NHL Playoff Contest Idea

Hey guys,

I got an idea.... actually, its stolen from another forum but I think it would be a lot of fun on GFF as well. There seems to be a lot of people who enjoy the NHL on here, so I was thinking of organizing a NHL Playoffs contest.

SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED


Anyway, I thought this would be something fun to do since many people missed out on the Hockey Fantasy League. This contest is fairly simple to play.

When the playoffs start, there are 16 teams. You are to pick who will win the series, and the games it took to win. For example, if Ottawa was playing Toronto, you would bet that Ottawa would win in 6 games (4-2). If you guess the correct team, you will receive 2 points and if you get the correct amount of games, you get 1 point.

You pick the winner of each match up, so a total of 8 matchups for round one, and so on.

For the finals, you will do the same as the last rounds, but guess how many goals will be scored during the entire series. That will be the tie breaker.

If you are interested, please reply in this thread. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, let me know.

When the round is done, I will post the matchups for your information.

PM all picks to me, do NOT post them in the thread.

If you have any questions, let me know ASAP.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sounds simple enough. You probably could've held out until next month to start this. Either way, I'm in.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, well, I thought I would mention it now... since I remembered it. Knowing me, I forget things later, especially when I get busy. At least people can take a look at the standings at this point.

Well, if the playoffs started now, the Penguins and Canadiens match would be an interesting one. But the Penguins are streaking and will (hopefully) end up in the 2-4 seed range.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh I'm down for this. Sounds like a good time.

And since we're on the topic of hockey, go Lightning. Get into the playoffs so you can blow it.

Oh, thank god for your idea.

I really thought I'd have nothing to do after the Canucks get their asses spanked by the Ducks in the first round.

I'm in.

Ok, since the playoffs are about a month away, I will put together a list of the people who want to be in the contest.

Please see my first post as it will be consistently updated as people join in.

The last day to join in on the NHL Playoff Contest is Sat Apr 7, 2007 by 11:59pm CST (12:59 EST)

Please PM me your picks between Sunday after the season is over, to the day of the first round of games for the playoffs.

I will have specific times and dates as we get closer to the end of the season.

I will post at the beginning of the thread the match ups of the teams playing against each other when they become available.

I hope more people will join over the next three or so weeks.

I'll do it. Just one question though - do we make our picks one round at a time (I'm assuming so)?

Yes. So, when the round is over and the next matchups are made, then you make your picks.

BTW, I'm starting on my 2006-07 Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket project. It's actually a very simple project, but one that I hope everyone (and, hint hint, especially gamers) will be able to appreciate.

Ok, well, there are about 8 hours left until sign ups close and about 24 hours for the remaining people that have not sent in their picks. Anyone who has sent them in already has not received a warning that they need to be in, so if you had, you should be set to go.

I will start a discussion thread when picks are closed.

Vivi, I sent you my picks and then one day later (today) got a PM asking for my picks.

Do I need to re-send them?
