Hey guys, just had a few beers..and came up with some pearls regarding our
beloved pool!

I was thinking that next year we could implement a "head to head"component in
the PHL.
By this I mean on Saturday nights, you pick 5 guys (3 forward, 2 defense -no
goalies) to go
head to head with another teams 5 guys.

Prior to the start of the year a schedule is made (each team plays other 3
times). If your 5
man roster beats the other team's you win!

At the end of the year a bonus is given to the top 3 finalists in head to head
play. (Say 15
for first, 10 for second and 5 for 3rd). Head to head standings would be based
on WIN,
LOSS record NOT total points scored.

You could even implement a rule stating that each team's top forward, and top
defenseman are not permitted on head to head rosters.

This would add another "prognosticating element" to the pool, and allow a
greater
number of teams to remain in contention for prize money! I for one can't wait to
see my
beloved Spooners take on the Teeple Rage at the RBC Center in Calgary!
