KIA Hockey Pool Statistics (Maximum potential Points per W..

If you are a member of the KIA Hockey Pool.

I have written a program which will take current statistics and
provide you with a list which will aid in your picking of players.

You can only take so many players of a certain position and each
player has a cost. Your cost cannot exceed 50.

My program will pick the optimum list automatically. Of course you
can tweak the list if you wish to. Basically the program will pick
the group of players who should statistically provide the most points
for that given week.

The program takes into account how many points the player should
statistically get for that week given his points per game average and
the number of games he will play for that given week.

Goalies are done as well. This reduces the headache of continually
making your pick list each week and will should dramatically increase
your chances of winning your pool.

With many calculations, one can win; with few one cannot. How much
less chance of victory has one who makes none at all!

I can also change the format to excel spreadsheet, etc.
