3 players from any 1 team.
-Select 1 team (not part of your 3-per-team max).
Submit roster to me via the form on the website or through PM here.
Scoring:
Goals and assists are wort 1 point each x the multiplier from their group.
NEW - OT goals count double.
Pick-ups:
NEW - assuming I can work it out in the spreadsheet, this year you can add players to your roster throughout the playoffs. You get 1 pick-up for every 5 eliminated players you have. (Still always having a max of 3 players for any one team).
Pickups can be made by PM or using the form on the website.
If the website isn't working, here are the groups:
Usually there have been about 12-15 swampers enter. If we want to make it a bit larger feel free to send the link to friends or whatever. I might see if some of my buddies want in.
