With the first weekend of the ECACH, CCHA, and Atlantic Hockey playoffs in
the books, here's a look at the score so far in the Pick the Tourneys
Contest #1 (in which the later rounds are weighted more heavily than the
earlier ones). Also included are the scores for the predictions by the
USCHO staff (who, it should be pointed out, don't have to pick all the
games at once) and a "Higher Seed" entry, showing what would have happened
if the higher seed for each game had been picked to win. Thus, in the
"Higher Seed" entry, all first-round/quarterfinal series get picked as sweeps.

Your current overall leader in this apparent Post-Season of the Upset is
William Sangrey with 18 points.

Scoring reminder:  Three points are awarded for each correctly predicted
winner in the first round.  An additional bonus point was given for
correctly forecasting the number of games (2 or 3) a series would go.  The
quarterfinal round will be scored the same way; predicting the winner is
worth three points, and correctly picking the number of games in the series
is worth a bonus point.

Scoring for the rest of the contest is as follows:  8 points for correctly
picking semifinal winners, 4 points for picking the consolation winner, and
16 points for picking the championship game winner.
