The contest deadline for part 1 is 6:00 PM EST Friday, March 7th.  This
form includes only the ECAC, Hockey East, and Atlantic Hockey.  The WCHA
and NCHC begin their tournaments next weekend, and the Big Ten starts its
tournament in two weeks.

Fill in your predicted winners for each first round/quarterfinal series.
For the quarterfinals, fill in the road team you predict will be playing
each series (as needed).  Also fill in the number of games (2 or 3) you
expect to be played in the series.  Note that the Hockey East first round is
a single game only, not a series.

For the semifinals, consolation games, and championships, fill in the teams
you predict will be playing as well as your predicted winners.  MAKE SURE
YOUR SEEDINGS/MATCHUPS ARE CORRECT!  The ECAC, Hockey East, and Atlantic
Hockey all reseed twice, before the quarterfinals and before the semis.
Impossible matchups will be given zero points, unless I can get a correction
from you before the deadline.

Don't forget to fill in the tiebreakers!  Tiebreaker #1 is your predicted
score in the championship game; tiebreaker #2 is your predicted total goals
scored in that league's entire tournament.

If you don't want to do predictions for one or more tournaments, just leave
it/them blank.

Return your completed form to [log in to unmask] .  (REPLY in your
mailer MAY NOT WORK -- check to be sure)

Good luck!
