With the first week/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 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 and quarter- final series get picked as sweeps. The current overall lead in the Pick the Tourneys Contest #1 is held by Tony Buffa with 118 points. Scoring reminder: Three points are awarded for each correctly predicted winner in the first round and in the quarterfinals. An additional bonus point was given for correctly forecasting the number of games (2 or 3) a series would go. Scoring for the rest of the contest is as follows: 8 points for correctly picking semifinal winners, and 16 points for picking the championship game winner.
