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 tie
between Thom Davis and Matt Sullivan, who both picked each game perfectly
and ended up with 40 points. Thom wins the title on the first tiebreaker,
as his predicted championship-game score was one point closer to the actual
result (3-0) than Matt's.
The overall lead in Contest #1 is currently held by Wayne Smith with 130
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.
