The Pot

Each member owns one NHL team, and every loss by that team costs them money in the pot. Results are pulled from the NHL once a day to update the ledger, and a weekly commissioner's report recaps the action. Whoever's team goes furthest in the playoffs takes the whole pot.

FEATURES

Every loss costs ¥100; a head-to-head loss between members costs ¥200; missing the playoffs or getting swept adds ¥500
Results come from the NHL's public schedule once a day, so nobody keeps score by hand
Season cards for each member: amount owed, record, games played, and share of the pot
Full game log, filterable by member, with overtime and shootout results marked
"Next Up" schedule in Japan time, with head-to-head games and their stakes called out
A weekly commissioner's report written like a sports column, with an archive of earlier issues
Pot history for every season: winners, each member's contributions, all-time totals, and pots won
House rules on the page, and a read-only view anyone with the link can open
