Congrats to our 3 "perfect pickers" (HopeConvert, hope80, and Roughrider) for going 7-0 for the tournament, and to Roughrider for winning the whole thing, missing the final margin of victory by just 2 points.

Yikes - league games begin 1 week from today, so....

OK, so here are the rules for the 2010 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

Wed. the  6th:
1 Calvin over Hope
2 Olivet over Albion
3 Adrian over Trine
4 Alma over Kalamazoo

Sat. the 9th:

1 Calvin over Olivet
2 Albion over Trine
3 Adrian over Kalamazoo
4 Hope over Alma

Hope will probably win the MIAA with an 11-3 record or perhaps 12-2.
Calvin will struggle to get to 10-4 or possibly 11-3 if bounces go right.
Albion, and Olivet should finish 9-5, but 10-4 is possible for either or both.
Adrian is next along with Trine.
