Posted earlier: "G. M. Finniss has indicated that he will organzize a contest for the NCAA playoffs, and that should provide plenty of action for the next couple of weeks." I assume this will have the same format as last year. If so, I would like to suggest a scoring change. I entered last year and, much to my amazement, predicted every single result correctly but one - the final. I had BU winning. (BTW, I consider those results to be primarily luck - not a function of my hockey knowledge) Somehow, despite that, I finished well down in the pack, losing to people who predicted LSSU would take it all but missing more than one game along the way. Now, I know its stupid, but I felt just a little cheated in the standings. Based on that experience I believe the progressive weighting of results as the series moves on is overdone. Yes, that keeps people interested because if their team is still in the hunt they still have a chance to win the contest, but which is more indicative of prognosticative ability: ability to predict that a specific team will take it all or the ability to predict the largest number of contests correctly? I have to admit I feel a little childish with this post, but I really do feel the scoring last year was somewhat unfair.
