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

Hockey Prognosticating – Calgary 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 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)

Seems like interest has died so we'll cancel this one and end the season here.
I was very pleased with being able to go through 21 weeks!

We'll revisit this in the fall and strategize a 2nd season.

Any suggestions let me know!

Round Robin and and a final between the last 2.

In the final, a tie goes to the higher seed, as opposed to using Margins... Puts lots of value on finishing first in the round robin... I like it!!!

You posted this like a few hours ago, be patient!

Oh never mind, I guess you posted it yesterday, but this is the first time I saw it, I'm sure others haven't seen it yet either.

Deadline 10pm tonight then I'll figure out what to do

I was going to have the grand slam followed by a year end...

but this might be the year end.

ok the 6 team round robin will start tomorrow (SUNDAY).

5 round robin games.. no margins, just wins and losses. a tie is a tie. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie.

Any missing picks, the winner will be awarded a 3-0 win. (hopefully with just 6 players, this won't happen)

Top 2 make the final, if the final is also a tie then 1st place in the round robin wins the tournament.

how's that sound!?

I was thinking of making the one after the grand slam something like this
(the year end tournament)

but this may have to do.
