With the CHA finishing its tournament last weekend, we have our first
winner in the Pick the Post-season Tournaments Contest #1. The CHA saw a
four-way tie among Matt Carberry, Jim Dixon, Andy Weise, and (surprise!)
moi, with 36 points each. Matt wins the title on the first tiebreaker, as
his predicted championship-game score was closer to the actual result (4-3)
than anyone else's.
Matt also currently holds the overall lead in Contest #1 with 113 points.
Scoring reminder: Three points were awarded for each correctly predicted
winner in a conference's first round/quarterfinal. An additional bonus
point was given for correctly forecasting the number of games (2 or 3) a
series would go. The bonus point did not apply to Atlantic Hockey, in
which each quarterfinal was a single game, or to the CHA, which had no
quarterfinal round.
Scoring for the rest of the contest is as follows: 4 points for correctly
picking the winnner of each play-in/finals qualifier game (does not apply
to the ECAC, Hockey East, or Atlantic Hockey), 8 points for correctly
picking semifinal winners, 4 points for picking the consolation winner
(ECAC, CCHA, and WCHA only), and 16 points for picking the championship
game winner.
Here is the scoring so far, overall and for each conference. Also included
are the scores for the predictions by the USCHO staff (who, it should be
pointed out, didn'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.
