No, but I thought I would give it a try. If it's awful (read: unwatchable), I'll work with the company to get my money back. And there's always Tim Hennessy on the radio as a fallback plan! Dave

Here's something regarding the atmosphere at the Ralph that hasn't been mentioned in this thread: The fans of the University of North Dakota men's hockey team have an identity crisis. Some fans will only participate in chants and cheers that have the word "Sioux" in them (Sioux Yeah Yeah, Fight On Sioux, Let's Go Sioux, Sioux Forever, etc.) and boo every "Fighting Hawks" usage they can. Some fans are trying to move on from "Fighting Sioux", but there are no "Hawks" or "Fighting Hawks" chants or cheers for them to participate in. We are all trying to exist in the same space and cheer for the same team, but we're definitely not all moving in the same direction or working together all of the time. Discuss. Dave

Jim can certainly shed more light on this, but this is how he explains his methodology on the website: Each forecast is based on at least one million monte carlo simulations of the games in the described period. For each simulation, the PairWise Ranking (PWR) is calculated and the results tallied. The probabilities presented in the forecasts are the share of simulations in which a particular outcome occurred. The outcome of each game in each simulation is determined by random draw, with the probability of victory for each team set by their relative KRACH ratings. So, if the simulation set included a contest between team A with KRACH 300 and team B with KRACH 100, team A will win the game in very close to 75% of the simulations. I don’t simulate ties or home ice advantage. I'm assuming that CHN runs their simulations as a "coin flip" (i.e. the two teams in question have an equal chance of winning the game), but I haven't done any digging into that. Dave
