yeah you've had a couple of good weeks Drake ! The contest Gods have decided to only allow me to knock on the door of those dizzying heights of contest rankings :-) It's tough to make some separation with your opponents unless maybe if you finish 1st or 2nd. RedWingskiddo actually had the most correct picks but did not double up on a game.

Congratulations to rwfan007 and RedWingskiddo with a score of 16/21 ! Week 18 Results 1. rwfan007 16/21 1. RedWingskiddo 16 3. Dano33 15 4. Drake_Marcus 14 4. GoWings1905 14 6. kook_10 13 6.

10th place for me,wow I didn't see that coming ;-) That's 7 out of the last 8 weeks I've been in that narrow range of 6th-10th place,weird ! If not anything else I'm consistent I guess.......

thanks aussie ! and thanks to you for running a great contest in a professional way. It's sort of fun adding the picks up but I definitely feel the pressure to get it right.

I picked Detriot to win this game out of logic.......first time in a while I picked them. I figure Chicago is 11-9 away from home this year (I always lump overtime losses in with regular losses for contest purposes) and Detroit is 14-9 at home !?

yeah I was thinking that also when I was making my selections,only about 2 games were giving me a hard time. I didn't look into this but I bet most of the x2 selections (the sure thing?) were gotten wrong by people including myself but who would have guessed that Chicago was going to collapse this weekend

ok guys i counted these totals up for all of us that need a contest fix this morning. I hope I didn't make any mistakes.Lots of 9's in the totals.These totals do include Aussie's great new x2 scoring :-) Week 14 1.dat's sick 13/21 1.Dano33 13 3.Bry-O 12 3.hockeychik22 12 5.SeeinRed 11 6.CrossCheck24 10 6.edicius 10 6.I Red Wings I 10 9.kook_10 9 9.akustyk 9 9.Aussie_Wing 9 9.Drake_Marcus 9 9.wingsfanatic4alltime 9 9.naranja 9 9.T-Ruff 9 9.interminded 9 9.#19=Legend 9 18.TheDetroitRedWings 8 18.FinRedWing 8 18.wingsgirl001 8 18.

hokeychik22,I took a look at quite a few entries this morning,you might be No. 1 so far

this game is going to be completed at some point this season,correct ? If so points can be added to peoples overall score then.Although it is looking a little unlikely that points will be involved with a 3-0 score but you never know...... Edit / UPDATE: game to resume on Sunday http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=513041

9 of approx 38 contestants picked that game....50% ? down 3-0,hardly seems fair

fortunately I don't get as emotionally involved as I did when I was a youngster.Just too much disappointment in being a sports fan.

yeah when I first read what you proposed I thought great a reward,what's the risk? If a person didn't want to take any risk they could just make their selections as they normally would with no "double upping" Drake,no way would I double up on the pens anytime soon,you never know which team is going to show up,the one that wants to win or the one that just wants to make the pretty passes during the PP :-)

my suggestion that I just sent to aussie in a IM was to keep it the way he proposed it but if your doubled up team loses you get a point subtracted from your total.

without the drop 3 rule you would be down 21 to the leader right now.this way your only down 13

no problem Aussie but I wouldn't take my totals as 100% accurate. I got a question about the drop 3 rule. Are we just going to drop the 3 worse from contests 1-13 or will you continue to drop the lowest scores throughout the rest of the season ? If you did the latter,that could get a little time consuming for you...always having to go back through everyone's score to make sure you excluded the lowest 3.

You drop your 3 lowest scores from this season,including missed weekends like what happened with some in this most recent contest.
