With the first weekend of the Hockey
East and NCHC playoffs in the books,
and with the ECAC, 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 the later rounds are weighted more heavily than the earlier
ones).
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 leader in the Pick the Tourneys Contest #1 is
Nathan
Hampton with 107 points.
Scoring reminder: Three points are awarded for each correctly
predicted
winner in the first round. An additional bonus point was given
for
correctly forecasting the number of games (2 or 3) a series would
go.
The quarterfinal round will be scored the same way; predicting the winner
is
worth three points, and correctly picking the number of games in the
series
is worth a bonus point.
Scoring for the rest of the contest is as follows: 8 points for
correctly
picking semifinal winners (except in the WCHA, where 7 points are
awarded
for correctly predicting the winner and an additional bonus point is
given
for correctly forecasting the number of games), 4 points for picking
the
consolation winner (NCHC only), and 16 points for picking the
championship
game winner.
