Hockey : What Is The Correct Way To Score Fantasy Hockey

My friends and I created a fantasy hockey league for the past few years now and I just sort of went with my own point system for goals, assists, +/- ratings for D, PIMs for goons and different amounts for goalies.... But i was curious as to the correct amounts. ~~~ Jazeebelle ~~~

there is no specific set of rules or system... you can create a point system however you like... just as long as everyone playing will enjoy it and thinks its fair... it can be easy and simple as just goals and assists only to more complicated leagues that includes salary caps during your draft... one year we made goalie goals worth a 100 points. Our D points are always double that of fwds. We also included points for fighting majors, shot blocks, goalie assists.. it gets really complicated and a real hassle to calculate every April... so we keep it simple now... Draft systems we used was picking one player from each team (5 C, 5 LW, 5RW, 10D and 5G)... another one we tried was paying $10 for every million dollar in salary spending into the pot... and winner takes all, so essentially you can possibly buy a winner...

Answer 3

i like head to head over points, i find that points misappropriates stats and doesnt do justice to certain stats. Much the same in baseball, certain stats are held above others due to point values, when infact just putting the amounts totaled for the week head to head and not using a points system is the best way to compete.
