    Stanley Cup Playoffs Predictions Contest
    As I have done for the last couple years I will be running another Playoffs Predictions Contest. A lot of you are familiar with the rules but for those who aren't here's the breakdown:

    1. 50 point buy in.
    2. Pick the outcome of every series, each round.
    3. Pick the correct amount of games the series will go.

    4. Pick your East and West champions before the start of Round 1.
    5. Pick your Stanley Cup Champion before the start of Round 1.


    -You will earn 3 points per correct team in each series, with a 1 point exact games bonus. This bonus is only achieved if you have the correct series winner.
    -You will earn 5 points per correct East and West champion.
    -You will earn 10 points for the correct Stanley Cup champion.

    Here are a couple examples below.

    Ex: (1) WAS vs (8) NYR
    Prediction: Caps in 6
    Result: WAS 4 NYR 2
    Points Awarded: 3


    (2) PHI vs (7) BUF
    Prediction: Buffalo in 7
    Result: PHI 4 BUF 1
    Points Awarded: 0


    You will pick again before the start of the 2nd and 3rd rounds and the Cup finals. Don't forget! Your East and West and Cup Champs picks must be done before the start of the 1st round.

    Anyways this is always a lot of fun and adds an extra element of excitement for the post-season. This year I want to do a 50 point buy in so we get a nice prize pool going. How many entrants paid will be dependent on how many people join. So if you want in just send me 50 points in this first post.

    The East matchups are all set up and after tomorrow the West will be as well. Playoffs start Wednesday so make sure to have your picks in before 4:05 PM PST of that day.Figured I would post this now so people have time to save up their points, borrow, gamble etc.


    PS: Don't worry stats are easy to do with this contest I won't get behind like the P.O.D. thread Also make sure to pick the Canucks because they are winning it all

    Let's go! No one interested or what? Could just do a 25 point buy in if 50 is too much for most of us. Shit is fun!

                  Would love to join a contest like this but these new "SBR Pro" rules really ruined it for bettors who bet with locals/bookies and what not. Should be able to fill this contest up before the first round starts. Good luck

                                50 sent.

                                  Anybody know if you have to be an "SBRPRO" to transfer a large block of points now? It was fine back in the day transferring but maybe things have changed.

                                    Yo DG this was your example:

                                    Ex: (1) WAS vs (8) NYR
                                    Prediction: Caps in 6
                                    Result: WAS 4 NYR 2
                                    Points Awarded: 3

                                    Just want to clarify how points are awarded. Three points for the correct series winner and a bonus one if the number of games the series goes is correct as well? Would this example be 3 or 4 points?Either way I am in. Trying to send you points but it wont let me. I'll keep trying. Thanks for doing this.

                                            Oops good catch my bad. That would be 3 for the series winner and a 1 point bonus for the correct amount of games.

                                              My bad on the example, leave it to me to screw up an example If you pick the correct winner of the series and the total games you get 4 total points.

                                                Good start. There should be 20-30 of us I'm guessing by the time the playoffs start. This should be a lot of fun. I know CarolinaDaze won one of the last two years, I can't remember exactly.

                                                          SBR have changed the rules recently so only "pro" members can transfer more than 2 points per day.

                                                                    I definitly won last years, Dg gave me slack for picking the same team to win Championship in same amount of games as 2th place guy did. If i remember correctly Watertight, u bragged last year about winning the 1st year. And Optional, as always thanks for DONATING, LOL. GL this will be a fun one.
