ECAC Pick 'em, "Preseason" Week 1

Rainman

Raider Fan
Welcome everyone, to the ECAC Weekly Pick 'em contest, 2022-23 edition!

The first 4 weeks of this contest are the "preseason", where you will pick the winners for each ECAC non-conference game. You get one point for each correctly picked win, and two points for each correctly picked tie. After the first 4 weeks, the poster with the most points will receive a bonus point in the "regular season" contest, which will consist of only league games that count in the ECAC standings.

GoldenBear is the defending champion. To play, simply post who you think the winner will be for each game, or mark a contest as a tie with the word "tie". Also, please enter the total goals scored by ECAC teams, as that will serve as a tiebreaker. I will record your score based on the absolute value of the difference between predicted and actual ECAC goals scored. I strongly recommend that you copy and paste the games listed below into a new post, and submit your picks in the order of the games listed by either bold-facing the winner or simply writing "tie" next to a game. This will make keeping score much easier for me.

You have until 4 PM on Saturday to submit your picks. Anyone can play, and good luck to all!

Thanks, Rainman! I am back to defend my Pre-Season title. Of course, my glorious bonus point could not salvage my stupid picks in the regular season. Sigh.

I am confused. Colgate @ RPI is classified by RPI as a scrimmage, not a game. OTOH RPI is playing an exhibition game on Sunday vs. U. Toronto. I will go with what you wrote unless this is modified.

It's the "preseason" round, so I'm including all D1 vs. D1 games, regardless of whether or not they count in the team's overall won-loss record and statistics.

For those wondering, Colgate at RPI and Providence at Quinnipiac are "scrimmages" this weekend. They won't count in the Pairwise come March.

OTOH RPI is playing an exhibition game on Sunday vs. U. Toronto. I will go with what you wrote unless this is modified.

Both of RPI's (and Colgate's) games this weekend "don't count" in the record books. How/why are the Oct. 1 and 2 games classified differently? (Scrimmage vs. Exhibition)
