Beeeej Plus, I'm not sure they would've lost money if they'd gone to online-only instruction, so "cash flow" seems misplaced to me. You think they would've refunded anyone's tuition or a portion thereof?

Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
osorojo I can't wait for the new, three-man college basketball season to reopen. Wait! is 3-on-3 college basketball only in case of ties after regulation play expires? Anyway, expectations are that swarms of new spectators who never cared for 5-on-5 basketball will flock to games due to the possibility they could watch some 3-on-3.

Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
jkahn For purposes of the Pairwise, i.e. the criteria that selects the NCAA Tournament field, these overtime games will count as 55 percent of a win. So for us purists/ math geeks, etc. at least they have very much minimized the value of the 3 vs. 3 and shootout, since a tie is 50% of a win and they've only added an extra 5% at stake for the gimmicky conclusion. It's basically the equivalent ofby jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
Trotsky We just had 7-inning double header games in the majors. This is the darkest timeline. I don't mind 7-inning games, since they were standard in the adult amateur leagues I watched in my adolescence. I always had the feeling that a 9-inning game dragged on, but maybe that was my teenage attention span. Much weirder were the 7+9 inning double headers they had in college summer ball in Cby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
Beeeej abmarks It's official; 3 on 3 and shootouts. Spinorama is verboten though. The one change I do like though is the ability to pick which face off dot you want to take the draw in after the other team ices it. Ugh... 3-on-3 to decide a game is moronic. Ugh indeed. The article was a little unclear about some of the details; it sounds like shootouts will be up to the leagues,by jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: Article choosing among candidates for the Richter Award - 4 years ago
Trotsky Cornell goalies have been rolling up fantastic numbers for 20 years. It makes sense to me that the only way a Big Red goalie is going to win the Richter is if he has an otherworldly season around 1.20 / .940, like LeNeveu in 2003. I'm still mad at the Cantabs for letting Jimmy Howard break that record one year later.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: Funny opposing fans at games - 4 years ago
Back in the early aughts, Harvard had a goalie called Dov Grumet-Morris (we usually just called him "hyphen". At the Lynah East game he had a bunch of enthusiastic Cantab groupies who made signs, the most memorable of which read "DO ME DOV". We were so amused by it that when we played them at Lake Placid in 2002, we (a couple of eLFers actually IIRC) made our own "DO MEby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Summary of ratings including KRACH. (Normally in a simulation you don't want to re-calculate the team strengths including partial simulated results, but since the simulation didn't include uncertainty about the strengths, re-calculating introduces some of that, since teams which were stronger than their estimates would have been more likely to win last weekend.)
