I thought I would get the thread started a bit earlier this year in hopes of getting as many people as possible playing.
Here is the general format:
We pick 15 games each week, spread throughout the conferences.
Each game in the first half of the season will be worth 2 points.
Each game in the second half of the season will be worth 3 points.
Each series in the Conference Tournaments will be worth 4 points.
Regional Semifinals will be worth 3 points.
Regional Finals will be worth 4 points.
Frozen Four Semifinals will be worth 6 points.
Frozen Four Championship will be worth 8 points.
There will be 1 bonus question each week.
The bonus question will range between 5-10 points.
The bonus question will be scored depending on how close you are to the actual result (i.e. NOT all or nothing).
I will have a volunteer panel.
They will have three primary functions:
1) To submit 4-5 games from their specific conference (i.e. the ECAC panelist will submit 4-5 games featuring ECAC teams) by 11:59pm Eastern on Sunday each week;
2) To help collect/input/compute data using an excel spreadsheet (likely through googledocs, but I'm open to other ideas);
3) To help resolve any disputes that come up
The current volunteer panel is:
Hockey East: FiveHole12
ECAC: drshoen
Wildcard: HoosierPioneer, SiouxfaininSeattle, and SweeneyHawksHockey
For those volunteering, if you can no longer volunteer (or simply don't want to) let me know ASAP. I'll be assigning the wildcard volunteers to conferences this week.
The first week of games that we will predict for will be for the Weekend of October 9/10 (first week of meaningful games). That should give us time to get everything set up this week in preparation for the first week of games.
