CCHA Pick ‘Em 2023-24: Augie's In!

TalonsUpPuckDown

Roll along you BG Warriors!
CCHA Pick ‘Em 2023-24

Welcome Pick ‘Em fans to the 2023-24 season of the CCHA Pick ‘Em contest; we’re now up to 9 CCHA league teams…yay! Here are the rules:

Click the link, fill out the form (don’t forget your screen name), submit your picks. If you want to change any of your picks, fill out a new form; I will take the last submission as your final answer.
If you are filling out picks for someone else, be sure to use the proper screen name – once the form is submitted no changes will be allowed.

Scoring:
3 points for a win (regulation or NCAA OT)
2 points for a shootout win (CCHA conference games only)
1 point for a shootout loss (CCHA conference games only)
0 points for a loss (regulation or NCAA OT)

For OOC regular season and specific tournament games there will be the option to pick a tie. If the game ends in a tie at the end of the NCAA OT period, 3 points will be awarded. If either team wins, zero points will be awarded.

Periodically there will be a bonus question (or two...) worth 5-10 points. There are also three bonus questions available only in week 1 that will cover the entire CCHA regular season.

Only NCAA-sanctioned games will be counted (no exhibition games).

Playoffs will be single elimination. Playoff participation and seeding will be determined based on the number of participants and overall standings. More on the playoffs later.

Four awards are up for grabs:
o MacNaughton Cup – Regular season champion as determined by total points - Last Year’s Winner: Icd80
o Mason Cup – Playoff champion - Last Year’s Winner: ClassyC
o Bill Beagan Trophy – Highest regular season points percentage (based solely on picks, no bonus) - Last Year’s Winner: mbenecke
o Jeff Sauer Trophy –Most bonus points - Last Year’s Winner: beaverhockeyfan (that’s two in a row, now going for the 3-peat!)

One would think that after so many years I would remember to set the sharing privileges on the Google sheet. Yeah, no. Apologies, fixed.
 
As the artist formely known as ClassyC (never got the ability to post and fianlly gave up and made another account), thanks for setting this up again. Last year was my first year and was a heck of a time...and I definetly had beginners luck in the playoffs!

Good luck everyone
 
First off, apologies to the group. I use the CHN composite to load the CCHA games into my tracker and they didn't have the Augustana games for this weekend (in fact, they still don't). Subsequently, Augie's first two games didn't make it into the pick 'em.

Secondly, week 2 will see both a Thursday and a Sunday game. Here's a link to the week 2 form for you early birds, week 1 results will be posted on Monday.

With 36 contestants lined up at the start of week 1, the contestant first off the line and claiming the week 1 win was BGHockeyFan94 with 21 points who, notably, went 4-for-4 on Sunday and was the only player to do so. Other notable performances include Lost_Husky who was the only contestant to correctly pick the Tech/Duluth tie on Saturday, Redridge who went 4-for-4 on Saturday including the Tommies win over St. Cloud, Lakerchum who successfully pulled off the anti-BGHockeyFan94 on Sunday, and the entire field for correctly picking the Lakers to fall to the Spartans on Saturday.

There are a whopping 16 games for week 2 with a Thursday puck drop so get those picks in early. The First Augie Win bonus comes into play with BG heading to Sioux Falls.

Classic me not turning on the light bulb until Sunday night. *facepalm* Can I at least get the Year End bonuses?

Either way, Great to be back! Hopefully I can finally shake that sophomore slump!
 
Congratulations to puckdude40 who is our week 2 winner with a whopping 29 points and has taken over first place by 5 points over mikeeddy19 and BGSURICK. Special shout out to Lakerchum and SectionP who were the only 2 contestants to correctly pick the Alaska/Tech tie on Saturday. Seven contestants picked Augustana to rock the Falcons (2 on Saturday, 5 on Sunday) this weekend. No one picked the Vikings to sweep.

In the “That didn’t take long” category, the Augie first win bonus paid out to 11 contestants and is included in everyone’s scores for the week. Also, there is now an 11-way tie for first place in the Race for the Sauer (highest number of bonus points for the year):
Code:
Contestant       Bonus
beaverhockeyfan    2
BGHockeyFan94      2
BGSURICK           2
Critical Thinker   2
Footballguy51      2
GoNanooks          2
Hockey John        2
Lakerchum          2
mbenecke           2
puckdude40         2

We’re back to a regular Friday/Saturday schedule for week 3.

Well, three unnamed players are suspended by the university while it investigates the hazing allegations. Could those two be part of the three?

Yes. Tommy Pasanen, who is a portal transfer, appears to be the third.

Let's move further discussion on this subject over to the CCHA thread.
