Slozo, if this guy is legit, i'd venture to guess Nanaimo (small town 1.5 hour ferry ride from West Vancouver, on Vancouver Island).
Nanaimoite.....
I don't do any online pools, so i don't have any "spots" to offer up. Do you not have some other guys you know who you can get in and do an online pool? I go in various pools in all different sports (even golf, lol) with guys from all over Canada and the US. As long as someone vouches for someone, we let them in. IF, that person doesn't buck up (make people pay early through paypal or email transfer), they're booted AND the guy who vouched for them has to pay for them! |

| Nanaimo, what sort of pools do you do? One of the pools I'm in is a regular yahoo pool (head-to-head, autodraft, trades, waivers, etc) that has had waning attendance over the years, last year we ended up with only 6. We'd love to have some new participants - is that the sort of pool you're into? |

nuxfan, i may be interested in joining? I've never done one like that so i'd have to read up on it a bit? Is there a link you could post to the homepage with instructions or is it easy to find on Yahoo Fantasy?
Keep me posted as you get near the draft date and send me some details? |

well you know - if we had enough peeps from here, I could just setup a private pool and start building with those interested from PUH... me, Alex, beans so far, is anyone else interested in a PUH yahoo pool? If we didn't have enough from PUH we could start inviting friends, ideal number for a yahoo pool is 10-12 teams. I don't have any allegiance to my existing pool, I only know them through the pool.
Alex - yeah, its one of the regular yahoo pool types, see the hockey fantasy page for details on "head to head", as opposed to rotisserie. You basically go head to head with another team each week (your pool against his), and compete in select categories (goalie and offense) for that week's play, a point awarded for each category. Whoever has the most points at the end of the week wins that week, and you start fresh the following week. Playoffs follow the same pattern, top 6 or 8 teams go at it in the final few weeks of the regular season. |

Sounds good, i'll look into it and would be interested for sure. Not nearly as much traffic on here during the offseason so maybe we wait till mid Sept to see if we can get a little interest then do it before the season starts.
One question, in your other post, you mentioned "autodraft"? What is that? Do you not pick your own teams? |

yahoo pools can be setup either as regular draft or autodraft. For autodraft you create a prioritized list of players (all players), and the computer does it all for you - you end up with a team.
I don't do autodraft anymore, I prefer the regular draft - so I'd just setup a time when we draft and we all sign on and draft - it takes about 45 minutes to get 10 teams to pick 15 players each. |

| Ah, i get it. Prob be better to do a live one if we could agree on a time. Inputting a prefferred list could take quite a while i'm guessing? |

it doesn't take long to enter in a list - you basically build it from a pre-existing list ranked from the previous year (which is your default list if you do nothing). However, live draft is always better, you can make last minute changes while you're drafting...
I'm sure we could all find a good time - like a Monday evening, or whatever. Most of us are within 3 time zones. |

sensfan - the pool would not be hosted by PUH, but would be made up of PUH forum members, on yahoo. Still interested?
Sounds like we might have enough to float our own:
- me
- alex
- nanaimoite
- beans
- sensfan
- @valanche
any more? |

so my existing pool filled up this year, no room for any new teams. However, if there is enough interest, I'd be happy to setup a yahoo pool for PUH members to go head to head against each other. We'd need a minimum of 8 teams for it to be worthwhile, and a max of 12.
In order to join a yahoo pool, you'll need a yahoo ID (yahoo.com or yahoo.ca email address is your ID). My last list of interested included:
- nuxfan
- alex
- nanaimoite
- beans
- sensfan
- @valanch
is anyone else interested? If I can get up to 8, I'll create the pool and PM invites to all those on the list. As already mentioned, I'd set it up for head-to-head competition and a live draft. |
