Yeah, I knew what you were asking there. I was just throwing in a gratuitous plug for my guys.  [sm_devil]


There are a couple of puckheads around here. I'm knee deep in financial aid/scholarship/taxes crap or I'd try to run it.

I don't follow or really know anything about nhl, but hell I couldn't do much worse than the contests for the sports I do follow/know anything about.

well, i was looking around... doesnt look like either cbs or espn has any bracket thing setup  (like for ncaa march madness)


text only on the forum works for me... anyone else?



Proposed format: Pick each round of the bracket
1st round, winning teams 1 point each, 2nd round, winning teams...2 points each, etc...
Also, pick the number of games of each series- 1  point bonus if correct (to help break ties).      I suppose it's possible you could still end up tied after the finals, and I have no idea what else to do as a tiebreaker (total team goals in the series?)




thoughts, ideas, etc?



I'll work on a prize or two (that people might actually want)  later today...

am i missing something there? it seems more fantasy teams based than just 'pick the winnner' bracket?

Would work for me!  Proposed format sounds good, too.  [sm_thumbsup2]
