Team BK will rock.

Snooch to the Noonge!!
Hail to Pitt!!

I have learned how to make a scoreboard, and will be posting a fresh board (to test my skills) as soon as the categories are revealed.

I will try to post one as often as there's a new question, but working at a place with no internet is going to be a hindrance. At the very least, I'll update the board at the end of every day.

[Chuck Murray]

Yes indeed! After much consternation and wringing of hands here at WIS Productions, due to the dedicated efforts of my CCHA interns TA Jen and Eric, we've finally got things ready to go with the final contest to see who the third and final contestants will be for the College Hockey Jeopardy finals!!

Team Merrimack (HE) and Team Bucky (WCHA) await one of the following teams:


Team BK

Annette (captain)
Streaker
John Biasi
John (from Pitt)
B.R. Marr


Team SLU

Spaceman (captain)
Muskieman
Kevin T.
Leify
asulliasulli95 ("Sulli")


Team Screwbill

billmich
screw_michigan

------------------------

TA Jen has finalized the question board, and will be having the toss-up question for the initial control of the board tomorrow at noontime (right Jen??). After that, she'll be disclosing the six (6) categories from which the questions will be drawn. The game proper is set to start in earnest on Monday.

Good luck to all the participants, and may the best team win!!!

GO UNH!! WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR!!

We have a winner! After consultation with Head MC Murray, the decision was to let the question stand until someone answered. If the way I'm giving the times is a problem, you guys need to let me know.

Okay, so Team Screwbill has control. The Categories are:

3 Blind Mice

The Men Behind the Bench

By the Numbers

Between the Pipes

After the Whistle

Loose Pucks

Post your choice of Category and Point Value (10, 20, 30, 40, or 50) here before 5:00 PM EST (4:00 PM CST or 'board') today and I'll have the first question ready to go Monday at 1:00 PM EST (12:00 PM CST or 'board'). I can do questions following that at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00 if that's acceptable.

These time zone changes confuse me...
It's 2 PM right now (Ok, about 5 minutes ago), right?

Ugh.
So the next question is at 1 PM Ann Arbor time on Monday? Right?

Double ugh. I knew the answer too...

[Chuck Murray]

Will the indispensible JimW decide to drop in with his graphic support talents??

Right. Sorry if I'm confusing people. I'm trying to be clear, and I kinda have to assume if nobody says anything they understand.

At this point, Team Screwbill has another 1 1/2 hours to respond with their choice of question.

Since Eric doesn't have computer access during the day, it would be much appreciated if Semaphore Jim W could assist with the board graphic (-:

[TA Jen]

For how much?

[TA Jen]

I have to leave now. If bill or Screw haven't picked a point value before 1 PM EST (12:00 board time) on Monday, I'll post the 10 pt question in The Men Behind the Bench.

Less than an hour before it's toss-up time!!

[TA Jen]

Back from my meeting and ready to go at 2! I'm just gonna use Eastern Standard time, because all of us playing are on the time and I'm easily confused (-;

Are we ready?!?!?
