ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

Talk about a freefall! :eek: I guess I should be happy I'm still ahead of DrD...

If being close to the bottom of the list is the worst thing that happens to me this year-I would still be a pretty happy fellow. What bothers me is that every year, Jenny makes these ridiculous picks and she always ends up being ahead of me. She and i have our own little side bet and this year it could cost me the purchase of some very expensive jewelry!:(
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

Two weeks to go and The Random Number has been overtaken by Go Puckman for the contest lead. The Fan Average has risen to 32nd. TcherBill has replaced cudmud for last and once again no matter what happens as the standings change, the good Doc is still behind Jenny.

Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

Even though most of my picks were way off, I'm completely OK with how the standings are working out right now :D

I think that all of us RPI fans are. Considering that I picked Cornell and Harvard as 1 and 2, it's amazing that I am in the upper half of the listing. I think that we all should run random number generators next season. :D
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

How is it that I'm usually in, or at least near, the top tier of the weekly game-results contest, but I'm always battling for dead last in the standings contest?

you and me both RB-I had Harvard and Cornell near the top. But if the season ended today i would be quite content. RPI holding down second has not happened in a long time. What is even better is that they are playing like a second lace team (or even higher!).:)
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

I’ll worry when I hit 500 points. By the way, what is the record high score?

Some interesting tid bits about the contest.
I only have kept the stats back to the 2002-2003 season. This was the first year I ran the contest with the current scoring system.

If Go Puckman can hold on to the lead, he (she) will be the first 2 time winner of the contest.
If TchrBill can hold on to last place he will be the first contestant that has finished both first and last in the contest :D
If The Random Number can overtake Go Puckman it can likewise be the first contestant that has finished both first and last (3 times) :rolleyes:
If cudmud can overtake TchrBill for last, he (she) will be the first 2 time last place finisher other than The Random Number
Lowest winning score was 26 points by Red Cloud who retired from this contest after that win. ;)
The prior highest winning total to date is 128 by Tchrbill.
As to DrDemento vs JennyRN, JennyRN has beaten the Doc 6 times and there has been 1 tie over the last 10 years.

Here is a table of the 1st and last place finishers over the last 10 years

Actually I have done better here than in most other things.:eek: I don't even expect to win here at home. I consider a tie like winning the Super Bowl in this house. ;)

One week to go in the Regular Season and we have one Barn Burner of a contest. Tied at the top are The Random Number and Go Puckman. cudmud has replaced TcherBill for last with only 2 points separating them. The Fan Average has risen to 30th. The good Doc has an 18 point deficit to make up on Jenny. Don't forget, next Sunday our Champion will be Crowned and all of us losers can enter the ECAC Pick The Playoffs contest :) .

Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

Congrats to the Quinnipiac Bobcats for their first Regular Season ECAC Championship and congrats to our first two time winner Go Puckman, with the highest winning total in the programs history. The Random Number faded to the 24th spot. cudmud has become a two time last place finisher. The Fan Average ended in 26th. The good Doc could not make up the 18 point deficit to Jenny so open up the wallet and pay up Doc.

Congrats to TimU and GoldenBear who had the most correct finishes at 3. Harvard and Cornell by far cost contestants the most points and Union the least. Attached shows the average points each team cost the contestants in the contest.

Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

Vic: Thanks for running this again for us all. And yes it will cost me. Jenny speaks 2 languages French and Italian(when it comes to jewelry) so i suppose this will mean either Bvlgari or Cartier.:eek:
 
Re: ECAC Pick The Standings Contest 2012-2013

As always, thank you Vic for running the contest again. And thank you cudmud for keeping me out of last place:) Wish I knew Go Puckman's secret.
