FCB's 2010 Olympic Mens Hockey Pool!!! Great prizes!!!

Ok boys and girls, here it is, our 2010 Vancouver Olympics Men's Hockey Pool.


This is how the pool will work...

1) You choose 10 Position players from at least 3 different countries.
2) You choose 1 Goaltender. The only goalie stat we will be looking at points wise will be shut-outs. One shut-out will count as 2 points in the pool.
3) Goals and assists count as 1 point. Whoever has the most points after the Olympics are over wins.
4) You can not pick the exact team as someone else. If that happens the person who selected their team first, gets that team.
5) Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin are both exempt from this pool. Please do not pick them.
6) Tie Breaker (if needed) will be your goalie's wins.
7) You have until Tuesday, Feb 16th at 12 Noon Pacific (3PM Eastern) to get your team in. That is when the first men's game takes place.

Here is a link to all the men's Olympic rosters if you need them to pick your team..

I don't have a whole lot to offer, but I will throw a few McDonalds special cards (jigsawed/see-thru) from that last 3 or 4 years into the pot, to start. As the games go on and points accumulate I may up the anti. I might have an autograph up for grabs, but I plan on treatin' this like a game of Poker, LOL! If I get dealt a 7 Deuce I may think twice, but if it looks like I might flush than, well, stay tuned folks! This is lookin' like a very fun pool, we'll see where this goes!
