Since WillieC stated last year that he would be discontinuing the Interlock Pick 'Em, I've decided I'll at the very least get one going for the ECAC-East Conference.
This competition will include all games played by ECAC-E members. However, this being the first post-interlock season for the Pick 'Em, once the NESCAC season begins I will include 1 non-ECACE matchup being played by a NESCAC team each week, to respect the history of the conference.
Each week I will post the schedule in Post #1 of the thread, and the rankings as of the prior week in post #2. (For this thread and the week 1 thread, the schedule will go in post #2) I'll ask you to respond by indicating your predicted winner in BOLD, with the number of goals you anticipate each team scoring written at the end of the line, like so:
Norwich v. St. Michael's 7-3
Babson v. Castleton 4-1
(winner's score, followed by loser's score)
Following the conclusion of all games in a given week, I will tally the scores based on the following rules:
0 points if your team loses or ties
2 points if your team wins
4 points if you correctly pick a tie
-1 to your total for predicting an opposite score (loss)*
+4 to your total for predicting an exact score (win OR tie)
*Opposite score means if you predict Norwich will win 7-3, but they in fact lose 7-3.
Therefore:
Loss, opposite score: -1 points
Loss or unpredicted tie, different score: 0 points
Win, different score: 2 points
Predicted Tie, different score: 4 points
Win, exact score: 6 points
Predicted Tie, exact score: 8 points
Any posts that are posted after puck-drop of a game that is included in that post will be completely invalid (i.e. NONE of your predictions will be scored). So, if you're late and 1 or 2 games have already started: don't even predict them. To prevent a competitor from trying to avoid a -1, any posts that are edited after ANY games on that week's schedules have started will be completely invalid, regardless of whether it includes the games in question or not.
After the 3rd week of this competition, no new entries will have their scores tabulated. You may participate, but you will not be eligible to win, nor will your name or score appear on the rankings.
