Default Hockey Prognosticating #23 (IIHF) - Stockholm/Helsinki WC - Final Gameday list posted

Hockey Prognosticating – World Championship












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: WC 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)

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.

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

I think the first game starts at 4am Friday.

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

Any suggestions or ideas?

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.
