GOLFHOS NHL PLAYOFFS BRACKET CONTEST
« on: April 10, 2007, 10:44:45 AM » |
|
so attached is a template bracket (as I couldn't find a bracket contest online)... since we only have maybe 10 people interested, I don't think it will be too hard to keep track of on here.
Instructions
For each series, 'pencil in' the winning team, # of total games, and # of total goals scored for the winning team (the 2nd two criteria to be used to help break any possible ties)
DON'T publicly post your picks ! -- I will post a big list after everyone submits them. That way nobody is influenced by seeing other peoples choices.
please PM me your 'data' . in a format resembling the following...
example to follow below
Round 1: Buffalo over Islanders, 5 games, 23 goals.
Round 1: ...
...
...
Round 2:
...
Round 3:...
...
Finals: ... San Jose over New York Rangers, 7 games, 18 goals.
Scoring
Round 1- winning team, 2 point. # of games in series, 1 point bonus
Round 2- winning team, 5 points. # of games in series, 2 point bonus
Round 3- winning team, 8 points. # of games in series, 3 points bonus
Finals- winning team, 16 points. # of games in series, 5 points bonus
Maximum possible score therefore: (16,8)+(20,8)+(16,6)+(16,5)=95
Prediction of goals per victor per series will be used in the event of a total points tie with* the same champion team. In the event of a total points tie with differing champion teams, the person predicting the victorious Stanley Cup Champion will win without any other tie-breakers.
For the less initiated, the NHL playoffs follow the following series formats:
Each series is a best of 7. The higher seed has home ice advantage(4-3), and the game schedule goes H,H,L,L,H,L,H in terms of home ice for High seed (H) , Low seed (L).
After the 1st round, In the second round, or Conference Semifinals, the NHL re-seeds with the top remaining conference seed playing against the lowest remaining seed, and the other two remaining conference teams pairing off.
* Therefore, pick your 2nd round matchups carefully and accordingly.
Entries must be in by 3PM , EST, Wednesday, April 11, 2007.
Quasi-meager Prizes still not determined, but will be provided for 1st and 2nd place.
Yada Yada Yada
