With the first weekend of the ECAC,
WCHA, Atlantic Hockey, and Big Ten
playoffs in the books, here's a 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, along
with the
WCHA semis, get picked as sweeps.
The current overall lead in the Pick the Tourneys Contest #1 is held
by
Nathan Hampton with 46 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
conso-
lation winner, and 16 points for picking the championship game
winner.
