Post Season Pick Em Contest Rules and Seedings
With the Regular Season Pick Em Contest complete, here are the qualifiers and seedings for the Post Season Pick Em Contest:
No. 1 Seeds: @Play Angry:, @shocker22:
No. 2 Seed: @newshock1234:
No. 3 Seeds: @MadaboutWu:, @proshox:, @ShockerFever:, @shocktheheart:
No. 4 Seeds: @JaminShock:
No. 5 Seeds: @Aargh:, @moshock:
No. 6 Seeds: @im4wsu:, @shockerofandover0943:, @ShockerRadio:, @SumShocker:
No. 7 Seeds: @SHOXJOCK:, @Steeleshocker:, @tropicalshox:, @valleyclimber:
No. 8 Seeds: @Jelloshock:, @RussDaBus:, @ShockerPhi:, @shocks771:, @ShockTalk:
No. 9 Seeds: @AndShock:, @Shockeriffic:, @ShoxFan45:
No. 10 Seeds: @B1ShockFan:, @dregn:, @jdmee:, @vancedave56:
Rules:
Qualifiers are assigned to their initial MVC Tourney game to pick according to the Seedings above. For example, the Number 1 Seeds above correspond to Wichita State and will pick the Wichita State game at 12:05 pm on Friday (Game 3 of the Tourney). This means Seeds 8 and 9 will pick the Thursday night, 6:05 pm game between Drake and Evansville (Game 1 of the Tourney) and Seeds 7 and 10 will pick the Thursday night, 8:35 pm game between Bradley and Loyola (Game 2 of the Tourney).
In this Contest you must predict the winning team and the scores of both teams. The winner of each game will be determined, in this order, by (1) correctly selecting the winning team of the game; (2) having the closest point spread; (3) if needed, as a tiebreaker, having the closest score in total points for both teams, without exceeding the actual total score.
If no one picks the correct winning team, the contestant with the lowest point spread for the losing team will be declared the winner. Only one winner will advance to the next round in the Tournament Bracket. Since we cannot have ties, you cannot predict a score that has already been used by another contestant. Therefore, there could be an advantage to posting early. However, this may turn out to be a disadvantage if a late injury report or other development occurs. No edits are allowed. You cannot change your original prediction. Only your original prediction will be considered and if that prediction can no longer be verified, you will be disqualified.
Separate threads will be posted for each game of the MVC Tourney for qualifiers to post their predictions.
There is one grand prize for the Post Season Pick Em Contest, a $50 Visa gift card to the winner of this tournament bracket contest. Good luck to all.
Contact me if any of these rules are unclear or you have any questions about them. I will be in St. Louis and will try to update the winners of each game as soon as possible—probably after each session of games. But hopefully with the above rules, the winner of each game will be clear and no judgments calls will be necessary.
Go Shocks!
