With the conference post-season
tournaments over and the NCAA tournament
almost upon us, it's time to announce the winners of the Pick the
Post-Season
Tournament contests. For Contest #2, in which all rounds are scored
the
same, the overall winner is...
Sean Keller
whose total of 84 points was ten better than runners-up Andy Weise and
Jim
Dixon. Congratulations, Sean!
As for the individual conference winners...
The ECAC went to Sean Keller with 22 points.
Sean Keller and Andy Weise tied for the top spot in Hockey East with
16
points each. Sean won it on the first tiebreaker.
Adny Weise's 14 points were good for first place in the CCHA.
Scott Kaplan, Mark Lewin, and Sean Keller all finished tied atop the
NCHC
with 10 points each. The first tiebreaker gave the crown to
Scott.
The Atlantic Hockey race ended in a tie between Scott Kaplan and Jim
Dixon,
with Scott claiming the top spot on the first tiebreaker.
The Big Ten also deadlocked, between Sean Keller and Andy Weise.
Sean won
the honors on the first tiebreaker.
Complete scoring results are below. Congratulations to all the
winners, and
thanks again to all those who participated.
Tiebreaker notes: The first tiebreaker was the difference between
your
predicted championship-game score and the actual score. Thus, if
you picked
the score of the ECAC championship game (actually 3-2) to be 5-2, you
would
get two points; if you picked 4-0, you would get three points; and if
you
picked 6-1, you would get four points. Obviously, the lower the
point score
the better.
The second tiebreaker was the difference between your predicted total
of
goals scored in the entire tournament and the actual number. Again,
the
lower the point total the better.
As far as tiebreakers that were actually needed:
For Hockey East, the championship game score was 2-1.
For the NCHC, the championship game score was 3-0.
For Atlantic Hockey, the championship game score was 7-0.
For the Big Ten, the championship game score was 4-3.
The USCHO prognosticators' numbers are included below, as are the
"Higher
Seed" picks showing what would have happened if the higher seed for
each game
had been picked to win.
