CONTEST #2 - pick the winners and the goal differential contest

Use these directions if you wish to enter contests 1 and 2 only. If you wish to enter all 4 contests, use the rules for contest 4. If you wish to enter contest 1 only, use the rules for contest 1.


Information required:

1)name, address(city,state), e-mail address,
   team affiliation (optional), league affiliation
   (optional).

2)for each game, choose the winning team and the goal
   differential (i.e. the number of goals scored by the
   winning team minus the number of goals scored by the
   losing team).
   This number should be entered as a number preceded by a
   plus (+) sign (e.g. +2)

3)for the total tournament, predict how many games go into
   OT and the total goals scored in the tournament.


Contest scoring:
For each first round game (games 1-4 where all
    participants are known in advance), 4 points will be
    awarded for picking the winning team. Additional points
    will be awarded to those who pick the winning team as
    follows:
    . predict the goal differential exactly and 3 additional
       points will be awarded
    . if your predicted goal differential differs from the
       actual by one,  2 additional points are awarded
    . if your predicted goal differential differs from the
       actual by two, 1 additional point is awarded

Goal differential points are only awarded if the winner of the game is correctly chosen. Incorrect winners result in zero points regardless of the differential.


For each second round game (games 5-8 where only one of the
    participants are known in advance), 6 points will be
    awarded for picking the winning team. Additional points
    will be awarded to those who pick the winning team as
    follows:
    . predict the goal differential exactly and 3 additional
       points will be awarded
    . if your predicted goal differential differs from the
       actual by one, 2 additional points are awarded
    . if your predicted goal differential differs from the
       actual by two, 1 additional point is awarded

Goal differential points are only awarded if the winner of the game is correctly chosen. Incorrect winners result in zero points regardless of the differential.

For each game of the Phrozen Phour  (games 9-11 where none
    of the participants are known in advance), 8 points will
    be awarded for picking the winning team. Additional
    points will be awarded to those who  pick the winning
    team as follows:

    . predict the goal differential exactly and 3 additional
       points will be awarded
    . if your predicted goal differential differs from the
       actual by one,  2 additional points are awarded
    . if your predicted goal differential differs from the
       actual by two, 1 additional point is awarded

Goal differential points are only awarded if the winner of the game is correctly chosen. Incorrect winners result in zero points regardless of the differential.


If, at the end of the tournament, the preceding does not
    determine a  winner, the first tiebreaker will be the
    total number of games that go into OT. If the number of
    OT games does not determine a winner, the second
    tiebreaker used will be the total number of goals scored
    in the tournament.

You must specify the total number of goals scored in the
    appropriate line in the tiebreaker section of the entry
    form.  If that line is left blank, I will use zero for
    the total goals scored.

If no winner is determined after tiebreakers, co-winners will be declared.
