Re: Miac 2011-2012
Example:
Win game = 2pts
Tie = 1pt
Loss/tie = minus 1 pt
2 game prediction correct = 1pt
Is this to much ??
This sounds fun, but the scoring system doesn't quite make sense. I would say one point per right game prediction (e.g. Gac Sweep predicted, GAC sweep = 2 points; GAC loses/ties one= one point, GAC loses both/ties both = 0 points). So a tie would have to be predicted to be correct, etc.
Example:
Win game = 2pts
Tie = 1pt
Loss/tie = minus 1 pt
2 game prediction correct = 1pt
Is this to much ??
Re: Miac 2011-2012
I don't entirely understand it but as long as someone else keeps score I am down for it.

Funny, yea I know what you mean..What is the simplest way to score so we don't confuse everyone?

Re: Miac 2011-2012
it could be based on the % of points correctly predicated? The actual points of the team you predict takes more points (based on the 4 available points for 2 wins), is the numerator. The denominator is the # of points you predicted they would score. If your score is greater than 100%, you subtract 10% from 100% for every point over predicted. Your score = your percentage.
It comes out looking kind of complicated but I think it is simple using the following key (Team A is the team predicted to be superior in the series):
Ex:
1) Predict: Team A sweeps Team B
a) Actual: Team A sweeps Team B (A=4 points) - scoring: 4/4 = 100%
b) Actual Team A wins & ties (A=3 points) - scoring: 3/4 = 75%
c) Actual: Split (A=2 points) - Scoring: 2/4 = 50%
d) Actual: Team A loses & ties (A=1 point) - scoring: 1/4 = 25%
e) Actual: Team A gets swept (A=0 points) - scoring: 0/4 = 0%
2) Predict: Team A gets 3 points (win & tie)
a) Actual: Team A sweeps Team B (A=4 points) - scoring: 4/3= over 100% - subtract 10% = 90%
b) Actual Team A wins & ties (A=3 points) - scoring: 3/3 = 100%
c) Actual: Split (A=2 points) - Scoring: 2/3 = 67%%
d) Actual: Team A loses & ties (A=1 point) - scoring: 1/3 = 33%
e) Actual: Team A gets swept (A=0 points) - scoring: 0/3 = 0%
3) Predict: team A & team B split
a) Actual: Team A sweeps Team B (A=4 points) - scoring: 4/2 = over 100% - subtract 20% = 80%
b) Actual Team A wins & ties (A=3 points) - scoring: 3/2 = over 100% - subtract 10% = 90%
c) Actual: Split (A=2 points) - Scoring: 2/2 = 100%
d) Actual: Team A loses & ties (A=1 point) - scoring: 1/2 = 50%
e) Actual: Team A gets swept (A=0 points) - scoring: 0/3 = 0%
EDIT: After review - I am unsure how to determine who is Team A if you predict a split. This causes problems when it comes to underprediction penalization. Any ideas?

Funny, I will have to stick with what I have...I guess I need to watch more carefully when the games are. I'm sure know one predicted a tie so I'm good..haha
Well St. Thomas and St. Ben's tied last night, so hurry up and change your predictions...

Re: Miac 2011-2012
I did predicated St. Thomas would sweep, but i also predicted St Thomas wouldn't be as good this year so I feel like I broke even.

Re: Miac 2011-2012
They weren't even that solid last year.
I guess to be fair, its less about them not being as talented as they were in the past, and more about other teams closing the gap. I just don't see them having the same dominance they had a few years ago. And I think they will be even closer to the rest of the pack this year. B

Re: Miac 2011-2012
St. Thomas will be good but not like years past. The other MIAC teams have come up with talent and that will show as the season goes by. The MIAC is going to be crazy this year I think. Every team needs to be ready for teams that they have beat in the past. It started last night with St. Bens VS St. Thomas. what upsets are in store for this weekend? Who knows....

5 St. Catherine 2
6 Augsburg 2
7 Saint Benedict 1
8 Hamline 1
9 St. Olaf 1
10 Bethel 0
Too bad for Bethel with Newstrom being out but at least they have GAC out of the way. I was surprised Hamline held SMU so close. Hamline might be the dark horse this year. I was also surprised by Concordia taking care of Olaf, but Concordia is a tough place to play and they definitely have an advantage when playing at home. Obviously the St. Thomas tie to St. Ben's was surprising. St. Kate's freshman heavy roster got a wake up call by splitting with Augsburg. Hopefully that is out of the way for them.
Needless to say, who knows what to expect for next week! Going to be a crazy year. I'll put my predictions out in a bit.

Re: Miac 2011-2012
I agree with you on that the MIAC this year will be wild. Also this is what is fun about hockey any given weekend some team will knock off a so called top team. It get's more interesting after Christmas.

St. Olaf @ River Falls - River Falls will win big, by 3 or 4 goals
As for scoring the whole points thing, I still am partial to my own system, because I think the whole subtracting 10% thing leads to underpredicting being worth more points, because if you only PREDICT 1 point every time, you'll do very well, cause you won't ever get lower than 70%.
