This is a confidence game pool! The rules are fairly simple and I will explain underneath how this game works, if you still do not understand the game, please ask. I want to get a lot of people into this game, so let's put the pool buy-in at 50fg for each member, and you are allowed to buy other people in if you would like to be generous and increase the pot total.Rules/FAQ1) Each player picks every NHL game for the week, placing a "weight" from 1 to the number of games that week based
on how confident they are that the team they picked will win (e.g. for a 14 game week, the weight range is 1 through 14).
2) The more points assigned to a pick, the more confident they are that team will win.
3) For each correct pick, they receive the number of points (weight) they assigned to that pick.
4) For each incorrect pick, they lose the number of points (weight) they assigned to that pick. Yes, that means you can end up with negative points!
5) Games are picked straight up, no spreads.
6) Each numerical value can only be used ONCE and each game gets a different numerical value (Only one game can get a 14, only one game can get a 13, only one game can get a 12, et cetera)
7) What decides if you get points? Great question reader! If your team wins, you get points. If they lose, you lose points!
8) This game is not for welchers/blacklisted, WPB can play at my descretion, but any picks/FG sent to the med (me) by these guys is considered a donation to the pot and will be added as such
How to submit picks and get into the confidence game!1) First, send your 50 FG to
Pens 2) I will post the games for this Saturday below.
3) Post your picks in this thread, if you do your picks on Saturday... don’t edit them after 1:00 PM Eastern Time or you will be disqualified.
4) Format your picks like this:
My 14 pick will be:
My 13 pick will be:
My 12 pick will be:
My 11 pick will be:
My 10 pick will be:
My 9 point pick will be:
My 8 point pick will be:
My 7 point pick will be:
My 6 point pick will be:
My 5 point pick will be:
My 4 point pick will be:
My 3 point pick will be:
My 2 point pick will be:
My 1 point pick will be:5) Once your picks are sent in, you are good to go, after the first game puck drop the confidence game will be closed for the week and there will be no more submissions allowed
7) The winner is the guy with the most points at the day Saturday
8) Pot will be 1st = 70% and 2nd = 30%
