  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
  contests 3 and 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:

  1) 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:
      a) predict the goal differential exactly and 3 additional
         points will be awarded
      b) if your predicted goal differential differs from the
         actual by one,  2 additional points are awarded
      c) 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.

  2) 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:
      a) predict the goal differential exactly and 3 additional
         points will be awarded
      b) if your predicted goal differential differs from the
         actual by one,  2 additional points are awarded
      c) 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.

  3) 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:
      a) predict the goal differential exactly and 3 additional
         points will be awarded
      b) if your predicted goal differential differs from the
         actual by one,  2 additional points are awarded
      c) 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.

  4) 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.
