WSC Prediction Thread Wk 10 - Playoffs Round 1

[RD_Watcher]

Here we are.... 6 West Suburban Conference teams continue their season this weekend - 2 from Gold, 4 from Silver; 5 in 8A, 1 in 7A.

If you need help with your predictions, I recommend looking at Edgy's analysis on the Edgy Nation board. Interestingly, there are 3 games Friday night, and 3 games Saturday afternoon. Current forecast for the West Suburbs is light to medium rain all day today and Friday, clearing Saturday morning.

As I stated at the end of Wk 9, we'll continue until all WSC team's close their season - either by loss, or bringing home the trophy. Good Luck!

I apologize for not getting these results up sooner, but here we are.

@Duhawk44 was the only participant to correctly pick all 6 Round 1 games last week.
There were 12 participants, with an average "correct pick" of 78%. The lowest correct pick game was Minooka over York, with only 2 Minooka picks for 17%.

Amongst the participants who missed no more than 3 weeks this season, there was some movement near the bottom and Duhawk improved his position, and some closing of the gaps at the top.

Running season standings are:
1 @Panthers1211 58-11
T2 @brucealmighy 57-12
T2 @RD_Watcher 57-12
T2 @Grepos 57-12
T2 @Dual-triple_threat 57-12
6 @Solid Snake Pliskin 52-17
7 @Cross Bones 50-12 (Missed Wk 1)
8 @USD24 50-13 (Missed Wk 10)
9 @Duhawk44 44-11 (Missed Wk 1 & 2)
10 @Little Kin 43-13 (Missed Wk 9 & 10)
11 @WBWarriorWatcher 43-13 (Missed Wk 1 & 3)
12 @chuck998 38-10 (Missed Wk 1, 2 & 3)

@stl705 rejoined us, not participating since Wk 1. His 2 week score is 10-3
