Let's do this one again!
===================
RULES
===================
- Each round you must pick: The Series Winner - for each series / the number of games the series will go - for each series / the Stanley cup winner
- 1 GAME entry (ie. posts) per round (So remember to put all series in that post)
- We are going by honor code here, please no going back and "correcting" your posts.
(If you know someone cheats - go ahead and pm me, I will disqualify them.)
- Cut off for entry is when each series starts (i.e. drop of puck).
>> Once a series has started i.e. the puck has dropped (like the 4:30 east coast games), that series is "eliminated" from your ability to pick them and I will not count that pick (regardless if you picked the GAME or not).
>> No more entries will be honored once all series in that round have started
>> Note: If you got the winner wrong, but the guessed the length of the series, you will still get the points for the length of the series.
- Guess for Stanley cup winners will only be scored once. Higher points will be awarded for guessing it in an earlier series
Change from the previous year: You can change your SC winner selection in each round.
However it will override your previous selection!
- In Round 2 ONLY - Entrance are allowed to pick 1 Conn Smythe winner from the East & 1 from the west (2 total) - A correct prediction will be worth 15 points!
>> Format MUST be First name Last name OR First initial Last name, for Sebastian Aho you will need to specify the explicit team.
>> You MUST spell the name correctly, I will be using Excel's "Match" function so it won't recognize "J. Thorton"
>> Conn Smythe Entries must accompany your picks and be submitted before CS candidate's team's 2nd round series have started because schedule sometimes mixes the things up.
>> If you pick two guys from the same conference I will take your first choice.
===================
SCORING:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round 1 (Conference Quarter) -- 8 Series (48pts max + 20 bonus):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PO's start Soon! Get your PO hats ready and let's have a great game! Dougie GO HOME!
================================

++++++++++++++++
East
Lightning 4
Hurricanes 5
Capitals 6
Flyers 7
West
Knights 4
Coyotes 5
Flames 6

Covid Cup Winner: Las Vegas Conn Smythe: Mark Stone Vegas Nellie?! How could you? well 2020 is evolving into a 'rip the bandaid OFF' kind of year... so let's get this fkn 4 solid playoff line roster depth out of the way already. chances are Fleury will heat up as they go deeper. ..and since it's surreal 2020, I hope DeBoer blows Douggie a kiss as he hoists Lord Stanley in the month of October... yea Rip that bandaid OFF this year, baby! OUCH! hopefully Bettman & Co. now realize the need to dial down the expansion draft rules on Seattle. Owner Bill foley wrote Bettman a $500 million check, but that sure bought a monster roster and a stockpile of draft picks. 51 wins and 109 pts in their inagural season. throttle back the roster rules on GM Ron Francis & the Kraken, man!! |
