In my Football pool, we had a Toilet Bowl. The \"winner\" had to buy the beer and snacks for the following year\'s draft. To \"win\", you had to lose every matchup until the end of the year. It didn\'t keep teams interested who won their first matchup, but they\'re the mediocre teams anyways. It\'s the bad ones, the ones that consider tanking, that you\'re trying to keep interested... and competitive.

This could work for hockey pools that have head-to-head matchups (like my pools).

In our league, we are having the same kind of problems concerning people who are trying to finish last to have a better pick next year. Since the last two years, we introduced a draw. (same thing they did after the lockout for the first choice) each team received number of ballot according to their ranking (finish first, got one ballot, finish 10 th, got 10 ballot) we got also a rules in place to make sure that any concession can be delayed from more than two round from there original pick. ( In the worst case the last position concession (was suppose to pick first) can not pick later than the third round)….which is keeping GM out of a race to the first pick. But we will like to find something else…great thread DOBBER…!

I should clarify our tourney only counts for placings in the rookie draft. The regular free agent draft of proven, current players is based on worst is first. So the worst teams still have the chance to get a good free agent.

But if there isn\'t enough teams or its a roto style, I think the mover shaker idea would keep me interested if I blew it early on.

No offense Superluke,

I\'m not normally a stickler for this stuff but please either get your Mom or Dad to proof read your work or go back to high school. It\'s painful to read something that makes absolutely no sense.

you know what, I\'m really sorry to not be able to write down correctly in a second language. I just try to improve my self... And you are right about it...I should have a secretary or a translator at least.

Sorry for the poor quality of my english, However I really thought that I was bringing something usefull....and at least understandable


Finally,thanks for the notification I will try to do better next time
