NHL / PASS POINT POOL DRAFT 2011-2012

 

A.     OBJECT

Standings will be based on cumulative ranking in 10 different categories. The categories are:

  1. Forwards Powerplay goals
  2. Forwards non-Powerplay goals
  3. Forwards Assists
  4. Forwards Total Points (i.e. total goals + assists)
  5. Forwards Penalty Minutes
  6. Defensemen Goals
  7. Defensemen Assists
  8. Defensemen Penalty Minutes
  9. Goaltenders Points (win=+3, tie=+1, loss=-1)
  10. Goaltenders Save Percentage (minimum 600 shots against before and 600 shots against after First –Half Break—Penalty is 0 ranking in this category with teams below them in the standings moving up one point)

·         Since this year’s pool will consist of 8 teams, the first place team in each category will be awarded 8 points, the second place team 7 points, etc…. In the event of a tie in any category, the points will be split. The overall standings leader will be the team with most accumulated category points. During the regular season, for Waiver Wire purposes only, in the event of an overall standings tie in points, the first tie-breaker will be the team ahead in the greatest number of categories. If a tie still exists, the second tie-breaker will be most total points (total goals + total assists, Forwards+Defensemen). However, for money purposes at the First-Half Break and at the conclusion of the season, tied teams will divide all monies.

 

B.     TEAM ROSTERS

  1. Each team will consist of a 23 player main roster: 13 Forwards, 7 Defensemen, 3 Goaltenders
  2. The first 12 players on each team will be acquired at auction. Each team will have a maximum salary cap of $60 to spend in filling these 12 spots. The minimum bid will be $1.00 per player. Teams will alternate in nominating players for the auction. There is no positional requirement to these 12 players. Bids are in increments of 25¢.
  3. Immediately after the auction stage, there will be a draft stage consisting of 11 rounds. Each player selected in the draft stage costs $2. The first selection in the first round of the draft is awarded to the team with the most money remaining after the auction. The second selection then is awarded to the team with the next most money. This process continues until the last team has made their selection in the first round. In the event of a tie for amount of money remaining, a drawing between the tied teams will be carried out. The second round is in reverse order of the first and so on until the 11th round is completed.
  4. At the conclusion of the 11th round of the draft, a reserve team draft will be held. The reserve draft is optional for each team. A lottery drawing will be held to determine the drafting order.
