The object is simple - pick the 12 players from the list provided
who will score the most points during the regular 2021 National Hockey League Season. Points are awarded for a goal or an assist. So the total of goals and assists for each player on your team is your score.
Playoff games will not count. Season-ending playoff games, if necessary to determine playoff teams, will count in the Derby.
You will pick one player rated AA, three rated A, three rated B, three rated C and two rated D.
During the season you will be allowed 6 substitute players.
If you wish you can sub in player X for player Y, and then in your next sub, put back player Y
for either X or another player, or you can put in a new player each time. It is up to you.
Substitutions are made online, and must happen before five p.m. Eastern time
for the day you wish to make the switch. You will get an email confirmation of the sub, letting you know when it will take effect..
Players that are substituted must be on the initial list, and must be in the same group. You can not take
out an A player and replace it with an AA player, or even vice-versa.
Prior to the season starting, you can make an unlimited nummber of subs. Just go to the "Subs" page once you create your team.

The exact dollar amount for the various prizes will be posted once the season starts. The percents are approximate, as money is set aside for the bonus categories, and possible ties. All money is paid out.
Ties
In the case of entrants having an equal number of points, the official
time on ice will be used to break the tie. The less amount of time the
better (except for last place, where having more time played played is worse.)
Ties for the bonuses are not broken, the winnings are split.
Standings Report
There will be daily standing reports posted on the web site. This report will provide info on all teams in the league and allow for subs to be made.
Injuries
Players injured during the season are just part of the game. If you have one of your
substitutions left, use it, otherwise you are out of luck.
