Didn't get any entries for the pick em'... so no worries on the standings for those people who didn't get picks in. The bracket will be ready to go when the Central Florida vs. Colorado State and Towson vs. UC Santa Barbara games finish up.

The bracket is ready for predicting. Good Luck!

Congratulations to kevinsmithAZ with his 71 point finish. He is the champion of the 2009 NCRHA Challenge!

Please post any comments on how the challenge was handled. I know there were some issues and bugs that need to be worked out.

Thank you, thank you.

There will be a 2009 AIHL Playoff Challenge. It will start when all playoff match ups are decided. It will be a much easier scoring and entering format because of the elimination of pool play.
