The tenth annual internet pool in a row. That is mind-numbing in the evident dedication to the pursuit of idleness and lack of productivity. Here are the rules in the most complex and utterly unwinnable pool yet:
1. NHL playoffsI have to think of a few more questions on international sport. These will be posted in a bit. Get your picks in by 18 April 2006 at a reasonable hour.Pick five scorers, one goon, one goalie, eight teams and a dark horse.
2. Other Hockey
- A point for a goal by a scorer.
- A point for an assist by a scorer.
- A point for a penalty minute by a goon. If your goon is kicked out of the playoffs and thereby the pool, you double the penalty minutes he has achieved to that point. The logic here is that the goon is a nut-bar. The later that he freaks and gets tossed for the balance of the playoffs, the more nut-bar like he is, the more he is the essential goon.
- A point for each thousandth save percentage over .900 by your goalie
- 5 points for picking each of the teams in the second, third and fourth rounds.
- 25 bonus points for picking the dark horse - the team with the lowest regular season points to go the farthest in the playoffs. The dark horse must be seeded in the lower half of their conference.
3. World Cup Fitba
- Name the winner of the Memorial Cup, Canada's Jr A Men's hockey championship. 10 points.
- Pick four scorers in the Memorial Cup. One point for each goal or assist.
- Pick the winner of the AHL's Calder Cup. Ten points.
4. Other Fitba
- Which team goes farther: Togo or Trinidad and Tobago? Ten points. Total goals breaks the tie.
- Who wins the World Cup? Ten points.
- Who wins the golden shoe for top scorer? Ten points.
5. Baseball
- Pick the two teams in the English FA Cup Final. Five points each.
- Pick the winner of the FA Cup. 10 points.
- Pick the winner of the Scottish Premier League - not a Cup, #1 in the league table. Ten points.
- Does Morton go up to the First Division of the SFA? Ten points if you are right.
6. Other Sports
- Who wins when the Red Sox and Yankees play on 1 May 2006? Ten points.
- Who wins when the Red Sox and Yankees play on 2 May 2006? Ten points.
- Who starts as pitcher for each team when the Red Sox and Yankees play on 1 May 2006? Ten points for each correct pick.
- Which of thse two teams will be ahead of the other in the standings at 9 am 3 May and by how many games? Ten points for correct team and ten points for nearest to the lead in games.
- Who wins the One Day International Series on Saturday, 20 May 2006 between teh West Indies v India, held at Jamaica? Twenty points. Guess the final score and you get ten more points if you are within 25 wickets on the score differential. Ten more points if you can explain how you exactly you know the score is what it is.
- Who wins the World Snooker Championship at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, England held from 15 April - 1 May? Twenty points.
- Who wins the British and Commonwealth super middleweight title match to be held on May 26, York Hall, London between Carl Froch v Brian Magee. Ten points. Ten more points if you name the exact round that the fight ends.
- Who is the top scorer in the NBA playoffs. Twenty points.

Sweet. A long-time lurker of the craziness that is the GenX40 sports pool, I am determined to enter this year. Of course I have no hopes of winning, as Alan, strangely enough, seems to win most of his own pools.
Alan - April 9, 2006 7:18 PM
Thank you for reminding me to add that high point subjective essay question I always rely upon.
cm - April 9, 2006 8:03 PM
I hope some of those "few more questions" will include cricket.
marcia - April 9, 2006 8:23 PM
I thought you were going to make it less complicated. This is too complicated for me to even contemplate. What about something dedicated just to hockey?
Alan - April 9, 2006 8:58 PM
You can play in one category or them all! That is the beauty of the Gen X 40 pool. How about a hockey card prize for each category and then a super duper prize for the overall winner?
gr - April 10, 2006 9:03 AM
I will say with certainty that the Bruins have no chance, but hopefully the Habs will go down in flames early. I wonder why the Senators have started to lose. Out of gas just in time for the playoffs? It happens every year to some of the hockey powerhouses. Those are my picks, in total. As for baseball, likely the Red Sox will do as usual: have a terrific spring and early summer then we all tune into football in the fall because they are hopeless. (and maybe Pittsburg goes to another Super Bowl)There. I have given all of my sports picks.
Matt is correct. Alan is no doubt shopping for a super duper prize for the overall winner, like a new weed eater for his new house, because he knows he will be the winner. (I just got a cordless electric weed eater, how cool is that?)
Alan - April 10, 2006 9:10 AM
Do you call them "weed whackers" in the USA?
Hans - April 10, 2006 10:17 AM
As usual, count me in. I haven't looked at the whole package yet, but I'll have my picks in on the weekend. I couldn't possibly do any worse than my performance in NCAA pool....Could I?
gr - April 10, 2006 8:17 PM
We also call them weed whackers, but you folks use that cute little Canadian accent and say 'weed whackers, eh?'
Scott - April 10, 2006 9:56 PM
How about adding this one. How long will Cocco "crinkly finger" Crisp stay in the lineup until he screams MOM and lets Canada's Babe Ruth take the field?
Ranald - April 18, 2006 12:10 AM

4. FA Cup Final: Liverpool and West Ham United
FA Cup winner: Liverpool
Scottish Premiere Leage: Celtic (I'm afraid I don't really understand this question)
Morton to First Division of SFA: No
5. May 1 - Red Sox win
May 2 - Yankees win
May 1 starters - Mussina, Clement
Sox ahead by 2 games
6. One Day International Series: India defeats West Indies by a score of 270-4 to 262-7. I believe this score will occur because we all know that India has a better statistic (compared to WI) when converting sixes and fours. I believe it will be this difference that will put them on top. For victory, West India will need, in the final overs, a total of 14 runs, but will only manage 5, due to the staunch late game bowls of their left-armer.
World Snooker Champion: I've always been a Stephen Hendry supporter. He'll win it.
