dlbalr Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My approach is a balance between being idiot and all-in. If BOS-VAN meet in the finals, I have almost a full lineup whil if TB-SJ meet in the finals, I have 4 players only. That's my exact breakdown as well, minimum of 4, max of 8 for the 4th round. Interesting to see others following my winning strategy from last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Though my strategy obviously wasn't going to let me win the pool (I don't think there was one out there that could), it's worked out pretty well. Despite having only 8 of a possible 12 players available this round, I've moved up over 26,000 spots since the start of round 3 and heading into tonight's Game 5, still moved up around 8,000 spots since the Finals started. At least I'll have a semi-respectable finish now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 My strategy worked and I was able to win the Habsworld Pool. Picked all Vancouver and Boston players. I finished 4322nd in the whole CBC pool which i guess isn't so bad considering how many people were actually playing. Now I have something to defend next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strategy worked too, I had the same number of points as you did in this round despite having 2 players from Tampa and San Jose. I moved up over 30,000 spots this round, just fell shy of the top 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Tied for 2nd in this pool, but I guess I lose to tie-breakers so I take 3rd spot. 6938th overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Any playoff pool this year? I'm trying to get it running...keeps timing out every time I try to create it. I'll probably give it another go after I write my Sunday column for the site. 9 PM edit: Screen still goes blank when I go to register the league.

Probably a dumb suggestion but I find each browser acts differently on websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyle has 6 pts (that's because I "superstared" him, Green and Carle have 1 each and Edler 0 !!! I am MAYBE running with the first round, but the war isn't over...
