        Assuming your current pick % held consistent, with your bonus points you'd be in 3rd place if you'd been playing since week 1. That's good enough for a first round bye in the playoffs.

              The race for MacNaughton Cup will come down to these games:
              Code:
                    mbenecke         MTUHuskyGold 
              Fri   UAA              UA_
              Sat   Minnesota State  Bemidji State
              Sat   Ferris State     Lake Superior
              Bonus 90               101
              MTUHuskyGold wins the MacNaughton Cup with a sweep of the three games as long as the Governor’s Cup SOGs are 96 or higher. Every point given up in the picks increases the SOGs bonus requirement by an equal amount. Any other combination gives mbenecke his first MacNaughton Cup.

              The Mason Cup winner will be decided by Saturday’s Mankato/Bemidji and Lake Superior/Ferris games. MavHockey14 needs at least one win and one tie to claim the Cup otherwise the hardware go to sonofcrossjcek.

              Code:
              MavHockey14      sonofcrossjcek
              Minnesota State  Bemidji State
              Lake Superior    Ferris State
              With a 26 point cushion, BGSURICK has sewn up the 36th and final playoff spot. Footballguy51 and Laker Dude can only make up a maximum of 19 points. However, the battle for the first and second alternates is still alive and well. Footballguy51 holds onto the first alternate spot with a Mav win on Friday or a Seawolf win on Saturday as long as the Governor’s Cup SOGs are not between 95-99. Laker Dude is pulling for Bemidji on Friday and the Nanooks on Saturday as long as the Governor’s Cup SOGs are outside the range of 66-74.

              There are too many combinations and permutations to track down for the final two byes. Here’s the picks, you can follow along at home:

                Talons can you please check the crossjcek/sonofcrossjcek entries please. I did not change my pics. My son did, however, a couple minutes after he originally picked. I asked if he used my name or his and he is not sure. Please double check this as I ever only enter my picks once. He wanted to change his this morning so I told him you take the last entry.

                    These picks were sonofcrossjcek's picks, not mine. It's your operation and we appreciate your work on this all year. If you see it fit to change them please do. If it needs to stay the same, under my name, so be it. He's young and is learning that it's just a game. Thank you again.

                      I gave it some thought. While we're all here to have some fun and not get caught up in rules/controversy, your correction post came after the games were played, it's the last week, and there are Mason Cup implications. Normally I'd switch it around but in fairness to MavHockey14 I have to let it stand.

                              What a finish! Lots to get to. First off, congrats to Scrum Bucket for being the week 21 winner with 36 of 40 points going 9-for-10 on the picks and 9-for-10 on the bonus. There were 114 SOGs in the final round of the Governor's Cup; in addition to Scrum Bucket, Drumstix, GoNanooks, and Hockey John each picked up 9 bonus points:

                              Drumstix          9
                              GoNanooks         9
                              Hockey John       9

                              While MTUHuskyGold mounted a late charge, it wasn’t enough to overtake mbenecke who is the 2019-2020 MacNaughton Cup winner! Congratulations mbenecke!! Bring a copy of this post to Rev’s and receive $1.00 off any appetizer.

                              Now to the Mason Cup which, as it turns out, is not without some controversy. I had the race down to two players: sonofcrossjcek and MavHockey14. But I was wrong. WAAAYYYY wrong. Because by going 9-for-10 on this week’s picks, Scrum Bucket drew 3 to an inside straight and has captured the Mason Cup! I do want to give a special call out to sonofcrossjcek who made a gallant effort and hopefully will be back next year.

                              Congratulations to our winners and to all the participants who make this the biggest pick ‘em contest on the USCHO boards.

                                The field is set, it’s now playoff time. I want to remind our two alternates, Laker Dude and footballguy51 that submitting picks is encouraged. You’re not out of this thing just yet.

                                Here’s a link to the playoff rules In short, submit your picks for the first two rounds, I’ll post first round results early Saturday morning so you can see if you advance while having your morning coffee (that reference is for you Miss Thundercat). One more thing: since we are now heads up the link to the detailed picks will not be available until everyone’s picks are in.

                                You’ve done this for 21 weeks; you know how it works.
                                Rounds 1 and 2
