PMs picks to GirlySports by SUN Feb 19 @ 4pm Mountain

Send picks for the 2 games that you playing. The deadlines are there for each of the qualifiers. You can send separately or all at once. If you're unsure, just send for all 18 games right now and you can't go wrong

[GirlySports]

missing picks from PlayfulGenius, CofR

and Cheerio but he doesn't have to send until tonight.

Might have to do some reshuffling

----

I have to be away for the afternoon, will update everything later.

[PlayfulGenius]

darn, didn't notice it was an early one ... I'll send what's left now, though.

[PlayfulGenius]

I submitted my list for the last 3 games of the 6... I'm ok with being down whichever bomber has correct to 0, as my 3 picks weren't made in time.

[CofR]

I suck I'll send for the last qualifier

[GirlySports]

so PG sent for the last 3 games.. CofR will probably send for the last 3 games too.

[GirlySports]

No difference in the Hockey-devo22 game so there's a loser point right there.

PG can still come back!

ineedanother has won (sorry CofR)

[GirlySports]

no picks from Cheerio yet , first game starting.

[GirlySports]

no margins hit in the hockey-devo22 game

Hockey wins because he gave Tampa Bay exactly 2 goals

[GirlySports]

Still no picks from Cheerio. Looks like a freebie for ineedanother who would clinch the group.

[GirlySports]

oops that could say BOS 2-1 for bomber.

[OffsideSpecialist]

Wow, not one difference in the two Group A matches today, guess great minds think alike!

[GirlySports]

devo got PHOENIX 1 correct so he's in the driver's seat.

[GirlySports]

Qualifier 2 is over.

devo22 wins on 1 correct margin, he gets 2 points, OffsideSpecialist gets 1
Montana Moe beats bomber 2 differences to 1
and ineedanother got a freebie and got 2 out of 6 games (+2)

So the standings after Q2 are:

Group A:
devo22: 2 games played, 3 points +0 difference
Hockey: 1 game played, 2 points +1
OffsideSpecialist: 1 game played, 1 point -1

Group B:
bomber317: 2 games played, 3 points +2
Montana Moe: 1 game played, 3 points +1
PlayfulGenius: 1 game played, 0 points -3

Group C:
X-ineedanother: 2 games played, 6 points, +4
CofR: 1 game played, 0 points -2
Cheerio: 1 game played, 0 point -2

[GirlySports]

Cheerio didn't send so CofR gets a freebie too, Group C kind of fell apart.

CofRwill need to get 5 out of 6 correct to have any chance at the playoffs.

Group A: winner of Hockey-OffsideSpecialist wins the group. If OffsideSpecialist wins on margins then there's a massive 3 way tie and I have some calculating to do. devo22 is eliminated unless the 3 way tie happens because his difference is worse than both Montana Moe and bomber317 in Group B

Group B: Montana Moe needs one point to win the group. Bomber will win the group if PG wins outright (if ANA wins). Bomber also in good position for a wildcard (unless CofR gets 5 out of 6 games right). So looks like our #1 PG is in the role of spoiler.

Qualifier 3 differences

[GirlySports]

Hockey-OffsideSpecialist tie on differences, tie with 1 margin each but Hockey's MA5 trumps OS's MA6

Hockey wins Group A with 4 points.
PlayfulGenius beat Montana Moe which gives Bomber317 the Group B title on goal average.
ineedanother wins Group C with 6 points.

Wildcard.
CofR has 3 points +4
devo has 3 points
Montana Moe has 3 points
PlayfulGenius has 3 points


CofR got a freebie which seems very unfair.
I'm not sure how to decide the final semifinalist so we'll have to have a special playoff between all four teams

Pick the score of tomorrow's 2 games.

GAMELIST
OTTAWA VS NY ISLANDERS PTS
WASHINGTON VS CAROLINA PTS

Using the all-star game method we will differentiate the margin and the total goals for both games.

CofR, devo22, Montana Moe and PlayfulGenius all send picks of 2 games to me by 11am Monday Feb 19 Mountain

[GirlySports]

TIEBREAKER!

Montana Moe: Ottawa 3-2, Washington 4-2
CofR: Ottawa 3-1, Ottawa 5-3
devo22: Ottawa 4-2, Washington 3-2
PlayfulGenius: Ottawa 4-3, Carolina 4-2

Good luck!

[Hockey]

CofR is screwed he picked Ottawa to somehow win the Washington-Carolina game.

[GirlySports]

Montana Moe: Ottawa 3-2, Washington 4-2
CofR: Ottawa 3-1, Washington 5-3
devo22: Ottawa 4-2, Washington 3-2
