With the first weekend of the ECAC, Hockey East, WCHA, and Atlantic Hockey
playoffs in the books, here's a look at the score so far in the Pick the
Tourneys Contest #2 (in which all rounds count the same). Also included
are the scores for the predictions by the USCHO staff (who, it should be
pointed out, don'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.

There is currently a three-way tie for the overall lead among Nathan
Hampton, Mark Lewin, and myself, with 26 points each.

Scoring reminder:  Each correct winner you pick in each round earns you two
points.  There is no bonus in a first-round/quarterfinal series for picking
the number of games that the series lasts.
