**UPDATE:  The contest deadline for part 2 is now *2:00 PM EST* Wednesday,
March 10th.

Now that the regular season has ended for the WCHA, NCHC, and Big Ten, here
is Part 3 of the Pick the Post-season Tourneys entry form.  This part
includes the WCHA, NCHC, and Big Ten tournaments.  Part 4, covering the
ECAC, will come a bit later.

The contest deadline for part 3 is 2:30 PM EST Friday, March 12th.

Fill in your predicted winners for each of the quarterfinals.  For the
WCHA, also fill in the number of games (2 or 3) you expect to be played in
the series.

For the semifinals and championships, fill in the teams you predict will be
playing as well as your predicted winners. MAKE SURE YOUR SEEDINGS/MATCHUPS
ARE CORRECT!  The WCHA and NCHC reseed before the semifinals.  The Big Ten
uses a bracket and does not reseed, meaning that the 4-5 quarterfinal
winner will play the #1 seed in the semis regardless of what happens in the
other 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!
