2012-2013: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

Re: 2012-2013: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

I was hoping to see one point for each game.:D:p

With a 47 point bonus for getting all three correct? :p:D:D

I figured the Frozen Four should be worth more than the regional or conference tournament rounds, so that's why I went with 50. I also wanted to make it so that any of the regulars who have been playing all season have at least a theoretical chance of winning. Ultimately, if you get all 3 games correct you have a tremendous chance at winning.

The way the last two rounds have gone, I'm not real optomistic about getting any of the games correct.

Considering how we all have done the last few weeks, it is entirely possible that nobody gets all 3 games correct. That was one of the reasons why I included the total goals portion and why I structured it the way I did. Of course, given our track record of late, that's also why I specified that nobody can get an overall score below 0. :p:D:D

I don't anticipate using "my" picks. :eek:

So if I get the teams wrong (likely) and the points correct (I didn't do particularly bad the other week) I would score 20 points? At 40% of available points that would be my best week in a long time!

FS23,
Thank you for managing this thread. I've enjoyed playing along since week 8. It's been fun and it allows you to look at and get a feel for many different teams among the 59. If you have it next season, I will try to play from the beginning.
After the NC, when you post the final results, can you please post more than the top ten?
Thanks again!

I fully anticipate running this again next season. I believe we started a bit late this year, so I think next year I'll try and have the thread up and running around October 1st.

After the NC, I'll post all the players who played, their rank, and points scored. For those that I kept track (about the top 20 or so, any anyone who started up here in the last few weeks), I will also post the correct pick %. For the Frozen Four, only the semifinals will count for the correct pick %.

I predict the winning team(s) will have the fewest NHL draft picks and the lowest number of early departures. So far my system has been spot-on.

But you would have failed miserably during the regular season and would be one of the lowest point getters on our leaderboard. Your correct pick % would be slightly lower than 20% overall.

Nice System. :p:D:D
