The Pick 5 Hockey\u00a0Pool\u00a0is our newest offering at HostedPools. \u00a0It’s a variation on a basic Pick’em Hockey Pool, where you only select 5 games each weekend instead of the full slate of games on the schedule. \u00a0On the football side, it’s become quite a popular set up, as there is a huge one run by one of the Vegas Hotels\u00a0for serious money, dubbed the SuperContest. \u00a0We have had a number of requests to add the format for hockey, and we’ve heard the suggestions and added it.<\/p>\n

Pick 5 Hockey\u00a0Pool\u00a0Basics<\/h2>\n

For each weekend of the NHL regular season, you pick the winners of 5 different games for the weekend. \u00a0Each pick you make is\u00a0on the ‘puck line’ or spread as it’s more commonly known on the football side, so if you take the favourite, they have to win, and cover the spread for you to earn a point. \u00a0If you take the underdog, and they lose by less than the spread, you earn a point. If the team you pick “pushes” (the home team score plus the spread value, equals the visitors score), you earn a half a point for that game.<\/p>\n

On HostedPools, our deadlines are always at 1pm (Eastern) on Sundays, but we allow you to select a team from an earlier game\u00a0as long as your pick is in prior to the listed game time.<\/p>\n

Pick 5\u00a0Football Pool Options<\/h2>\n

The Spread<\/h3>\n

Pick 5 Hockey\u00a0Pools generally use The Puck Line (Spread), but if you have more casual fans\/entrants, you could always make them pick 5 games straight up. \u00a0We generally advise using the straight up option\u00a0for hockey pools to begin with.<\/p>\n

Overtime\/Shootout<\/h3>\n

Some pools will\u00a0consider the game complete at the end of regulation, or overtime for scoring purposes. \u00a0Our preference is to use the final score, but more serious pools like to have the option.<\/p>\n
