We had great participation in the Bracket Competition so I thought you all might be interested in a Semi-finals competition. It's same format I used for Boys last year (and will this year). With only 6 games, they will all be included in the same competition. Here are the rules: • You guess BOTH the half-time AND final scores for each of the 6 Semifinal games. • In case of shootout wins/losses, do NOT add one goal to the winning team • For tie-breaking purposes, also predict the total goals (excluding shootouts) scored by all 12 teams. You earn: • 1 point for picking the correct goals scored for any team by half-time (12 teams x 1 point = 12 points possible) • 2 additional points for guessing the exact half-time score in any game (2 points x 6 games = 12 points possible) • 2 point for picking the correct goals scored for any team by game end (12 teams x 2 point = 24 points possible) • 5 additional points for guessing the exact end of game score in any game (5 points x 6 games = 30 points possible) So if you get the half-time score exactly right and the final score exactly right, you would earn a total of 13 points for that 1 game. A perfect score would be 78 points. The tiebreaker is to pick TOTAL goals scored for ALL 12 teams in ALL 6 games. Deadline: Thursday 2/19 @ 3pm (unless start of first semi is earlier)
Good luck to everyone. Let's earn some bragging rights. |

What am I missing? If I pick the final scores, haven't I already picked the TOTAL goals scored?

You may think every game will score about 3 goals & pick 18 in the details. But you figure one of the games could go 0-0 and on to shots. Gives you the option to say 15 if you like. |

So you can play the over / under against yourself to hedge your bet . . . I like it!  |

St. Fred's not in semi's, should be STA OOOOPPPPPSSS!! Sorry about that. I knew that. Thanks for catching the typo. For anyone previously entered, I'm assuming you knew it was St. Thomas Aquinas not St. Fred's & have simply changed it. If you want to change your entry, simply re-submit a new entry before 3pm Thursday & I'll delete your original entry. Thanks again! |
