Ok guys, the playoff brackets should be set after tonight. Unfortunately a lot of crappy teams are taking their sweet time seeding themselves.

I'll update tomorrow (hopeful that brackets are ready) on what you need to do to compete. So keep an eye on this thread, and remember, your picks will have to be in before Saturday at noon.

Btw, I'm more than willing to ship prizes internationally, so members abroad should feel free to participate.

I would like to play...

I'll join the fun. I can't be possibly be any worse at this than I am at NCAA bracket challenges, which I stopped playing several years ago because I always did so badly.

You're all in, including anyone else who submits a bracket (once their finalized) before Saturday noon.

It's a great exercise to get 20 or 30 people participating together.

Roscoe, are we also going to be picking how long we think each series will go? Like "Spurs over Mavs in the 2nd round in 7 games" or whatever. I'm guessing that would probably provide enough separation between different brackets for any tiebreaks that might be necessary.

Yep. BillLaimbeer has devised an intricate system for tiebreaks based upon series length, lunar calendar and the average air speed of an unladen swallow.

Needless to say, accurately predicting each series length will yield a better standing.

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

I knew those ornithology classes would come in handy.

Yes I will play.

Why not, I'll give it a try!
