Q: What is NHL Pick'em?
A: NHL Pick'em pools allow members to choose the winner of each NHL game. The pool commissioner decides how many games must be picked each week. For every correct pick, members receive one point (customizable). Typically, these pools run through the regular season, and the member with the most points at the end of the season wins. Commissioners can also enable “confidence points” or “best bet” picks for added strategy.
Q: How does the NHL Pick'em format work?
A: Here are the rules:
Each member picks the Saturday NHL games each week.
You can limit how many games members must pick each week.
Optionally enable “Best Bet” picks or “Confidence” points.
An optional “Last game of the week” tiebreaker for total combined score can be turned on.
One point is awarded for each correct pick (customizable).
Standings are calculated both weekly and year-to-date.
Q: How do you play NHL Pick'em?
A: In an NHL Pick'em pool, members pick the winners of scheduled games. Commissioners can set the number of games to pick each week. One point is awarded per correct pick (customizable). The member with the most points at the end of the season wins. You can also enable “best bet” or “confidence” options for additional scoring layers.
