  • 2011-2012 ECAC-East Pick 'Em: The start of a new Era. - WEEK 2

    1 week in the books in an ECAC-East sans-NESCAC. And I have a feeling the scoring system I elected to use is going to produce some volatile standings from week-to-week, and ultimately some very large final scores after 14 weeks of picks. But in any case, it's time to move and get our picks in for week 2. And DON'T forget: once NESCAC play begins, I will begin to include 1 non-ECACE matchup played by a NESCAC team whenever possible.

    And as a reminder of the scoring here: I'll ask you to respond by indicating your predicted winner in BOLD, with the number of goals you anticipate each team scoring written at the end of the line, like so:

    Norwich v. St. Michael's 7-3
    Babson v. Castleton 4-1

    (winner's score, followed by loser's score)

    Following the conclusion of all games in a given week, I will tally the scores based on the following rules:

    0 points if your team loses or ties
    2 points if your team wins
    4 points if you correctly pick a tie
    -1 to your total for predicting an opposite score (loss)*
    +4 to your total for predicting an exact score (win OR tie)

    *Opposite score means if you predict Norwich will win 7-3, but they in fact lose 7-3.

    Therefore:
    Loss, opposite score: -1 points
    Loss or unpredicted tie, different score: 0 points
    Win, different score: 2 points
    Predicted Tie, different score: 4 points
    Win, exact score: 6 points
    Predicted Tie, exact score: 8 points

    Any posts that are posted or edited after puck-drop of a game that is included in that post will be completely invalid (i.e. NONE of your predictions will be scored). So, if you're late and 1 or 2 games have already started: don't even predict them.

    After the 3rd week of this competition, no new entries will have their scores tabulated. You may participate, but you will not be eligible to win, nor will your name or score appear on the rankings. This is week 2, you have this week and the next to get yourself in this competition!

    Re: 2011-2012 ECAC-East Pick 'Em: The start of a new Era. - WEEK 2

    So, like I said: we're already seeing some high scores. NUProf has opened a 10-point lead after week 1, correctly predicting 9 out of the 10 games - with 2 exact scores - as well as taking the 10pt exhibition challenge bonus.

    Joecct takes the dubious honor of losing 2 worth of points by predicting 2 separate games with the opposite score. But he wasn't the worst total of the week - that honor goes to dreamer6, Lakerfan11, and reggidunlop, who each picked 4 out of 10 games correctly with no correct (or opposite) scores. (although reggiedunlop is propelled into the top 7 with his 10 points from the exhibition challenge)

    So after 1 week in the competition our standings look like this:

    Standings after Week 1

    1. NUProf - 36
    2. AldenPartridge1819 - 26
    3. morkisthatu - 24
    3. MountieBoyOz - 24
    5. PrezdeJohnson09 - 20
    5. SteveDay - 20
    7. norm1909 - 18
    7. reggiedunlop - 18
    7. UCBadger - 18
    10. hawk - 16
    10. USMalum - 16
    12. CARDS_rule_the_Burgh - 15
    13. oldguard - 14
    14. jerrynu26 - 12
    15. hockeyfan77 - 10
    15. jabber811 - 10
    15. joecct - 10
    15. Ozz - 10
    15. thatswhatshesaid- 10
    20. dreamer6 - 8
    20. Lakerfan11 - 8
    22. Captain Obvious - 0 (will be removed after week 3 unless they participate)
    22. CMCUC - 0 (will be removed after week 3 unless they participate)
    22. Norwich59 - 0 (will be removed after week 3 unless they participate)

                Maybe I should write a preview column someplace for this weeks games, given my "obvious" expertise.
