THE Hockey Pool: Active/Reserve Pools

Active/Reserve Pools

This feature lets you and your poolies activate and bench players in your line-up from week to week.

The Administrator specifies a time each week when activations and benchings occur. Each poolie can select who to move each week from their password protected Trash Talk page.

New for 2011/2012 season: The administrator can specify that player movements can happen EVERY DAY before a certain time.

To use this feature; on the Admin Page, click on the Active/Reserve button.

To use:

Login as Administrator.
Go to Configure Trash Talk and enable it for your pool.
Set up the correct scoring for Centers, Rightwing, Leftwing, Defence, Goalies and TeamA on the Customize Scoring page.
Set CustomA scoring to all zeros on the Customize Scoring page.
Go to Configure Active/Reserve link on the Admin page and Enable the feature.
Be certain that all your Poolie's Active players are drafted as C, R, L, D, G or TeamA.
Be certain that all your Poolie's Benched players are drafted as CustomA players.

Your pool is now configured properly and you can begin to use this feature.

Each poolie should be given their unique Trash Talk password. From their Trash Talk page, a link the Active/Reserve feature will appear.

This is a new feature and the formatting of the teams on the Daily Stats Page may still look a bit messy for a while - we're working on it!

Additionally, we'll be changing the display so that Player movements do not show up on the Daily Stats Page until AFTER they are made (at the moment they are shown there the moment the poolie makes the roster move, but we understand poolies want to keep that info private until it is done).
