Men's Conference Tournament NPI Predictor

Hello folks,

After 11 years of releasing women's hockey tournament predictors (click here to see this year's version well underway), I have finally managed to put together a men's predictor. Essentially, you fill in the conference tournament brackets, and once complete, it will spit out the resulting NPI rankings.

CHN does this as well, but I think mine is releasing earlier than theirs (their page says theirs will release after the final best of 3 quarterfinal which would be March 15th, and I'm releasing mine this Saturday March 7th after the last regular season game), but more than anything this has just been a bit of a passion project of mine for a decade-plus and I'm really just excited to have been able to pull it off.

Anyway, this thing is incredibly complicated and if anyone would be willing to accept a copy by email that opens in Excel to play around with and try to break it / find any bugs or errors, I would be pretty grateful. Shoot me an email at grant dot salzano at gmail.

Thanks!

People who can do things like this amaze me. Well done. I won't use it at all but consider me impressed that you built it.
Lol thank you -- I originally just did it for myself since no predictors existed for women's hockey, and then found a bunch of people were glad to have it. After the men's move to NPI simplified things from the Pairwise I decided to take on the challenge for fun.

Couldn't tell you why I enjoy it so much but I could sit there for hours working on it and it's like therapy hahaha
 
With the final regular season games in the books, my men's hockey predictor is now live!


Please let me know if you spot any bugs or have any issues. You can reply here, or shoot me an email at grant dot salzano at gmail.

I'm also happy to email an offline copy to anyone who would like one as I know sometimes it can be a little clunky on the web.

Thanks!
