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 1st 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 2nd round game (games 5-8 where only one of the
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.
3) For each game of the Phrozen Phour (games 9-11 where none
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.
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 sectionof 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.
