With the first weekend of the NCHC playoffs in the books, and with the
ECAC, Hockey East, WCHA, Atlantic Hockey, and Big Ten playoffs continuing,
here's another look at the score so far in the Pick the Tourneys Contest #1
(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.

The current overall lead is shared between William Sangrey and myself, with
58 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.
