  • 2nd once in a while pick the NCAA Tournament field contest

    I ran this 2 years ago, and forgot last year. However, I would like to resurrect it again for 2011/12.

    Objective: Pick the 2012 NCAA Men's Division III field now.

    You need need to pick the tournament selection from each Pool A conference AND the 3 Pool C selectees.

    In case you've forgotten, the 8 AQ's will go to:
    ECAC-E
    ECAC-NE
    MASCAC
    MCHA
    MIAC
    NCHA
    NESCAC
    SUNYAC

    Deadline is midnight October 29. That will give you three weeks to contemplate your naveloracles.

    Your selection should look something like this:
    ECAC-E - Southern Maine
    ECAC-NE - Becker
    MASCAC - Worcester
    MCHA - MSOE
    MIAC - Hamline
    NCHA - Stout
    NESCAC - Wesleyan
    SUNYAC - Potsdam

    Pool C: UNE, UWSP, Salem St.
    (the above is for entertainment purposes, and is not to reflect anyone's picks)

    So, Joe, how are you scoring this? I gotta know so I can plan strategically, especially for the lucky losers Pool C bids.

      I'm a simple man with a simple mind. But to allow for human failures:
      1 point for every team in the tournament that you get right, regardless of how they got there.
      2 points for every Pool A you get right.
      4 points for every Pool C you get right.

      For example, if you pick Norwich to get a Pool A and Castleton to get a Pool C, and it happens that way, you'd get 8 points. If, however, Castleton got the Pool A, and Norwich got the Pool C, you'd get 2.

      Max points then are 39.

        Fair enough. I'll dust of the old crystal ball computer. Time to get things going. (at last) 15 days to go before NU-Dartmouth!

          Bullpucky!

          Shenanigans!! What... No accuracy factor? No complex algorithms? No unintelligible formulations? This is in no way NCAA DIII worthy (when considering the tournament selection process)!!!

          I protest!
          (But will still participate... stay tuned...)
