It's that time of year again for the NC$$ tournament pool.
 
Here are the rules for this year:
 
This year, there will be 3 pools in one;
one for the foolish, those who want to pick winners of
each game, a second for the more foolish, who want to
predict goal differentials and a third contest (for fools
only) that will will be based on actual scores from
each game.
 
One entry form will be used for all 3 contests.
 
 
Under separate post, I will send the official entry form
as well as the specific rules and scoring for contests 1-3.
 
Required information (all 3 contests):
 
NAME
ADDRESS (no street address is needed just city, state)
E-MAIL address - (so that I may acknowledge receipt of
              each entry and request corrections or additional
              information if  needed)
 
Optional information:
School Affiliation - (Only one please; if you send me two,
                                I'll use the first one listed)
League Affiliation - (Only one, please)
 
As mentioned before, contest rules are being sent separately,
one for each contest. I apologize for making the rules
sound like a legal document, but I found out last year that
there were as many interpretations of contest rules as there
were contestants. If there are any questions about the rules,
please let me know so that I can clear them up and
send out clarifications to all entrants.
 
Also, please send entries as early in the week as possible.
This allows me time to enter the data, acknowledge receipt,
check for missing information and contact you for additional
info before the contest deadline (which, by the way, is
noon EST on Friday, March 24, 2000 ).
 
BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRY FORM,
BE SURE IT IS ADDRESSED TO ME, NOT HOCKEY-L:

When you finish filling out the entry form, please double
check it for logical consistency. In prior years, several
people mixed up the brackets and chose teams in the later
rounds that logically could not play in the game they were
chosen to win. If you choose a winner in a matchup that
cannot occur, then your choice will be wrong (duh!!).
