Here are the rules:
1. Post your predicted scores of each section’s semifinal games and its final game by the indicated posting deadline. These deadlines are shown in large bold type atop each section listed below. Participants will post their predictions for three games in each of the 8 sections (two semifinals plus the final), or 24 games in all. Note that we will NOT be posting predictions for the quarterfinal games, but in effect you are picking the winners for the quarterfinal games by having to identify the four teams that will play in the semi's.
2. OK to post your predictions for the various sections separately as long as you post each one by the due date. Note the first due date is Wednesday February 6th at 7PM, and this will apply to both Section 1AA and Section 3AA.
3. Points will be awarded as follows:
1 point for correctly identifying each semifinalist team
3 points for predicting the winner of each semifinal game
5 points for predicting the winner of each section final game
2 bonus points for any correct score
Without any correct scores each section will have a maximum of 15 points - everything perfect including scores each section has a 21 point maximum.
Please use this format - here is a sample posting for Section 1AA:
1AA
Lakeville North 1, Owatonna 0
Lakeville South 1, Dodge County 0
Lakeville North 1, Lakeville South 0
Here are the teams from each section and the posting deadline times for each section.
