I'll preface this by saying that yes, I know, it's early! But since most people (including me) will be very busy and/or travelling over the Holiday Season, I wanted to give everyone plenty of time to participate and to post their predictions at their convenience.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

There are many tournaments over the Holidays, but this year three tournaments in particular will feature many of the State’s top teams. These are:

1. The ABRA Invitational, hosted by Edina and played at Braemar Arena from December 26-28.
2. The 2012 Eagles Mid-Winter Meltdown, hosted by Eden Prairie and played at the Eden Prairie Community Center from December 27-29.
3. The 18th Annual Kaposia Classic Invitational, hosted by South St. Paul and played at Wakota Arena from December 29 – January 1.

Collectively, these tournaments will comprise Weeks 7 and 8 of our “Big Games” contests, but due to the tournament format the scoring system will be a little different. Here is how it will work for each of the three tournaments:

a. Pick your winners of the four quarterfinal games. Each predicted winner will be worth 1 point.
b. For the Quarterfinal games ONLY, also include your predicted score. An extra bonus point will be given for each correct score.
c. Identify the winner of each Semifinal Game. Each predicted semifinal winner will be worth 2 points.
d. Identify the winner of the Championship Game. A correct prediction of the winner of a tournament Championship Game will be worth 3 points.
e. Most points for all three tournaments combined will determine our winner!

> In the event of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be a correct prediction of the winner of the 3rd Place Game in the Kaposia Tournament.
> If still tied, the second tiebreaker will be a correct prediction of the winner of the Consolation Championship in the Kaposia Tournament.

The deadline for posting your predictions is 12PM sharp on December 26th!

Hey hockey prognosticators!!! Keep in mind the players that will be gone in Finland on the 18U National team over Christmas break! For example: In the EP Tournament Minnetonka will not have Morin or Baldwin, BSM will not have Pannek, Eagan will not have Wolfe...etc. Make sure the teams your picking do not have their players missing.

Great point, 36Guy!

And in addition to the three teams you mention, it looks like Blake (which will be without Dani Cameranesi) and Hopkins (will be missing Nina Rodgers) are also affected.

Also representing Minnesota and playing for the USA in Finland will be Amy Menke of Shakopee and Kate Schipper of Breck, although neither of these two teams are in any of our three Holiday Tournaments here.

Congrats to you Knight7 and also to mnhockey3535 for predicting the Knights' upset win over the Royals. The rest of us thought Hopkins, currently ranked No. 11 in AA, would prevail.

So, heading into this evening's two quarterfinal games, we have a 3-way tie for first place between Knight7, mnhockey3535 and Silent But Deadly, each with 2 points. The rest of us are, for the moment, stuck at 1.
