The New WCHA IV (2013-14): Unlocked and Cocked

[davyd83]

Not sure what you mean.
UAA is in the playoffs for sure whether they win lose or draw tonight as long as Kato wins.
Just not sure of their destination in the playoffs.
Or is that what you meant?

I mean exactly as I posted.

Yeah because we're so sure Mankato will win? UAA has clinched nothing.

Try paying attention to reality whilst living in pony land and stomping around like a little brat. UAA is in the playoffs. Regardless. Of anything. In. They lost their chance for home ice.

I hope that's helpful. I also hope that it's right. I audited it reasonably extensively, but I'm doing it manually, so ... y'know.

I screwed that up. If UAA is at 26 points, it's 11-13-4. The tie with BSU would go to the C) tiebreaker, W% against teams down the table. UAA really better hope that MSU is the #1 seed, because they went 2-2-0 v. the Mavs against 0-2-0 v. the Bulldogs; the Beavers are 1-3-0 against both squads. Sorry about that. They haven't clinched.



I'll have to consider this, too, sooooo ...

1. NMU ties in Huntsville tonight, 12-14-2 / 26 pts
2. UAA loses to UAF, 11-13-4 / 26 pts
3. BSU beats BG, 11-13-4 / 26 pts
4. LSSU beats FSU, 13-15-0

We've already determined that the A) tiebreaker is out. The B) tiebreaker goes to LSSU, then NMU, and UAA and BSU are then still tied based on; iterating back through the A) tiebreaker doesn't work. Then you go all the way to the C) tiebreaker as listed above.

UAA HAS NOT CLINCHED!

Heh ... I write that scenario here and missed it in the spreadsheet. Sonofa.

That's the only way that I can think of UAA missing the playoffs. That's a pretty unlikely scenario, though. If Ferris wants #1, they have to win; UAF is definitely going to try and destroy UAA again; BSU-BG could happen; NMU is unlikely to tie UAH tonight.

According to the WCHA website, UAA has clinched.

They list all the possible scenarios.

If LSSU beats Ferris, Ferris cannot be the #1 seed. So vs Mankato UAA is 2-2, Bemidji 1-3. UAA wins tie break. Thus it appears UAA has clinched a berth.

Dave is right. I was wrong. I'm sorry. I read BG's numbers off for BSU. I've been staring at this for too long.

When it gets so complicated the mathematicians can't figure it out maybe something should change????

Maybe if they would reward winning teams with three points for a win... and break the ties with a shootout...





... I'll see myself out! No need for that giant hook...

Re: The New WCHA IV (2013-14): Unlocked and Cocked

The oWCHA used to have 5 games (play-in game on Thu, then 2 games Fri and 2 games Sat). Then they got rid of the 3rd place game on Sat, so there were only 5 teams playing, thereby keeping the F5 name correct.

So the nWCHA apparently is just keeping the silly tourney name even though it's meaningless.

Anyway, it looks like it will be a doozy because even at the top, it appears that any team can beat any other, especially on the road.

Fun times, love this new league.

So, Bemidji gets to join Huntsville on the golf course.
