I think Yardy was copying me!

[hydro]

Only three people picked Philly. Lecter and I went with Calgary

[RockStar36]

I still don't know how I'm gonna figure out a tie-breaker if it comes down to it in the Finals.

If it gets close at the end. Have everyone submit what they think the score of the series winning game is or something.

[RockStar36]

Well my San Jose pick is blown so far with the amount of games.

[BlackMetalNinja]

As far as tie breakers... I think last year in the 2nd, actually probably the 3rd round, whoever was running it changed up the scoring. They did points for getting the winner right and then points for getting the # of games right, except you also lost a point for every game you were off by.

Say if you picked San Jose in 7 and the won in 5, you'd lose 2 points for those games or what not. It should break people up a little more, but I'd wait till the 3rd round otherwise people could end up in the negative or something crazy.

[RockStar36]

Yeah, I'm just going to wait. I'm hoping it doesn't even come down to that. The odds are pretty slim from what I've seen.

I'm going to be impressed if people start getting the # games right. I'm already out on a few I think.

Tie Breaker:

Following the completion of the conference finals, if there are two or more participants still in the running for the top spot a tie-breaker will be in effect.

When the participants submit their Stanley Cup champions picks they will also have to submit two totals. The first is the total number of goals scored in the series by the cup winning team. The second is the total number of goals scored in the series by the cup losing team.

Once the Stanley Cup has been decided, if two or more participants are tied in the standings it will come down to the tie-breaker. First will be the total for the Cup winning team. For example, if two Zoners are tied in the standings and one submitted 15 goals for the winning team and the other submitted 13 and the actual total was 16, the person who guessed 15 would win the tie-breaker and win the final prize. If the real total was 16 and one guessed 15 and the other 17, they would both be one goal off and it would move on to the second tie-breaker. If the Zoners are still tied after the second tie-breaker it will be called a draw and both will win the final prize.

[hydro]

10 points for me!

[RockStar36]

Everygone got the 5. Hydro, Lecter, and S11 got the extra 5.

[RockStar36]

If Montreal wins game 6 hydro gets another 10 points

[RockStar36]

Ugh, I just looked at the bracket and if Philly wins they will most likely play Pittsburgh. I don't know what is up with teams I hate playing each other but I've already had enough of these closet Penguin fans coming out of the woodwork around here. I swear this city had barely any the last two years.

If Montreal wins game 6 hydro gets another 10 points

*crosses fingers*

I looked and I currently have been elminated from being able to win three of the series.

[RockStar36]

You can still win the team, just not the games.

[hydro]

You can still win the team, just not the games.

Oh yeah I forgot

[Mitchy moo]

Boston / Montreal going to a 7th game, go figure.

[hydro]

Down with Boston!

[BlackMetalNinja]

Must be Bedard brought them some good luck.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Well I've got 20 points so far and the potential to get every first round winner right still
