Here are the rules of our Playoff Pool:
Here's a plan for how we choose the winner: everyone gets a point for picking a winner in the first round, two points for the second round, three points for the third round, and four points for correctly choosing the Stanley Cup winner. So perfect picks give you 8 points in round 1, 8 points in the quarter-finals, 6 points in the semi-finals, and 4 points in the finals = 26 points.So here are the standings as we wait breathlessly for a winner in the Final Series:
Adam: 3 points
Adrian: 7 + 2 = 9 points
Bert+Ev: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10 points (and can add 4 if the Penguins win the Cup)
Dean: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10 points (ditto)
Jesse: 7 + 2 + 3 = 12 points (since Jesse picked Washington in the final, that's as far as he can go)
Jordan: 2 points
Lane: 5 points
Lee: 3 points
Marc: 7 + 4 + 3 = 14 points (but Marc picked Boston to win the Cup (as if!), so 14 is as good as it gets for him)
Sarah: 5 + 2 = 7 points
Sylvianne: 4 + 2 = 6 points
If Detroit wins, Marc wins all the dough. If Pittsburgh wins, Marc, Bert+Ev, and I will be tied with 14 points, and we'll need to work out the tie-breaker, based on our prediction of games in each series.
