Scoring & Tiebreaks
The winner will be determined by total # of correct series winners predicted. The best possible score is 15.
In the event of any ties, we will sum the errors for predicted wins for each of the 16 teams in the FIRST ROUND only.
The lower the error score, the better. For example, if you had SA over SAC 4-2, LA over PHO 4-2, DAL over MEM 4-3, and LAC over DEN 4-1.
Suppose SA beat SAC 4-1, LA beat PHO 4-0, MEM beat DAL 4-1 and LAC beat DEN 4-3.
Team: |Predict - Actual| => Error
SA: 4 - 4 => 0
SAC: 1 - 2 => 1
LA: 4 - 4 => 0
PHO: 2 - 0 => 2
DAL: 4 - 1 => 3
MEM: 4 - 3 => 1
LAC: 4 - 4 => 0
DEN: 3 - 1 => 2
Total Error: 9 Prizes
