Hockey Prognosticating – Philadelphia Open


http://tourincity.net/wp-content/uploads/philadelphia-6.jpg




What is Hockey Prognosticating?

In the game, participants pick the winners of a set of hockey games in a particular week and are placed in a knock-out system. Beat your opponent and move onto to the next round. It's easy, all you have to do is predict the winner of the match, the margin, and sometimes the score for a set of games listed.

Note:

- In case of a tie, a tie-breaker featuring winning margins or correct score will decide who moves on to the next round.


How to Sign-Up:

Just post here that you would like to play ("Im IN"). Entries will be based on ranking starting in Week 3 for this opening season. The first two weeks will be blind draw free-for-alls. Anyone can enter. :D

How to send in picks:

Picks can be sent in as soon as the "GAME LIST" is ready. Remember, you pick a winner in every game on the list! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [HPT: Philadelphia 1st Round]. Picks must be sent in by the deadline stated in the GAME LIST.

How the GAME LIST Works

EXPLANATION:

GAME LIST
EDMONTON at CALGARY MA1 PTS
VANCOUVER at WINNIPEG MA2

Game with MA after it's name - Pick the winner and the margin (Ex: WINNIPEG 2)
Game with PTS after it's name - Pick the whole score (Ex: CALGARY 6-3)

[Cheerio]

Ooh I'm worried, BYE has to snap out of their losing streak at some point

[GirlySports]

News

The Bye has been training very hard for these events.

It has been a while since the Bye has played and won, but there is huge potential for there to be carnage in the draw if the Bye is underestimated in any of its 1st round matches.

This is an important set of tournaments for the Bye as it hasn't been fulfilling its undoubted talents. It has had some bad draws as well, but it will need some good luck to be able to progress up the rankings that its talent should reflect.

If the Bye manages to beat CofR or Hockey in the 1st round, then the reaction to such a huge defeat would be wonderful from an observation point of view as a sociological experiment.

Get on the Bye bandwagon before it's too late. :)

1st Round Differences

[Cheerio]

I'm going to prognosticate the prognosticating.

Top game tied 3-3 PG moving on on MA
Bottom game 2-2 Montana Moe moving on MA

[PlayfulGenius]

I'm going to prognosticate the prognostigation of the prognosticating...

Cheerio is wrong about the 1st one, and right about the second one.

Finishes 1-1 and wins due to an awesomeness tie-breaker.

[GirlySports]

you guys are picking on the picking? nice!

[GirlySports]

After day one, the new guys OffsideSpecialist and J epworth kendal have a 1 game lead.

[GirlySports]

Semifinal Differences

http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/yy129/degenerasian/PhillySF.jpg

3 differences in the first semi, 4 in the second semi.

[Hockey]

I guess people are forgetting that October is over now and it's time for Luongo to shine.

[OffsideSpecialist]

Same can be said for Iginla ;)

[Hockey]

Same can be said for Iginla ;)


I hope so, if he starts to put up points I'll start running away from the competition in one of my pools. Have a 18 point lead now and I have Iggy.

[3thirty]

Well that's good, Iggy will get 3 points for you in your pool tomorrow night

[GirlySports]

With Winnipeg's shootout victory, renny and Hockey have the early leads going into tonight.

[GirlySports]

renny wins all differences and is in the final!

3thirty now needs a Calgary win to advance to the final. (doesn't look good)

[OffsideSpecialist]

Ouch, 0-3 on differences, that hurts!

Congrats renny!

[Hockey]

I will be getting my picks in right around the deadline.

[Hockey]

Just put my picks in hopefully girlysports will be a sweetheart and accept my picks even though they were late.

I was late because what normally is about a 15 minute drive home turned into a 2 hour drive home. As some pedestrian was killed on the port mann bridge causing it to be closed and major traffic delays every which way you turned.

[GirlySports]

Final Differences!

http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/yy129/degenerasian/PhillyFINAL.jpg

[Hockey]

My Columbus pick is not looking too good.

[renny]

Thanks! I had fun :)

Glad I joined up
