I thought how many games you predicted the series would be counted too?

As a tie breaker.

That would a lot of work.

I can live with totals couting for the Finals only?

Scoring is as such.

There are 15 possible correct answers for series winners.

8 in Round 1
4 in Round 2
2 in Round 3
1 in Round 4

Yes, it is attrition, but with 40+ entrants, there has to be a way to narrow the field. Even if we were using series differential, the folks losing teams in the first round would be eliminated (albeit a little slower in some cases and faster in others).

In the event of a tie (which seems likely there will be several), we'll use the net first round outcome differential as a tie break.

Prizes are starting to roll in. Sometime this week I will get the prize allocations together.

Remember, we are splitting the prizes up to award more than one individual and the final allocation has not been set. Just because you may be out of the grand champion running doesn't mean that there is no chance of reward. This is NOT an all or nothing proposition.

WOO HOO!! I LOVE PRIZES!!

There is no way anyone predicted this(7 games) so I think even if we win the series , we are all losers!! ...jus kdn!

Round 2 is over and with 3 very close series. The Dallas v SA matchup was certainly a very hard fought series going into OT where dallas prevailed. So here are the updated standings. Please note that the number next to your name is the number of series you correctly predicted in round 2. Good Luck to everyone and especially the Pistons.

What were those prizes again?????

There haven't been too many upsets in the playoffs, but to pick all 12 series correctly is still a great feat. Congrats to Dlev59 and MotownPride. Good work!

Thanks to majestik and Bill for doing the pool and Micro, of course. Did I leave anyone out? Now if I were only doing better.
