Re: WCHA Playoff Round One Match Up

Funny ! Me type like Homer. :-). Yes, I'm asking albeit it poorly, where will DU be seeded with a win tomorrow.
 
Re: WCHA Playoff Round One Match Up

3-way tie for 4th has WI in 4th, DU in 5th and MSU in 6th, DU would play CC, WI plays UMD and MSU plays UNO. A loss or tie by DU puts them in 6th and they play UNO. MSU holds tiebreaker over WI so they end up 4th and WI ends up 5th in that scenario. MSU would play UMD and WI would play CC.

Minnesota State hosts Nebraska-Omaha

If DU doesn't win tomorrow:

Re: WCHA Playoff Round One Match Up

du and duper,

Not to ruin anyone's party here, but if DU wins today, they end up tied with both Wisconsin and MSUM. From the WCHA web site, in that event, the records in games between the teams is the first tiebreaker, and du beats wisconsin in that tb, by this amount:
Denver : 2-1-1 = .625
Wisconsin: 3-2-1 = .583

So, DU would be 4th, and host Duluth, not CC.

If DU loses, they face Omaha, as previously stated.

Now, if someone has something different from the WCHA office, it would be nice to see it.

Not true, here is from today's WCHA press release, they indicate with a DU win, WI gets 4th, DU gets 5th and MSU gets 6th. http://www.wcha.com/men/pres1213/201303/mar10wcm.php

If Denver wins Sunday then there is a 3-way tie for 4th. Taking the h2h series records we get Wisconsin +1 (1-0-1 vs Denver, 2-2-0 vs Minnesota State), Denver E (2-0-0 vs Minnesota State, 0-1-1 vs Wisconsin) and Minnesota State -1 (0-2-0 vs Denver, 2-2-0 vs Wisconsin). Wisconsin thus gets the #4 seed. Denver then gets the #5 seed over Minnesota State (2-0-0 series win). So a Denver win results in #4 Wisconsin, #5 Denver, #6 Minnesota State.

If Denver ties or loses tomorrow then they will finish #6 by themselves. The tie for 4th goes to Minnesota State over Wisconsin. They split season series 2-2-0, Minnesota State has more WCHA wins (16 to 13). So a Denver loss or ties results in #4 Minnesota State, #5 Wisconsin, #6 Denver.

Thank you. So, rather than doing a cumulative record, they use the individual team v team results, and tally them..Interesting.

That means, hypothetically, that it would not have mattered if Denver were 4-0 v Mankato.

That is true, I guess it is that way because of the unbalanced schedules.
