The contest deadline for part 1 is 4:00 PM EST Sunday, March 7th.  This
form includes only Atlantic Hockey.  The other leagues will begin their
tournaments later.

Fill in your predicted winners for each first round game and 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.

For the semifinals and championship, fill in the teams you predict will be
playing as well as your predicted winners.  MAKE SURE YOUR SEEDINGS/MATCHUPS
ARE CORRECT!  Atlantic Hockey uses scheduling region seeds for the first
round and quarterfinals, and they will "cross over" for the semis, with the
higher East seed playing the lower West seed and the higher West seed
playing the lower East seed.  They also reseed between the first round and
quarterfinals.  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.

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

Good luck!
