The top 32 players will be invited to play. If anyone declines or does not respond within 24 hours of the season ending, I will bump the responding players up the standings and invite players that finished out of the top 32 to join. They will be joining on a first come, first serve basis. You must have registered at least 1 point in the regular season to be eligible.
Once the season ends, I will seed a bracket into 8 pods of 4 teams (bracket will be posted soon so everyone can see the layout). The top two teams from each pod advance to the next round. There will be pods of 4 teams every round. I did this so we had 32 participants. I may change this for next year to the top 16 only.
The lineups will be as followed. Be aware you are only allowed to pick one lineup per round, and the lineups will reset once the round is over.

There are no restrictions on who you can choose, however you can only select the player once in the playoffs. The only exception is goaltender which you can duplicate only in the finals if you have already chosen both goaltenders that are the starters on their team. The points remain the same from the regular season.
Lineups can be PM'ed to me or posted in the thread that is created. I will not share your picks with anyone and I will post mine in the thread. All rosters will be posted when they are locked so there is no changes after the puck drops on game 1 of the round. If you fail to post a roster, you will be given 0 points for the round.
There will be bonus points available. If you pick the winner of the series correct, you receive 2 points. If you predict the correct amount of games the series ends in, you get 2 points. If you get both correct, it becomes a total of 5 points.
If there is a tie, the higher seed wins the tiebreaker. That way you have an advantage and the regular season has meaning.
