********************

Updated main post on final red X's for round 1.

I'm going to have some time mid week to do some scores, but thinking it over, it would save me a lot of time if everyone can do the following:

-go to your round 1 prediction post
-edit and input your score


that'll allow me to just have to compile the list of rankings. So if everyone can do that, that would be appreciated. Albino Squirrel, you are responsible for your score and the score of your 4 year old.

Reminder of scoring rules:

So, here is the point system we're going to use to rate your ability to pick a winner.

If you pick the winning team of a series, you get two points.
If you pick the correct number of games, you get three additional points
If your amount of games is off by one, you get two bonus points.
If you are off by two in games needed, you get one bonus point.
If you are off by three, you get nothing.
If you pick the wrong winner, you lose a point.

The amount of points will double each round, so the max points per series in the first round is 5 (2 + 3), and the max for the cup is 40 (16 + 24).

Correction: While it would be a better choice given the first game, I predicted SJ in 7, not Vegas.

Did you post a different one before? I’ll add you on if not. Scouts honor and all that of course.

Sorry for lack of updates, work and life got a bit busy. Worst case is I’m off Friday and can get probably most to all of this updated.

Got VGK correct and off by one for the Bolts. I gave the Bruins too much credit.

Does the minus point for wrong winner also double to -2 past round and so on?
