As you might have heard, the major pro sports leagues (and the NHL) are about to try and restart their season. To me, and many others, this seems like a profoundly bad idea. And, since one bad idea deserves another, I have decided to host a small competition. The rules of the game are simple. Just answer the following simple questions about how long each league — MLB, NHL, NBA — will last. At the end of each season, whenever that should be, we will determine the winners and figure out whatever we're doing for prizes. (1) How many days will each league last, from opening day? If you think the championship will be awarded, just answer "complete." If you think the season will get canceled before opening day, feel free to answer with a negative. For seasons that do start but do not finish, we'll compare them by % of scheduled games played before the shutdown. MLB: NHL: NBA: NFL: (2) First tiebreaker. How many players from each sport will end up contracting SARS-CoV-2? MLB: NHL: NBA: NFL: Also feel free to use this thread for sidebets and stuff. Go nuts. e: Hand Knit posted:I feel like I maybe should've added a counter for voluntary opt outs. Feel free to add those numbers too, if you feel like it.

verbal enema posted:1.) If you think a league will be canceled before beginning, you can put down how many days before opening day it will be canceled.

Katana_Warrior posted:Is #2 asking how many players will catch it in total, or just while in the bubble? Let's go with diagnosed by league testing, since there's no way to confirm whether anyone actually caught it in the bubble.

Congratulations to the NHL for reaching the end of the season. Cases during the bubble: officially 0 Cases in phase 2 (league testing before training camp): Officially 43, I think

Both the NBA and MLB completed their seasons. I believe the NBA registered no official positive tests. The MLB, of course, we obviously have to wait on for a few more days.

I guess it's time to determine a winner. Is there a good page for tracking NFL covid cases. Also congratulations to the leagues on their relentless death march.

Contestants who predicted the total death march: Spring Break My Heart The Yellow Dart Think Tank Ice Phoenix zodiacjlyte Darude-Adam Sandstorm Duckman2008 Roth Of the contestants, Spring Break My Heart predicted 925 total cases, meaning that they win on tie breaks. Congratulations on your cynicism.
