Playoff Prediction contest

[Dr. Lecter]

I am going to keep this simple.

The rules are as follows:

1. Predict the winner of each series. This is worth 1 point.

2. If you get the winner correct, you are eligible for a bonus point. You earn this point by predicting how many games the series goes. You do not get a bonus if you get the number of games correct but do not get the winner right. So, if the Sabres beat the Flyers in 4, Op does not get a point even though he picked the Flyers in 4.

3. This will be done round by round. The second round is also worth one point for the winner and one bonus point. The third round is 2 points and one bonus point. The SCF is worth 3 points and 2 bonus points.

4. PM me your picks by noon on Wednesday.

5. First place is 50,000 Zbs. 2nd place is 20,000 ZoneBux

The series are as follows:

East:

1. Washington Capitals vs. 8. New York Rangers
2. Philadelphia Flyers vs. 7. Buffalo Sabres
3. Boston Bruins vs. 6. Montreal Canadiens
4. Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 5. Tampa Bay Lightning


West:

1. Vancouver Canucks vs. 8. Chicago Blackhawks
2. San Jose Sharks vs. 7. Los Angeles Kings
3. Detroit Red Wings vs. 6. Phoenix Coyotes
4. Anaheim Ducks vs. Nashville Predators


I will PM my picks to somebody. (after I get their picks)

One PM per person - that is you can't change you picks once submitted.

I will post all the picks Wednesday after I have them all.
Any questions can be posted here.

[Dr. Lecter]

Bump!!

Only two entries so far!

[SabreEleven]

ESPN has contest like this but much more fancy.

[Dr. Lecter]

You are not supposed to catch us.

Duh.

[YardRat]

I should've went with Boston, but that would be like rooting for the Dolphins. I'd rather lose than sink that low.

[chernobylwraiths]

I went with 5 games because I thought everyone would go with 6. At least I guessed right on that part.
