A Season of Mystery - Leg 7 - World Junior Championship Guess The Score Contest!

[RGM81]

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The World Junior Championships are here!

As part of our season-long Season of Mystery Contest, sponsored by Frameworth Sports, we are pleased to present Leg 7, the World Junior Championships Guess The Score Contest!

How It Works

Every game in the tournament, from the round robin to the gold medal game (see tournament schedule here) will have a thread posted in the WJC Tournament GTS Forum (coming soon). I will post these 1-2 days in advance to accommodate members as best as possible – with the tournament in Canada this year there are some early start times. The relegation round games will not be part of the contest.

Your role is to correctly predict the score of each game. Make sure that you get your selection posted early and before the puck drops on that chosen game—for the first time we will allow multiple guesses for any potential score during the round robin portion of the tournament. Once we get to the medal round, however, there can be only one winner per game.

If someone correctly guesses the score for both the winning and losing team (i.e. the exact final score) that person is the nightly winner. If nobody gets the final score correctly, we will use the following scale to determine who gets the point:

1. Correctly guess the score of winning team; closest score to losing team without going over
2. Correctly guess the score of winning team; closest score to losing team going over
3. Correctly guess the score of losing team; closest score to winning team without going over
4. Correctly guess the score of losing team; closest score to winning team going over

To illustrate how it works, let’s look at this scenario:

Player 1: Canada 4 – Finland 2
Player 2: Canada 1 – Finland 3
Player 3: Canada 3 – Finland 0
Player 4: Canada 2 – Finland 1
Player 5: Canada 3 – Finland 1
Final Score: Canada 5 - Finland 1

In this scenario, because nobody correctly guessed the score of the winning team we would go to option 3 – Player 5 correctly guessed that the losing team would score one goal and that the winner would score 3 goals. They narrowly beat out Player 4.

In a scenario where no players guess either the winning team's or the losing team's score, no points will be awarded for that game. Using the example above, if the final score of the game is Canada 7 - Finland 4, no points would be awarded as none of the players guessed either team's final score.

Multiple people can win for each game based on the scoring system if they share the same prediction--round robin only!

Each game's winner will receive 1 point in The Season of Mystery Contest. If you correctly guess the score, you will receive a bonus point for a max of 2 points per game. For the Bronze Medal Game a correct guess the score will receive 3 points total, and for the Gold Medal Game correctly guessing the score will see the winner receive 5 points.

Each game winner will receive 50CC. Card Cash can be used in a variety of ways, most notably for purchases from the Card Cash Store

The points they earned in the Guess The Score Contest will be applied to their score in the Season of Mystery Contest!
