2014-2015: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

Re: 2014-2015: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

That probably benefits me. The bonus question has been killing my point total all season.

Fortunately, we have several different "titles" we compete for. That being said, the bonus does have a strong impact on the most prestigious title

Also, because the Beanpot has been delayed until Tuesday, I will also delay posting the standings and Week 16 games until either late Tuesday evening (after the games) or Wednesday morning.

Where did you see the Beanpot was postponed?

So much for the bonus this week...Princeton and Brown skated to a 2-2 draw. Nobody will earn bonus points this week

I think I should get a bonus for picking a time that indicated the game would go to a 5 min OT. I really could use it just sayin.

You were certainly the closest to picking a tie. I could have used plenty of bonus this week too...rough week for me.

Re: 2014-2015: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

As stated previously, because the Princeton-Brown game ended in a tie, nobody earned bonus. That meant that everyone got ranked this week through their picks. 5 people went 10-3-2, which was the best prediction record out of our group. Our pick % this week was 57.39% that brought our overall pick % down to 58.17%.

WEEK 15 STANDINGS:
1. Driftryder - 33 Points (10-3-2)

2. Siouxfaninseattle - 63.33% (141-77-22)
3. NU_Husky - 61.67% (137-81-22)
4. Laker Dude - 61.25% (136-82-22)
5. Pump It Up - 60.83% (135-83-22)

2ND HALF STANDINGS: (Top 5)
1. SweeneyHawksHockey - 161 Points (44-23-8)
2. Pump It Up - 160 Points (41-26-8)
3. Driftryder - 151 Points (43-24-8)
4. manurespreader - 150 Points (46-21-8)
5. Laker Dude - 148 Points (40-27-8)

Total Bonus rankings stayed the same.

Pump It Up increased the lead over NU_Husky, and PIU also is starting to make a push in the other rankings. Driftryder overtook Siouxfaninseattle for the top spot in overall pick%, while SweeneyHawksHockey just barely held on to the 2nd Half standings' top spot. It should be a great run down the stretch for all these different awards.

I will have the Week 16 games posted shortly.

Re: 2014-2015: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

WEEK 16 PICK'EM!!

Deadline: Friday, February, 6, 6:30pm Eastern (drop of puck for first game)
Reminder: Do not pick ties. Going forward, anyone who picks a tie will automatically lose 3 points regardless of the outcome (for those who pick a winner in the game, ties result in 1.5 points awarded).

FRIDAY:
Boston College @ Merrimack –
Boston University @ Massachusetts Lowell –
Harvard @ Yale –
Ohio State @ Minnesota –
Bemidji State @ Michigan Tech –
Canisius @ Robert Morris –
Denver @ Colorado College –
Quinnipiac @ Cornell –

SATURDAY:
Western Michigan vs. Miami –
Michigan vs. Michigan State –
Notre Dame @ Maine –
Union @ St. Lawrence –
Lake Superior State @ Alaska –
Bentley @ Holy Cross –
Air Force @ Sacred Heart –

BONUS: Time* of Game Winning Goal scored in Beanpot Championship (Northeastern vs. Boston University) game on Monday -

Scoring: 3 points awarded for correctly predicting the winner of each game. 1.5 points awarded for a game ending in a tie (unless you predict a tie, then you lose 3 points...don't pick ties).
Bonus Scoring: 20 points for correctly answering the bonus. Then 10 points after that, and subtract 0.5 points for each half minute away from correct answer until 0 (you will not go into the negative)**.

*Please use overall game time. For example, if you believe the game winner will be scored exactly 14 minutes into the second period (i.e. 6:00 left on the clock in the 2nd), you would guess 34:00. If you believe the game winner will be scored 21 seconds into overtime, you would guess 60:21.

**I will calculate the difference between the actual game winner and your prediction. If you are within 30 seconds, you will receive 10 points. Here is the complete table:
00:00 (exactly correct) - 20 points
00:01-00:30 - 10 points
00:31-01:00 - 9.5 points
01:01-01:30 - 9 points
01:31-02:00 - 8.5 points
02:01-02:30 - 8 points
02:31-03:00 - 7.5 points
03:01-03:30 - 7 points
03:31-04:00 - 6.5 points
04:01-04:30 - 6 points
04:31-05:00 - 5.5 points
05:01-05:30 - 5 points
05:31-06:00 - 4.5 points
06:01-06:30 - 4 points
06:31-07:00 - 3.5 points
07:01-07:30 - 3 points
07:31-08:00 - 2.5 points
08:01-08:30 - 2 points
08:31-09:00 - 1.5 points
09:01-09:30 - 1 point
09:31-10:00 - 0.5 points
10:01+ - 0 points

So, if you guess 33:19 and the actual game winner is scored at 37:36, the difference is 04:17. You would earn 6 bonus points.

I figured we might as well try this bonus again with a game that will definitely have a game winner.
