There's a big "round-robin" tournament going on, which you may have read in some of my more obsessive blog posts. I speak, of course, of the MasterCard Memorial Cup competition for the Memorial Cup. This is the Canadian Hockey League's version of the Stanley Cup.
The first piece of the tournament is always a "round-robin" competition. I finally bothered to look up what that means. And it has nothing to do with a bird in this case!
(Straight from Wikipedia) "The term round-robin is derived from the term ruban, meaning "ribbon". Over a long period of time, the term was corrupted and idiomized to robin."
(Straight from Wikipedia) "In a single round-robin schedule, each participant plays every other participant once. If each participant plays all others twice, this is frequently called a double round-robin."
For the second time ever in Memorial Cup tournament history--and for the second year in a row--all four teams in the competition are, as of TODAY, 1-1.
Go Winterhawks!
