Atlantic Hockey Pick the Standings Contest 2022-23 (Blitz Edition)

As always, I am late to this. Some games have already been played (2) and a few more will be played before the deadline to enter is up.

You will have until Thursday, October 20th, at 9:05PM EST to get your picks in. You have a little cheating room over the Coaches Poll, since they won last year.

So, we are just going to process this for the remainder of the year. Enjoy yourself. Your prize is your name written at the top of this post next season. Blitz was our first human winner from the 2021-22 season...Coaches Poll and 2019-20 Comparison Result were first and second, respectively...can you knock them out of the topic title!?

Here is how it will work. The following is plagiarized:

Pick the Atlantic Hockey Standings at the end of the 2022-23 season in order from 1-10 (no ties). Playoff seedings determine the position of the teams in case of a regular season tie.

Scoring is as follows: 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 eleven Atlantic Hockey teams and you'll have a score between 0 and 330. The entrant with the lowest score will be our winner.

You have until Thursday, October 20th, at 9:05PM EST, just before the RIT v. Air Force game, to get your picks in.

Tie breakers are:

Pick correctly the Atlantic Hockey 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 on October 20th, however DO NOT EDIT THE ORIGINAL PICKS. Just put up a new post with your change.

Just like last time, I look forward to participating with the 5 people that may see this. Can we make it 6?
