  • Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

    Here we are staring down the final week of the season, and goldenbriggsy is holding onto a healthy lead. Will alslammerz be able to catch up in the final week? I could probably check, but it's more fun to just wait!

        Congratulations to goldenbriggsy! He was able to hold on and win this year's contest. His score puts him 10th (of sixteen) among all winners. He nailed 4 of 12 team finishes, which was also good for best among us (though tied with Mr. Last Year). He was off by only one on 3 more teams, and his worst miss was placing Union in 7th (if only, if only...).

        As a whole, we did quite a bit worse than last year; The Fan Average was 62 points below its previous finish. Last year's winner unfortunately did not compete, but last year's ultimate loser, Rjm7272, was able to improve quite a bit. He still ended up near the bottom, but shaved nearly 120 points off his final score. Speaking of last year, Mr. Last Year tied for sixth overall, a significant improvement over its 50th place finish in 2017.

        The standings board at the front of the Houston Field House was uniquely bad at predicting the final standings, putting up the worst score of all time in this contest. The Random Number also did quite poorly, but that's not news. Among real posters to the board, FlagDUDE08 takes the "crown" for worst prediction, though he had Brown on the money, and his picks weren't that awful from a historical perspective.

        Quinnipiac was by far the team that hurt us all the most, adding an average of 43 points to our scores. By contrast, we were pretty good at placing Brown, Yale, Clarkson, and Princeton, which each cost us less than 5 points and were each nailed by at least 5 of us.

        Finally, DrDemento owes JennyRN a present. Big surprise.

        Thank you all for participating in this year's contest, and thank you for allowing me to take over from vicb and run the game this season. See you all in September!

He nailed 4 of 12 team finishes, which was also good for best among us (though tied with Mr. Last Year). He was off by only one on 3 more teams, and his worst miss was placing Union in 7th (if only, if only...).


                Thanks for running the contest this year lugnut92
