Armchair Hockey Pools will officially launch Sept 1, 2009.
However, I like what we have done to this point so I snuck the site up prematurely when my developers weren't looking. They were not very happy – something about final tests not done, minor changes needed, not standard release procedure, bla, bla, bla.
Whatever. procedure schmomedure. I think the red chair icon is pretty slick and that’s good enough for me.
Also, I thought it would be neat to let everyone in and have a look at what is coming in September. Kind of like a hockey pool open house. So if you are curious, feel free to create a pool and poke around in the site. Some things may change over the next month or so as we do some last minute tweaks. However, what is there now will give you a good idea about how the site works.
The Facebook component of our site is not accessible right now, but I will make it available up as soon as we are allowed. It's pretty cool, you can track your pool right from your Facebook profile. And hey brother-in-law, you have 1 new notification .... "I am still beating you in the hockey pool ... plllthplth".
Check back with the Armchair Blog regularly as future posts will have more details about the site. If you have any questions about Armchair Hockey Pools, post them and I will be happy to answer.
