Re: "Independent" Pick'em - Gotta have something to do...
Five perfect scores were shot down by the BSU/UNO tie... such is life. UAH almost pulled one off on Friday evening having put Merrimack down 3-0 in the 2nd period only to turn it around and give up a 4 goal third period to keep from ruining anyones picks... You hear that Beavers!!! Anyway, everyone's back in action again this week so have some fun with your picks.
As to the question of counting or not counting the UAH/U-18 games, the vote is in. Since I DQ'd myself to make sure there were an odd number of votes, we had a regular take the week off and they were once again even. Didn't matter though, 3 people voted to keep them Bonus games; 5 people voted to count them and two abstained. Since the regular that didn't play this week's vote would not change the outcome I deem the vote official and the UAH/U-18 games will count towards the final standings. That makes the total game count 179 of which you will have to have picked at least 130 of them to qualify for the title as the "Best Picker" for the season... we may have to change that title though...
Anyway, here are the standings after 15 weeks of play:
