CONTEST #3 - pick the winners and the score of each game
 
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 final score.
 
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), 5 points will be awarded for picking the
      winning team. In addition, having picked the winner and the score,
      you will have predicted how many goals each team will score.
    Additional points will be awarded as follows:
    a) predict the exact number of goals scored by either team
       and 3 points will be awarded (picking both teams'
       score gets you 6 points).
    b) if your predicted number of goals for either team is off by
       one,  2 points are awarded
    c) if your predicted number of goals for either team is off by
       two,  1 point is awarded
 
YOU NEED NOT PICK THE WINNING TEAM TO GET POINTS AWARDED FOR NUMBER OF GOALS
 
For example, suppose RPI faces North Dakota in the 1st round, and you choose
North Dakota to win 4-3. If RPI wins 5-4  :-) :-) :-), the scoring would be
calculated as :
0 points (didn't predict the winner)
+ 3 points(for predicting exactly that UND would score 4 goals)
+ 1 point since you predicted RPI would score 3 and they scored
     5 (hence, you were off by 2)
 
2) For each second round game (games 5-8 where only one of the
      participants are known in advance), 7 points will be awarded
      for picking the winning team.
      In addition, having picked the winner and the score,
      you will have predicted how many goals each team will score.
    Additional points will be awarded as follows:
    a) predict the number of goals scored by either team
       and 3 points will be awarded
    b) if your predicted number of goals for either team is off by
       one,  2 points are awarded
    c) if your predicted number of goals for either team is off by
       two,  1 point is awarded
 
3) For each game of the Phrozen Phour  (games 9-11 where none
      of the participants are known in advance),9 points will be awarded
      for picking the winning team.
      In addition, having picked the winner and the score,
      you will have predicted how many goals each team will score.
    Additional points will be awarded as follows:
    a) predict the number of goals scored by either team
       and 3 will be awarded
    b) if your predicted number of goals for either team is off by
       one, 2 points are awarded
    c) if your predicted number of goals for either team is off by
       two, 1 point is awarded
 
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 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.
