Default Hockey Prognosticating #2 (WHL) - Lethbridge Open - Congrats 3thirty

Intro - You've seen how it's done from tournament #1. Now join in on the fun.

Hockey Prognosticating – Lethbridge Open



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.

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

How the GAME LIST Works

Code:
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)

You were clueless yet you can still win it all!

-----

I hope the WHL one will be better.

A) It's a better timezone.. I don't have to make 11am or noon deadlines or make deadlines on Sunday.

B) There are more games and in general people know more about WHL.

Deadline passes. So we have 7 so someone will get a bye to the semifinals. Not really fair for me to decide who so let's randomize the entire draw. Starting in Week #3 (NHL) we will seed the teams by ranking.

There were 7 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
  1. Drake
  2. Aeneas
  3. 3thirty
  4. Hockey
  5. CofR
  6. ineedanother
  7. PlayfulGenius
Timestamp: 2011-09-22 04:04:00 UTC


Drake is the lucky one.. a bye into the semifinals


Quarter Finals

Games Counted: 0
Games Remaining: 15

00:00 | Drake vs BYE
00:00 | Aeneas vs 3thirty
00:00 | Hockey vs CofR
00:00 | ineedanother vs PlayfulGenius

Quarterfinal GAME LIST (Friday and Saturday)
PRINCE ALBERT at SASKATOON MA1 PTS1
MOOSE JAW at BRANDON MA2 PTS2
SWIFT CURRENT at REGINA MA3
KOOTENAY at RED DEER MA4
EVERETT at PORTLAND MA5

Youre probably right. It's not until about a month into the season when I figure out who is good and who isn't good.
