I appreciate the offer but it was confidence points that held me down in the regular season! There is apparently no solution for my post-season woes. Actually, I can think of one...

Congratulations to hope80 on winning the MIAA tournament pick 'em, with a perfect 7-0 record, as well as hitting the margin of victory on the head with 5.  This is the second year in a row a picker had a perfect entry.

Kudos also go to WAlum for picking all 7 games correctly.

1 week til the start of league play, so here are the rules for the 2012 version of the MIAA Pick 'Em contest (no change from last year).

- Prior to the beginning of the first game on any given day, pick the winner of each game.  You must also indicate confidence points 1 through 4.  If you picked the winning team, you will be awarded the number of confidence points you put on that game (See example below).

- Any late picks will be counted as incorrect, and no points will be awarded.

- I will post a weekly update on the standings. 

- The ultimate winner to be decided by point total.  Any ties in point total will be broken by pick percentage.  If a tie still exists, the commissioner automatically wins- just kidding.

- Any disputes may be taken up with the commissioner (that's me) and I will make a final and fair ruling (I promise).


Pick Em example:

Let's say I used the picks below (the team I picked to win is bolded) and the number is my confidence points:

Team A vs Team B - 2
Team C vs Team D - 4
Team E vs Team F - 3
Team G vs Team H - 1

If the winning teams are B, D, F, and H, I would have gone 3-1 and have accrued 7 points.

Here is the slate of games for week 1:

Wednesday, January 4
Hope at Alma, 8 p.m.
Calvin at Adrian, 8 p.m.
Olivet at Albion, 8 p.m.
Trine at Kalamazoo, 8 p.m.

Saturday, January 7
Adrian at Hope, 3 p.m.
Albion at Calvin, 3 p.m.
Kalamazoo at Olivet, 3 p.m.
Alma at Trine, 3 p.m.
