First, I'd like to thank Burgie12 for running this contest for the last few years and for allowing me to take over the job.
The rules and scoring will be nearly identical to previous seasons, with only one change (we'll get there). Without further ado, here we go!
As always, this contest is open to anyone who wants to play, not just the RPI faithful. It can take as few as 15 seconds to make your picks each week so why not play!
In general, you will pick one player from each team for each RPI game. You can't pick the same player twice in a weekend, and the rules are slightly different for tournaments (like the one we have the first real week of the season, but we'll climb that mountain when we get to it).
Picks must be submitted (or finalized) by puck drop of the first game of the weekend. If a player you've chosen is injured during the course of the weekend, you may select another player if you let me know before the start of the next game. If you're not sure if you're allowed to make a change in your picks, make a new pick anyway and I'll decide whether or not you can make the change.
To keep everyone from picking the same person, the top scoring forward and defenseman (by hockey points, NOT PtC points) from each team will be ineligible for selection. This rule will not come into effect until a player has at least five points.
Point Breakdown:
Forwards
Goal - 2 pts
Assist - 1 pt
Defensemen
Goal - 3 pts
Assist - 2 pts
Goaltenders
Quality Start - 2 pts (NEW, see explanation here)
Shutout - 3 pts (Only to be awarded when the goalie plays the full game)
Goal - 10 pts
Assist - 4 pts
The designation for whether a player is at forward or defenseman will be determined on a game-to-game basis according to the box score at collegehockeystats.net.
The player who earns the most points in a week will earn themselves a bonus point.
Finally, if for some reason you can’t get to the board to make your picks, feel free to contact me in another way. I’ll use the timestamp to determine if you beat puck drop. (One of) my email(s) is my USCHO handle at gmail. If you have my cell, you can text me. If you’re my friend on Facebook, you can message me there. Don’t make a habit out of submitting picks off-board, but I understand that emergencies happen.
With all of that out of the way, let’s drop the puck!
