IIHF World Championship 2005 pool thread

[slapshot™]

Here's the link to the -> Official IIHF website (http://www.ihwc.net/english/)

Group A: SLV, RUS, AUT, BLR

Group B: CZE, GER, SUI, KAZ

Group C: CAN, USA, LAT, SLO

Group D: SWE, FIN, UKR, DEN

The IIHF World Ranking (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/prechampion/) is a tool to reflect the long-term quality of the countries' national team program. The IIHF World Ranking (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/prechampion/) is based on awarding points for the final positions in the last four IIHF World Championships and in the last Olympic Ice Hockey Tournament. The 2003 IIHF World Ranking is thus based on the performance at the 2003, 2002, 2001 and the 2000 World Championship and at the 2002 Olympic Ice Hockey Tournament.


The team that wins the IIHF World Championship gold medal or the Olympic gold medal receives 1200 points. In general, there is a 20-point interval between two ranked positions (for example, 13th place receives 880 points and 14th place receives 860 points). As an exception to this principle there is a 40-point interval between gold and silver, silver and bronze, 4th and 5th position and between 8th and 9th position in the top division. The reason for the larger intervals for these positions is to give teams a bonus for reaching the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, the final and for winning the gold medal.


To enable the ranking to accurately reflect current form, the greatest importance is given to results of the last years' competition. To a lesser degree, attention is also paid to results from previous years. The system uses a four-year cycle as the points earned in one year decline in value by 25 percent each year over the next three years and in the fifth year results are dropped from the calculation altogether.

Example: Value of the gold medal
Year 1: 100% value -- 1200 points
Year 2: 75% value -- 900 points
Year 3: 50% value -- 600 points
Year 4: 25% value -- 300 points
Year 5: 0% value -- 0 points

The IIHF World Ranking (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/prechampion/) will be released following each IIHF World Championship and the Olympic Ice Hockey Tournament.

Before each World Championship, a pre-championship report will be released in which the values of the previous seasons are already reduced according to the above-described procedure and where only the points of the upcoming competition need to be added to get the IIHF World Ranking (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/prechampion/) for the year.

The IIHF World Ranking (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/prechampion/) will also be used to determine the seeding tiers for the draw for the four groups at the 2005 World Championship in Austria. Teams ranked 1-4 in the 2004 World Ranking will be in one bowl, teams ranked 5-8 in the next, teams ranked 9-12 in the third and teams ranked 13-16 in the last one. The draw will take place on May 12, 2004 in Innsbruck, Austria.

That said (copied'n'pasted!), are we ready to get our game faces on and start a pool? Are you ready, Ferret?

16 clubs and a total of 56 games according to the Tournament Format (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/mode/).

[Madferret]

Would you like me organize the pool Slappy? What kind of pool should we start up? Player or Country? I'm thinking Country might be a little easier to set up & run...

Would you like me organize the pool Slappy? What kind of pool should we start up? Player or Country? I'm thinking Country might be a little easier to set up & run...

I also think we should go with country...game by game. I haven't checked the format...but so many points for a win and so many for a tie and none for a loss - how does that sound?

I will find out the preliminary rounds and start setting up the old spreadsheet.

Ok, by country it is then. What do you think of this format? I used it in a Soccer pool and it just adds a little twist to picking the winners out-right..

To play our pool, all you need to do is assign each team a numeric value, 1-16 using each number once. You will be awarded the numeric value of each team as you have chosen per win, so if you think Canada is going to win the Cup, you would assign them 16. Likewise, if you think Latvia isn't going to win 1 game,you would assign them 1.

Too confusing?

[slapshot™]

Maybe no one is interested in a pool?

I would be interested and like the numeric value system.

[TimmyTabasco]

I'd be interested

[Madferret]

Ok so that's 4 so far, almost double the AHL pool....

I like those odds!

I'm always up for a pool, just let me know when I need to submit my picks.

[J.R.]

Will do, did you understand that format that I suggested?After assigning Chelsea a "one" in the Champions League pool, I don't know. :( Seriously though, I like the format. It's pretty simple (if I read the rules twice) and appears to be easy for the pool organized to add up. It's a good idea and I would like to participate as well.

We're at like 6 here, what you guys like making me work???

[Madferret]

Nice one Slappy..

[slapshot™]

Kinda, but if I see a few examples of people posting their picks, I should be able to get it or even maybe reading it over a few times :coffee:

Here's another example....

You assign each team a value. If you have selected Finland at 4 (being 4th from the bottom of the 16 teams) and Sweden 14 (3rd of 16) and Sweden wins then you get 14 points...but if Finland wins you only get 4 points. <- for that particular game.

[Mel]

I made my picks... am I supposed to post them or PM them to Ferret?

[Madferret]

Hold on to them Matty cause I know Slap has it up on Excel, we'll see what he says and where he wants them...

[slapshot™]

Hold on to them Matty cause I know Slap has it up on Excel, we'll see what he says and where he wants them...

It's been e-mailed to you for review. If the tourney starts on Sat. can we have weighted seeds and prelim selections by Thurs?

So far: Ferret, slappy, avs4life, Insider, Timmy, Matt, Czar-boy

Anyone else?

[Madferret]

The Excel sheet looks great guys. Having a number cruncher like Slap is a great advantage, he comes up with the unthinkeable %'s etc...

Nice one Slap

[slapshot™]

NOTICE:

Those of you that are interested in joining the pool pm me your e-mail address and I will send you out an Excel form to fill out. Then e-mail it back to me.

When the data is compiled I will forward it to Ferret who will post it on a website.

Deadline for submissions is Midnight Eastern time Thursday April 28th.

<EDIT>
So far the picks are in for Matt, Timmy and myself. Keep them coming people. For those that don't have Excel, just send an e-mail and we will copy them over.

[Madferret]

Little less than 2 days guys / gals, get yer @ss's in gear...

:wicked:

[Canucklehead]

I sent a pm to Slapshot but I guess he hasn't been on yet today. I hope he can e-mail me the excel forum before the deadline.

[Madferret]

I sent a pm to Slapshot but I guess he hasn't been on yet today. I hope he can e-mail me the excel forum before the deadline.

If you click on his name you should be able to send him an email that way...

[Canucklehead]

Can't e-mail him:

"Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrator and they may be able to help."

I'll just wait. He'll probaly show up and send me it.

[Madferret]

Ya Slap will be around worry not..

[The Insider]

I just sent mine in, can I get a confirmation that it was received?

[Madferret]

I just sent mine in, can I get a confirmation that it was received?

Slappy will be online tonight most likey, he's also behind us 2 hours, so he'll be around to confirm everyones entires tonight. Worry not my boys!

[slapshot™]

I've been busy at work and at home and haven't been on very much lately.

You can send your pool selections to: stopthebiscuit@hotmail.com

[slapshot™]

I just sent mine in, can I get a confirmation that it was received?

Yep! It's been received! Good luck!

[slapshot™]

Hey Ferret...what happens in the event of a tie? Do they get ties in the prelim round?

[Madferret]

Hey Ferret...what happens in the event of a tie? Do they get ties in the prelim round?

Oh ya...no points awarded in a tie, we only have to woory about ties in the RR anyhow...

[Mel]

Hey slapnuts, can we follow along with this somehow? or do you just keep track in the spread sheet and announce the winner at the end...

[Madferret]

Hey slapnuts, can we follow along with this somehow? or do you just keep track in the spread sheet and announce the winner at the end...

He's going to send me the spread I believe and I'm gonna try and toss up a quick webpage with our picks etc....

[Mel]

He's going to send me the spread I believe and I'm gonna try and toss up a quick webpage with our picks etc....


If it requires a separate web page outside the forums... I will host it. you can send it to me... or better yet slappy can send me the info, and I'll put it on a web page and host it. If I can be of any help, let me know.

Thanks, we might take you up on that offer, we both seem to have been busy as all sh!t this week...

[Canucklehead]

Slapshot, did you get my picks? Am I in the pool?

[J.R.]

If it requires a separate web page outside the forums... I will host it. you can send it to me... or better yet slappy can send me the info, and I'll put it on a web page and host it. If I can be of any help, let me know.Right now, I'm running an MLB Picks pool (which our Matt Cooke is kicking butt at right now) at another site and I am required to keep an updated standings page. I created the table using an HTML editor, then upload it to the administrators server using Core FTP Lite. It's simple now.

Here's the example (http://www.sportsforums.net/mlbpicks/).

[slapshot™]

Here are the totals after 2 days (8 games) of the prelim round:

Ferret - 92
slappy - 94
avs4life - 95
Timmy - 95
Insider - 93
JR - 93
Matt - 93
Canucklehead - 93

So far everyone has been batting 100% except for the Kazakhstan/Germany game where only I and a4l picked the winner.

When Ferret recoups from his weekend of birthday alcohol poisoning I'm sure he will have the spreadsheet posted.

[Madferret]

Hey all, sorry for the Hoodini. I was wisked away on a suprise trip Saturday night and just returned, I am starting the webpage ASAP...

[slapshot™]

I am starting the webpage ASAP...

Okely dokely......

[J.R.]

So now what about the qualification round?

[slapshot™]

So now what about the qualification round?

There hasn't been any results posted which really sucks. I'll update the scores tonight or tomorrow morning for the prelim round and make sure they get posted (either by Ferret or Matt).

I assume that the original picks will carry forth throughout the entire tourney, JR.

[Madferret]

Guys, I apologize deeply for my absense this week. It has been an unusually chaotic week at work, I did not forsee this happening or I wouldn't have taken on the pool. Once again, I apologize and thanks for being patience and not sending too many threatening emails to me....(aside from Slaps... :D)

That said, I do have to go in tommorow but as God is my witness I will be doing the whole update and page tommorow evening.

Cheers....le Ferret

[Madferret]

Slap if you could send me the latest point totals spreadsheet....

[a4l]

Me neither but somehow I am in the lead. :rollover:

[Madferret]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/ballykissangel/images/sceneclap.gif


Ok, first of all I completly dropped the ball on the original format. The way the RR and Qualification Rounds are played in this tournament really didn't make the format I set up feasible and it rightly turned into a nightmare. I apologize to all of you, and especially Slappy who's time I wasted the most as spreadsheet guy. Slap, berate me all you want on MSN tonight...

That said, now that the QF's are set and the filler teams are gone, we can still pull this off.

Firstly, here are the QF's:

May 12

Czech Republic vs. USA 10:15 AM East
Russia vs. Finland 2:15 PM East

Canada vs. Slovakia 10:15 AM East
Sweden vs. Switzerland 2:15 PM East

So we have 8 teams obviously. Using the same format, assign each team a numeric, and you will be given pts based on that team winning. So for instance, you believe Canada is going to win all 4 games and win the IIHF Cup, you assign the 8. If they lose to the Slovaks, you're pooched and will get points for whatever numeric value you assigned Slovakia. Keep in mind that the semi's will go High Seed / Low Seed in terms of winners of the QF's.

The site is roughly done, and tonight I will be tinkering with it again and adding the Playoff tree etc. I ask for all picks PM'd to me or Slap by 9:30 AM Thursday morning, and I will then make everyones picks available to see online here once the deadline pasts, and on the website in the evening when I return from work.

When making your picks and assigning each team their numeric value, keep in mind the parody of the teams, the results of the RR and that in this particular World Championship any Country could take the glory.

Good luck to all!
