CONTEST #2 - pick the winners and the goal differential contest
 
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 can be entered in either of 2 ways:
      . enter a number preceded by a plus (+) sign (e.g. +2)
      . or enter the final  score (e.g. 5-3) and I will calculate the
        differential.
 
  If you enter the score of each game, you will also be entered
     into contest # 3 (rules to follow in a different post).
 
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.
