Damn, I though CZE over USA would be the upset pick that would set me apart
I was all excited that the game was still tied going into the 3rd... oh well, I guess I'll have to be happy with them upsetting FIN!!

Hockey, OffsideSpecialist and devo22 have advanced to the semifinals.
Hockey is up 2 margins on CofR with just one game left (MA3: SLOVAKIA 2, MA2: CANADA 1.
PlayfulGenius is up 1 margin on ineedanother (MA6: CZECH REP 3)
PlayfulGenius will advance unless Russia wins by 3.
Looks like that Slovakian comeback affected at least 3 of our games!

Hahaha, Russia is up by 3 as of right now
What happens if Russia wins by 3 but the score is other than 6-3?

Russia just needs to win by 3.
Margins would be 1-1
MA1 > MA6

I like that rule, as you obviously did that so that later games have an increased significance... Well done!

I guess that means the score predicted for MA1 can only come into play when the margins for that game are the same, correct?

or if neither player matches the MA1.
I think I'm up to nearly 7 ways to win now
If Russia wins by 3, ineedanother would win under Rule #4 I think

Semifinal Differences
If Finland beats Slovakia then both of our semifinals will have one difference (Sweden vs. Finland)

So with Finland winning today none of the margins matter.
Sweden-Finland semifinal will decide both our semifinals

2-2 after OT... going to shoot-out... shots were 57-24 for SWE, so I guess I can't feel 'robbed' by the comeback

Finalists are Hockey and devo22
Hockey makes a return to the final, devo22 makes the final in his first tournament!
Here's the GameList for the final. It's quick turnaround (11am tomorrow) so I thought I'd get the list out early.
FINAL GAMELIST JAN 4-5 (5 GAMES)
LATVIA vs DENMARK MA5
USA vs SUISSE MA4
CZECH REP. vs SLOVAKIA MA3
FINLAND vs RUSSIA MA2
FINLAND vs CANADA MA2
SWEDEN vs RUSSIA MA1 PTS
SWEDEN vs CANADA MA1 PTS
PMs picks to GirlySports by WED JAN 4 @ 11am Mountain
I've put in both scenarios for the Bronze and Gold Medal games. If you need to send now then just include everything, if you wait til after the final then just send the correct scenario. I will re-publish the GameList after the 2nd semifinal.

I'd fire any coach that has a zero fore-checker system when playing with the lead... just brutal... the Finnish coach dug their grave once they were up 2
I've never understood the logic of changing a gameplan or system that garnered the lead in the first place... make the other team adapt first, my goodness, that should be obvious to anyone.
This happens in the NHL too, we don't need to look any further than our beloved Flames, makes no sense to me.

Canada 4! Hockey has the first margin correct.
devo22 can only win now if it's Russia 2 tonight.
