Continuing the tradition of past years we invite all forum readers to participate in this year’s ‘2013 State Tournament - Pick the Winners Challenge’. There are no prizes other than the highest possible level of esteem being bestowed on those who are talented (or lucky?) enough to do well. Plus it’s a fun way of following the progress of both the Class A and AA tournaments as you root for your favorite teams.

Here are the six simple rules:

1. Class A predictions (all games) must be posted by Wednesday, February 20 at 11:00AM.
2. Class AA predictions (all games) must be posted by Thursday, February 21 at 11:00AM.
3. We will only post predicted game scores for the first days’ games in each class (quarterfinal games only). Predicting the WINNER of each quarterfinal game is worth 3 points. Any correct quarterfinal SCORE adds 2 bonus points.
4. Predicting the WINNER of the four semifinal games is worth 5 points (each).
5. Predicting the WINNER of the two championship games is worth 10 points (each).
6. In the event of a tie after all the points are added up the first tiebreaker will be the Class AA 3rd Place winner and the second tiebreaker will be the Class AA Consolation winner.

Here are the matchups:

Class A – Upper Bracket

So far 17 forum readers have posted their predictions, and it's probably not a surprise that Warroad and Minnetonka, the top seeded teams in their respective classes, are the near unanimous picks to win a State Championship. As of now Warroad is favored by 15 of 17 prognosticators and Tonka by 14 of 17, which are both unusually high percentages. If the consensus turns out to be accurate this makes it very likely that our contest will be decided by someone getting the most scores correct in the quarterfinals, along with picking all of the other winners in each class, leading up to the two championship games. And even then it could well come down to one or both of the tiebreakers. And of course for those who have not posted their predictions, this near-unanimous consensus so far presents a great opportunity to astutely pick an upset or two to separate oneself from the pack...

Also will use this as a reminder that predictions for at least Class A must be posted by tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11AM when the tournament gets underway.

Good luck to all of the girls and their coaches who are participating!
