With only 10 days remaining until the first ECAC game of the season, it's time to get this started! For better or for worse, the title is effectively vacant heading into the season, so let's get started crowning a new champ! As always, the contest is easy. Pick the ECAC Standings at the end of the 2019-20 season in order from 1-12 (no ties). Playoff seedings determine the position of the teams in case of a regular season tie.
Scoring is unchanged from last year. In short, you will receive a score based on the square of the distance from your picks to the actual standings (e.g., if you pick a team in 4th but they finish in 7th, you get (7-4)2 or 9 points). Sum those up for the twelve ECAC teams and you'll have a score between 0 and 572. The entrant with the lowest score will be our winner.
You have until the puck drops on the first ECAC contests (RPI at Union; Friday, 25 October at 7 PM EDT) to get your picks in.
Tie breakers are:
Pick correctly the ECACHL Regular Season Champ.
Have the most teams in the correct order of finish.
Have the most top 6 teams in the correct order of finish.
I will flip a coin.
You can change your picks at any time up till the drop of the puck of the first league game, however DO NOT EDIT THE ORIGINAL PICKS. Just put up a new post with your change.
Here are the past winners and biggest losers since 2002:
I'll post updates each week so everyone can keep track of their standing as the year progresses. Good luck everyone!
