Ladies and Gentlemen, here's the 2006-07 UPP!
Lots of people e-mailed me in the last few weeks asking if the Ultimate Pool Preview would be back again this year… Well indeed, and here it is!
Once again here’s the ultimate tool to dominate your pool this season.
Last year due to the lockout, the quality and the depth of the UPP suffered from the lack of time in between the announce of a new CBA and the start of the season. This didn’t give me enough time to make it how I wanted it to be. However, due to the amazing number of requests it forced me to at least release a Beta version anyway.
This season I wanted to take the UPP to the next level, so I decided to hire a couple of guys (”hire” being a big word, since we all have put our time and energy for free in the project) to help me make it better.
And I promise you won’t be disappointed. If you liked to earlier versions, you’ll love the 2006-07 Ultimate Pool Preview.
Here is a quick list of what has been ADDED to what was already there in the past UPP‘s:

**Disclaimer**
The Ultimate Pool Preview is in no way trying to replace pool magazines. In fact I view it more like a tool to complete those mags and give you an edge on your rivals who most likely have the same mag than you have. Those magazines cover lots of things and have lots of in-depth articles in them, the UPP covers only stats and projections but tries to be the best at it. So all in all, you should use the UPP to complete the hockey magazine that you bought for your pool.
