Rules are as follows:
Simply predict the winners for each playoff round. Your picks (for all rounds) must be in by the deadline posted in the Pool Notice.
An upset in this pool format is defined as a lower seeded team winning against a higher seeded one. This pool has been setup to award more points by correctly picking upsets.
You will be awarded the following points per round for each correct prediction:
*Conference Quarter Finals = 2 points + 1 points per upset
*Conference Semi-Finals = 3 points + 2 points per upset
*Conference Championship = 4 points + 3 points per upset
*Stanley Cup Finals = 5 points + 4 points per upset
The winner(s) will be determined by the participant(s) with the highest total score(s) at the end of the playoff. In the event of a tie, the Tie-Breaker will come into play. The Tie-Breaker will be settled by the participant who comes closest to predicting the final game's total score (over or under).
1. There is no fee to signup!
2. The cutoff date is 12:00PM ET Friday, May 3rd. Brackets will not be accepted after that.
3. One bracket per person, if you have two or more LJ usernames.. play fair, man. Use one name.
4. The brackets are not private so everyone can see your picks if they like, yes, but you cannot change your picks once they are set. You are free to discuss and share picks with each other but you must make your own bracket per person, no combining with other people.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or any of the mods. Happy Picking, Pucking!
