I woke up this morning too early. I was thinking, as The Smiths played in my mind, “why am I running a sports pool that there is a 50-50 chance I won’t see out, won’t tally up the points, have lost interest in?” Is it because I have not watched one NHL game this whole season? Maybe it’s because it is so virtually assured that the Morton will be promoted that I can’t use that as a question…unless:
6. Morton needs just one win to automatically move up next season to the SFA First Division. When will Morton secure promotion?
- a. 14 April against Raith?
- b. 21 April against Stranraer?
- c. 28 April against Ayr?
- d. Morton will choke but be promoted through the playoff.
- e. Morton will not be promoted.
Twenty five points for the right answer.
7. NHL playoffs:
- a. Which eight teams advance to the second round? Five points each correct.
- b. Which four teams advance to the semi-finals? Ten points each correct.
- c. Which two teams are in the finals? Fifteen points each correct.
- d. Which team wins the Stanley Cup? Twenty-five points each correct.
- e. Pick a goon. Two points for every penalty minute.
- f. Pick a goalie. One point for every thousandth their save average is above .850. Goalie must play three complete games.
- g. Pick five scorers. One point for every goal and one for every assist.
Like when the heck am I ever going to have the time to ever figure out all the scores for that many questions? Sure I can post all these questions but it is actually tallying up that takes the time. And it will be spring. And warm. And there will be gardening to do and stuff. Good luck to you.
