There is a sticky above to enter your predictions, but as of 3:00PM Feb 17 we have only 5 entries. The Class A deadline is 20 hours away. Of course, with fewer entries, there is theoretically a greater chance for some of us to win (or at least guarantee finishing in the top 5). :wink:

Here are the high-level contest rules:

1. Class A predictions (all games) must be posted by Wednesday, February 18 at 11:00AM.
2. Class AA predictions (all games) must be posted by Thursday, February 19 at 11:00AM.

3. We will predict scores for the quarterfinal games only. Predicting the WINNER of each quarterfinal game is worth 3 points. Any correct quarterfinal SCORE adds 2 bonus points.
4. Predicting the WINNER of the four semifinal games is worth 5 points (each).
5. Predicting the WINNER of the Third Place and Consolation games is worth 4 points (each).
6. Predicting the WINNER of the two championship games is worth 10 points (each).

As of 8:45pm we're now up to 11 who have posted their fearless predictions, but we're still well behind last year's total of 27!

While it's great to have some new posters participating this year, WE NEED MORE! And, there are a dozen or so regulars who are HOLDING OUT!

If you are short of time, or just want to spend more time mulling things over, just post your predictions for Class A first, by tomorrow's 11AM deadline. You'll then have a whole 24 more hours to post AA.

Good luck to everyone who posts*!

No, he's holding out until his alter ego gives them the OK. ;)
