NPPG: 2021 Playoff Thread

[Jonesey]

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.

Forward - Forward - Forward
Defense - Defense
Goalie

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.

I can't promise to remain active throughout the playoffs, so assuming you get enough members to play I'm out. Sorry for inactivity.
