Wikipedia Hockey Pool 2006-2007 NHL Season
This is the information page for those interested in joining a Wikipedia hockey pool for the 2006-2007 National Hockey League season. For logistical reasons, only 60 spots are available for this pool.

Registration starts now and ends September 1, 2006.

Rules

 * All participants must be registered between now and Sept 1.
 * All trades and transactions with other pool participants must be announced as soon as the deal is done, and a complete trade summary must be sent to the pool admin (Buchanan-Hermit).
 * There will be a "salary cap" but it will be judged like this:
 * Max. 3 players averaging more than a point per game.
 * Max. 6 players averaging 0.66 points per game.
 * Max. 1 "starting goaltender" (this will be determined by real-life situations; excludes backups who become the #1 goalie after an injury to the starter)
 * Min. 1 backup goaltender
 * Min. 5 players who have played fewer than 250 NHL games at the time of draft
 * Min. 25 and Max. 40 players total
 * Violation of the rules may result in suspension until necessary transactions are made to correct the infraction.


 * There will be a 4-round free-agent draft at the end of December, January and March. These "draft picks" may be traded.
 * If a player retires/leaves the NHL, you may drop that player and choose another player of the same caliber.

Participants
Please add yourself to the list if you wish to participate.
 * Note: For "abbrev", pick a 3-letter abbreviation you would like to be known as, for simplicity during drafts. (i.e. like how "VAN" is used for Vancouver Canucks)

Player selection: draft
The order of drafting will be chosen via a lottery. Picks can be traded during the draft, providing that Buchanan-Hermit is notified.

The results of the lottery will be posted LIVE on September 2, 2006 (time TBD). The draft will take place immediately after the lottery. All pool members must be present during the draft or your pick may be omitted (and you'll have to choose the leftovers).

The first draft will consist of 30 rounds.
