Default 2013 Hockey Prognosticating #22 (NHL - GRAND SLAM) - Calgary Open Congrats bomber317!

Hockey Prognosticating – Calgary Open (GRAND SLAM)

GRAND SLAM!
POINTS DOUBLES
TOURNAMENT IS TWO-WEEKS LONG






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!

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: Calgary 1st Round]. Picks must be sent in by the deadline stated in the GAME LIST.

How the GAME LIST Works

Code:
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)

For this tournament, there will be margins but there will be no ranking of margins. So the margins will not be numbered and treated equally. In case of same number of wins, number of margins correct will still be the first tiebreaker.

PHILADELPHIA VS WINNIPEG (MA)
EDMONTON VS LA KINGS (MA)
TB LIGHTNING VS NY ISLANDERS (MA)
BOSTON VS MONTREAL (MA)
COLORADO VS PHOENIX (MA)
CHICAGO VS NASHVILLE (MA)
NY RANGERS VS CAROLINA (MA)
TORONTO VS NJ DEVILS (MA)
WASHINGTON VS FLORIDA (MA)
CALGARY VS VANCOUVER (MA)

PM picks to GirlySports by Sat April 6 @ 1:00pm Mountain

It's ok, we can start on Tuesday. It doesn't affect anything since it's a 2-weeker.
