NHL playoff pool?

why not just run 1 point/game for the final series?

because that makes the last series worth a lot more than the previous ones. Plus having everyone to submit a pick before the game will be a nightmare

people just submit a series

game 1: pittsburgh
game 2: pittsburgh
game 3: detroit
etc.

the final round should be worth more than the other ones, its a closer match-up. the first round was worth 8 points and contained the easiest picks, but that means theres only 7 points total left in the other rounds.

i think if youre such a noob that you have to pick diff. teams to win because your pre-semi's guessing skills were whack then you have to suck it up and gambool.

that way seems more fun anyways.

Fraser picks Pittsburgh in 6 despite picking Detroit to win for his point
I don't get this part.. Also, in this scenario if detroit wins then arent me and insideout tied unless he gets the games right?

yah you're right, I fucked up in typing/thinking last night. I was going for something like InSideOut & KK picks Detroit while you and wheels pick Pittsburgh to win. I'll go fix the scenario.

Need picks from InSideOut, fraser, KrappyKonnect from group 1 and Nolan, nightfront from group 2
For those of you who are mathematically eliminated, thanks for participating.

Group 1 finalists, please PM picks to me before puck drop.
Group 2 finalists, if you dont feel comfortable PMing your pick to me since I'm still alive, feel free to post your pick in an old hand history (for the time stamp) and post the link after puck drop.

Picks:
InSideOut -
fraser -
KrappyKonnect -

gawdawaful - Pittsburgh
nolan - Pittsburgh
nightfront - Detroit

There will be no tie breaker employed.

So in order to have any potential to win money i have to pick against gawdawaful and somehow hope that nolan also picks pittsburgh to guarantee chop instead of gamb00ling it for first.
AND THEN the red wings still have to win

Detroit.

pittsburgh will win vs. detroit.

so gawd, do we just pick in how many games they win or what.

so hows the tie break going to work?

I'm game if you are Nolan
InSideOut, I wasnt planning on doing it since theres been too little feedback, but you guys can sort it out amongst yourselves

so tiebreak is on for group 2? Also are you guys clear on how I proposed it earlier? You're not restricted to picking the team you chose to win for your point.

ie. If Detroit wins, we have a 3 way tie and we go to tie break to decide who wins. If Pitts wins, tiebreak is between Nolan & I

Assuming night_front picks Detroit in 5 as his tie break, gawdawaful picks Detroit in 6 as tie break, Nolan picks Pittsburgh in 6 as tiebreak, then...

If Pittsburgh wins series, Nolan scoops ze monies via winning tiebreak (only gawdawaful & nolan's tiebreaks are in play, nightfront loses in points)
If Detroit wins series in 4 or 5, night_front wins 3way tiebreak
If Detroit wins series in 6 or 7, gawdawaful wins 3way tiebreak

sooo is this happening for both groups?
