The Trine game versus Olivet started at 1 p.m.

Trine has a 13 point lead at the half, and they really want home court for the MIAA tournament game.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Well, I had my first perfect 20 point week of the season.  But a) I doubt I was the only one, and b) it is the very definition of 'too little, too late'!

Well played, Mr. Ypsi.
But my esteemed, if not inestimable, buddy -- the oldknight -- appears to have captured the prize for prescient prognostication this year, promptly and sincerely.

Thanks to FDF for sponsoring this season's pick 'em contest. After last year's fiasco containing scurrilous and unsubstantiated charges of favoritism, scandal and corruption--accusations that were only put to bed (ahem) with advice from sure footed counsel--I wasn't confident the esteemed commish wanted to re-up for another season.

This season's winner awaits his gift certificate for a Twinburger to Russ' Restaurant.

Just over 2 weeks to the start of league play, so here are the rules for the 2016 version of the MIAA Pick 'Em contest.  No change in the rules from the last few years, and everyone is welcome.

- 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 (and you must use each confidence number once for each game day).  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.

If this looks awfully familiar, it's because I exactly agree with the sample used.
