It's playoff time! This year's game will be similar to last year's.. Here is how post season pick'em will work:
-Make your picks for the entire weekend before the first puck drop (This is important especially for the championship weekend - we will pick the champion before the two semifinal games)
-Correctly picking the higher seed to win each game is worth 1 point. Correctly picking the lower seed to win each game is 2 points. (This was a recommendation a few years ago to try to encourage picking the "underdog").
-1 bonus point awarded for correctly picking the winner of each first round series (assumed to be the team you have winning at least 2 games), 2 points in the quarterfinals, 3 in the semis, and 4 for the champion. This is independent of the number of games for the 3 game series.
-1 point will be awarded for "backwards splits" - if you pick team A to win Friday and team B to win Saturday, but the opposite happens, you get 1 point. (only in first round and quarterfinals)
-For the 3 game series, you will pick your predicted winner of each game. If you do not think a game 3 will be played, list N/A. You can pick the same winner for all 3 games if you want (if you don't want to pick a 2 game sweep, but can't decide which game will be lost).
-Remember - there are no ties in the post season!
These 'rules' may be confusing - don't hesitate to ask if you don't understand.
We will go back to posting picks in the thread. It may be easier for post season.
