Pick formats

As the pool picks come rolling in from around the world, one of the aspects I enjoy most is seeing how people format their selections. It may seem silly, but I swear no two people fill out the pool in the same way. Sure those people who are fortunate enough to be in Kenora right now get a hard copy entry form and just have to fill in the blanks but the rest of you out there in cyberspace are own your own.

Most people just create some sort of long list of winners round by round, but some of you try to create brackets (with mixed results) by what I assume is "tabbing." One poolie to bold and italicize her selections every year, another entrant has sent me his picks three separate times today just to get the formatting right and my personal favourite was the poolie who went so far as to create a spreadsheet to make her picks. That's dedication folks.

The player side is more straight forward, but some people like to write out the full names, other just the last names and some even nicknames (Iggy, Kipper, Alfie and the like). Whether or not teams are included are hit and miss.

We're in the neighbourhood 25 or so entries right now, but I would expect that number to rise significantly tonight and tomorrow morning. Keep 'em coming...
