Hockey Prognosticating – World Championship






http://www.gofinland.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Helsinki.gif






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 The HPT rankings from two weeks prior. If you don't have a ranking, you can begin one! 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: WC 1st Round]. Picks must be sent in by the deadline stated in the GAME LIST.

How the GAME LIST Works


EXPLANATION:
GAME LIST
VANCOUVER at WINNIPEG MA2
EDMONTON at CALGARY MA1 PTS
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 correct score (Ex: CALGARY 6-3)

Who wants to play the World Championships!? :)

You can sign up. The tournament starts on May 4

[OffsideSpecialist]

I'm in!

[devo22]

[Hockey]

International tournaments are my speciality.

Although it depends when the gamelist will be posted.

If it's by Friday morning/early afternoon I'm good, if not I'm out.

[GirlySports]

Game list will be posted Thursday, I'll try to give 24 hours before puckdrop.

I think the first game starts at 4am Friday.

[PlayfulGenius]

Yes please :)

[GirlySports]

We have 6, I'll make the cutoff 9pm tonight.
We will probably have a round-robin again..

Any suggestions or ideas?

[GirlySports]

We have 6 players: PlayfulGenius, OffsideSpecialist, devo22, CofR, Hockey and bomber317.

I've decided against doing a round robin because the point system doesn't really work and just in case people don't send

So we're doing a straight total table. We will count wins and margins (1 point for each correct). If you get a correct margin for a game that is list in red, you get a bonus point.

Top 2 after the 56 Round Robin matches will play in an 8 game final.

We will divide the weeks into roughly 10 game installments (there are 64 total games in the tournament)

GameDay 1 (10 games May 4 and 5)
(please give winner and margin)

United States vs France
Germany vs Italy
Canada vs Slovakia
Czech Rep vs Denmark
Belarus vs Finland
Sweden vs Norway
Switzerland vs Kazakhstan
Latvia vs Russia
Canada vs USA
Sweden vs Czech Rep

Send picks to GirlySports by FRI MAY 4 @ 4AM Mountain time, that's noon Central European Time.

[GirlySports]

missing picks from PlayfulGenius and bomber317... will post selections in about an hour or so...

I need to get to work first.

[PlayfulGenius]

Hopefully I'm not too late, I'll pass them along now.

[PlayfulGenius]

For simplicity and quickness, I'll take all the teams on the left excepyt Lativa vs Russia...and Belarius vs Finland... I'll take 3 as every margin :)

[GirlySports]

Hopefully I'm not too late, I'll pass them along now.

You'll be missing the first 3 games and counting the last 7.

Sorry for missing out on most of these games. It was just to hard for me to get the picks in with the early morning games.


Are you going to be doing one for the Memorial Cup or is having 2 going at the same time too much to handle?

Cuz I think I could get my picks in on time for that.

[GirlySports]

It's hard to do Memorial Cup when they play only 8 games total.

[PlayfulGenius]

well, no one here saw that coming for Canada :(

bummer.

[PlayfulGenius]

Wow, only Offside saw the Finland comeback!!

The final is turning out to be a real dud... c'mon devo, let's step it up for part 2 :)

CZE-SVK is 1-1 late in the 2nd... Looks like this'll be the decider for me and devo, as one of us is bound to hit the margin and take a 2pt lead.

[PlayfulGenius]

damn, hopefully that 3rd Slovakian goal doesn't come back to haunt me... at least I have the lead :)

[GirlySports]

yeah 2-1 and you'd have a 3 point lead. Of course at 2-1 the Czechs could have eventually tied it up ;)

[PlayfulGenius]

Well, i'm happy with my medal round picks.. we'll see.. still either one of us could win, for sure.

[PlayfulGenius]

CofR looks to have an insurmountable lead for the Bronze. Offside is gonna have to Dig Deep!! :)

[OffsideSpecialist]

But we are tied...I don't follow :)

[PlayfulGenius]

oh ya, I forgot this was part 2 of the last round... my mistake.

Oh my, CZE beats FIN by 1... The Final is embarrasing!:bag:

But you're going to win the final, unless Russia wins by exactly 2.

Bronze medal game coming down to the end as well. CofR needs Russia to win by exactly 3.

[devo22]

Congrats PlayfulGenius for winning what has probably been the worst final ever :D

Indeed. I too have a bag over my head...although I am smiling underneath.

[devo22]

Indeed. I too have a bag over my head...although I am smiling underneath.
I bet you do :D I had hopes when Chara scored and made it 5-2, just needed another Slovak goal ... and then Malkin scores, of course. As if I needed another reason to dislike him :mad:

[GirlySports]

I thought Russia would win by 2 or 3 giving someone a miracle victory. But they won by 4.
