SCF FORM: https://goo.gl/forms/GrMCreSVnS14TRal2
Full leaderboard: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...uulKWLjdzjbFiclTSBy0cY5AWw/edit#gid=457335021
Current overall leaders:
Round 1 winners:
Round 2 winners:
Conference Finals leaders were tied with a bunch of people as no-one picked perfectly but many had Nashville in 6 and Pens.
HOW TO PLAY:
This will be round-by-round so you'll be picking only a round at a time, not filling out the entire bracket before the playoffs start. Each round, I'll post the link to the Google form where you will submit your picks. You don't need a Google account to play. There will not be reminders sent out when the next round is ready to be picked so make sure to check back after a round ends.
Link to Google form to submit picks for current round: closed.
The form is pretty straightforward. There is ONE question per series so you'll select one team and one series length. The form won't allow you to select more than 2 options but if you somehow manage to select two teams or two series lengths, I'll delete your picks for that series. Check out the point system below before submitting, specifically that you can get points for the series length without picking the correct winner (and vice versa).
As series end, I'll post updates as to who picked the series correctly and overall standings. Check the second post for the most updated standings. I'll also use the data collected to post the stats as to who HF has as the favorite and how long the series is expected to last. The form also asks for favorite team (optional) so I may be able to provide some more interesting stats (like what does Team A's rivals think about that team's chances to advance).
Last thing, the point system is below. I tried to craft it so each round matters but there is more weighting of later series. I'm up to change it if someone has a better one. I was also considering a multiplier for 'riding' a team (i.e. picking them to win again when successfully picking them to win the previous round) but that's up to discussion.
There's nothing but bragging rights on the line but good luck! Make sure to read the submission rules below if you have any questions or suggestions but it should be pretty straightforward.
SUBMISSION RULES:
1. Submissions will close before puck drop of the first game of each round. Late submissions will not be accepted (the form will either close at puck drop or late submissions will be deleted).
2. All submissions must be made on via the google form. No submissions (or changes) will be accepted via PMs or posts on this thread.
3. Once you submit the form, you will NOT be able to make any changes so consider your picks final.
4. Usernames on the form should match your HF username so you can claim your bragging rights. Please don't use your real name.
5. You are only allowed a single submission. If there are usernames with multiple submissions, I will delete all of them. If this leads to problems in later rounds (i.e. submitting with other competitors' usernames), I will consider requiring a post on this thread within a few minutes of submitting the form to verify submissions.
6. If you have any issues with the form or questions, post on this thread and I'll do my best to help and work through issues. I don't know how well google will handle high numbers of submissions, etc. so we will see as we go.
POINT SYSTEM:
You will be picking both the series winner and the series length.
Note: These picks are independent of one another. That is, you can get points for the correct series length even if you picked the incorrect winner (and vice versa).
Here is the point system I am proposing:
Conference Quarterfinals (1st round)
2 points for correct series winner, 1 point for correct series length
1 bonus point for a perfect series (winner + length)
= each series worth 4 points for total of 32 points
Conference Semifinals (2nd round)
4 points for correct series winner, 2 points for correct series length
2 bonus points for a perfect series (winner + length)
= each series worth 8 points for total of 32 points
Conference Finals
6 points for correct series winner, 3 points for correct series length
3 bonus points for a perfect series (winner + length)
= each series worth 12 points for total of 24 points
Stanley Cup Finals
8 points for correct series winner, 4 points for correct series length
4 bonus points for a perfect series (winner + length)
You will also pick a total goals scored in the SCF as a potential tiebreaker
= SCF worth 16 points
Total of 104 points available
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know. Otherwise, good luck!
