CrypticVillain Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Welcome to another year of playoff picking! Same scoring as last year, and if you don't recall how it worked, then here ya go: You get 2 points for each team you correctly pick to win their first round series. You get 4 points for each team you pick to reach the conference finals. 6 points for an NBA finalist. And 8 points for correctly picking the champ. You will also pick the number of games for every series. In the first round, you will get 1 bonus point if you also guess the exact number of games with the winning team. In the 2nd round, the bonus will increase to 2 points, but it's more complicated because you have to have had both teams correct. For example, you can't get bonus points if you predict Spurs over Grizzlies in 6 in the 2nd round if it is actually Spurs over Clippers in 6. The pattern continues as you get 3 bonus points in the conference finals and 4 in the finals. If you have any questions regarding the scoring, don't hesitate to ask. 2013 Thread Here Jaybrant was last year's champ! So ironic that we almost had Spurs/Grizzlies in the first round for three straight years. Here is my bracket for an example of how the picks should be made: (EXAMPLE )First Round: Pacers over Hawks in 4 Wizards over Bulls in 6 Nets over Raptors in 6 Heat over Bobcats in 5 Spurs over Mavericks in 6 Rockets over Blazers in 5 Clippers over Warriors in 4 Thunder over Grizzlies in 5 Semi-Conference Finals: Pacers over Wizards in 6 Heat over Nets in 7 Spurs over Rockets in 7 Clippers over Thunder in 7 Conference Finals: Heat over Pacers in 5 Spurs over Clippers in 6 Finals: Spurs over Heat in 6 (EXAMPLE) Deadline to make your picks is Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 12:29pm Honestly, I feel like I should be giving away a prize or something, but I wouldn't know what to give.

Bubble Screen Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 ^^ lol Just realized I went straight chalk until the Conference Finals. Screw it! I did have a real hard time with Raptors over Nets and Thunder over Clippers though. Even if I changed just one of those it could alter my picks dramatically. Can we change picks up until deadline?
