Each player will pick the team who they think will win the game plus pick by how many points (for use in tiebreakers) At the end of the First Round, the player with more correct picks will win and eliminate the other player and move on to the second round.

For example:
1 (Cloud786) vs
8 (Panno)

Cloud786 total correct picks in the first round: 16
Panno total correct picks in the first round: 14

Cloud786 wins and will face the winner of the 3 vs 6 seed.
(just an example Panno . Think nothing of it )

Just a thing about playoffs... As some of us from last year's edition of the game will remember, we had a system in case of the same record. Beside the picks, we also posted a point difference (for example: Spurs - Lakers; Spurs by 10) so in case of the same record, person with smallest cumulative difference was the winner.

I think for this year the same or similar thing should be established in advance so that there would be no misunderstandings.

So do we pick all playoff games or just the games in whichever conference we are in?

[magliop]

All games.

[spurs000001]

you pick all games. If you have any specific questions, pm me.

it's just like regular season except your picking against another seed. Then you go on to the quarter finals, then semi finals, then finals. just like a team in the nba. It all sounds complicated, but it's really not. There will be a thread for each playoff day, and in that thread, you and your opponent will post who you think will win and by how many. If you cannot pick but can send your picks in advance for say a weekend or so, that's fine. pm me and pjm a copy of them.
