Free NHL survivor pool. One team a week, 32 teams, 27 weeks, no draws. Entries close Sun Oct 4. Here's how it works in 30 seconds.
The game: each week (Mon to Sun) you pick ONE NHL team to win. Win and you're through to next week. Lose and you're out.
32 teams, 27 weeks, and you can only use each team once. Spend the Panthers and the Oilers in October and you'll feel it in March.
Most teams play two or three times a week, so you pick the team AND the game. Your pick locks at that game's puck drop, not once a week. No draws in hockey - OT and the shootout settle it.
The catch: someone has to run it. Puntr does. Picks lock on their own, results come off the live scores, the standings sort themselves out. Nobody chases anybody.
Free. No money involved, nothing to buy, no odds involved. Just the pool. Entries close when the last Week 1 game drops the puck on Sunday Oct 4.
TL;DR: the NHL survivor pool, minus the spreadsheet.
