I think this is right:
Round 1: 20 points (3 perfect, 2 off by 1 game, 3 wrong)

Round 2: 24 points (1 perfect, 2 off by 1 game, 1 wrong)

Total: 44 points going into round 3

We double loser points as well right? So bad picks this round were -2?

edit: wait do we get points for # of games even in series where we got the wrong winner?

It feels extremely weird to predict against God's chosen team but here we are...

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
So, since I wasn't sure if I get points for having the correct amount of games but wrong winner, I did totals for both

1st round: Either 20 or 14
2nd round: Either 9 or 3

As you can see, I am a bad predictor this year.

Jets in 5: The Knights have had an easier road to the CF than other teams. The Jets are an elite team. This SHOULD be pretty easy, but I have learned to never discount the Knights.
Caps in 7: I want to go TB, but I really want to see Ovechkin win the Cup.

"If you pick the wrong winner, you lose a point."




Edit:
EDIT: FIRST ROUND SCORE: 28

EDIT: SECOND ROUND SCORE: 2

So, assuming that you get -2 points in this round for wrong winner, and assuming that a wrong winner is just minus points no matter the games, (and I hope people have calculated their points in the first round the same way), second round was 8 points for the winnipeg series and -2 for the three others.
For a total of 2

As with others I wasn't sure how the the games points were tallied if you chose the wrong winner so I did 2 tallies

Round 1: 26 or 19
I picked Avs in 6, Ducks in 6, and CBJ in 6

Round 2: 34

That's not too bad for my first crack at this, I gotta say

SHAMEFUR DISPRAY

Sorry for the delay on this , I missed the questions on scoring.

Having added things up now, the straight forward answer is that what you just said is correct. Basically.

2 points for picking the right team
1-3 points depending on how close you are to games. 0 points if say, you picked a team in 4, and they win in 7
Negative 1 point for picking the wrong team

All 3 types doubled for round two. So -2 for picking the wrong team.

For round 3 is double off of round 2, so -4 for wrong team.
