JOH...explain the HOCKEY CONTEST in the simplest terms so we old rednecks here in Alabama can understand.

Hockey is alive and well at this fine network....just needs a leader.

Well Hell! TheRX bounced the best contest promoter on the NET!

Shying away from the long drawn out season long contests, but rather format similar to the weekly baseball contests we've been running throughout the season. Here's links to those contests:

Sign Up Here To Enter Weekly Baseball - Part II
Sign Up Sheet
===============================
Enter Daily Baseball Picks Here
Baseball Selections Sheet

Two week contests here for hockey with $25 entry fee every 2 weeks. Winner takes all.

Puck lines
Money lines
Totals
would be available.

1-3 units per play
Max (3) 2 unit plays per day
Max (3) 3 unit plays per day

(1) 2-Team Parlay per week.
1 Unit Max on Parlays

Max 3 plays per day Tues, Wed, Thurs
Max 5 plays per day Fri, Sat & Sun

Mondays are off days.

Rules could be tweaked. Need 5-10 guys to get this going.
Looking to get started on Tues, Oct 10th.

I'm prolly in

Yeah me too but why not just do single unit plays and keep this simple? With all the multi unit options I’m not sure why anyone would want to play just a single unit. Or a two unit for that matter. Idk, maybe I’m missing something. Is there a minimum amount of plays that need to be put in for the two weeks?

Everything else looks fine by me

Yeah I was going to edit my post with total plays for the 2 week period but ran out of time (5 minute window).

Minimum 30 plays
Maximum 45 plays

As for multi-unit plays, you'd be surprised how often 1 unit plays were used in the baseball contests. Seemed to work just fine.

I can't commit to the whole season but I'd be willing to play a few 2 week blocks throughout the season

I agree with Vegas...make it simple and I am in. Jez, I'm in 14 football contest already and not complaining but hockey ain't my first priority right now.

Love the NHL and will support you and any contest worthwhile. "Keep it simple stupid", for us who qualify.

With all due respect....screw your baseball contest.

Tell HOCKEY PLAYERS why they would want to enter an NHL CONTEST here
at this network.

Lay out the rules for getting involved or canned this BS.
