NHL 09 Fear The Fin Invitational Pairings

After the jump you will find your opponent's GT, as well as a link. This link will take you to a page where you and your partner will organize convenient times to hold your games.

There will be no draft today, because having 36 users attempt to select different teams would be bedlam. Any method you use to pick teams is fine. If you and your opponent are unable to come to an agreement on which teams to be, here is a method I use with my buddies:

Three Randoms & A Lotto

Go to Western Conference All-Stars and hit "x" three times. The three NHL teams you get form your pool of selection. You are able to choose either one of these three. If you do not like any of them however, you can choose a "lotto" pick. The risk with choosing a lotto is that you have to be that team.

Other Stuff

• I don't care if you're a KHL, Swiss team etc., but National teams are not allowed. Play as the same team throughout the entire series.
  
• A seven game series, 2-2-1-1-1 format. The home and away teams will be shown after the jump. Since I know someone is going to ask this question, no, one team does not play as the home team the entire series. "Joeblow @ Joeschmo" means "schmo" is the home team for the first two games of the series. Just like the NHL playoffs.
• Wearing whites at home is encouraged, but obviously not required.
• Odin and I tried to find a way that we could set up continuous OT online, but we were unable to do so. What a joke. If you would like to avoid the shootout, feel free to quit once regulation ends, and start a new game- this will be the "overtime period." First goal obviously wins. Coordinate this with your opponent.
  
• Rules here in case you forgot.
• After the first two rounds we will have to introduce a new format considering there will be 9 players remaining. It will involve setting up an online league where everyone plays each other twice and the top four teams advance, but don't worry about that now seeing as it's only the first round.
  
• If your opponent does not make an appearance in the comments by Tuesday at 7:00 PM Pacific, you will advance to the next round.
• Finish your series by Friday at 11:59 PM Pacific.

Jump.
