NPPG: NPPG 2019 Playoffs

[Jonesey]

The top 16 players are invited to play. If anyone declines or does not respond before Monday at 5:00 PM Central, I will bump the responding players up the standings and invite players that finished out of the top 16 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 everyone responds, I will seed a bracket 1v16, 2v15, etc.

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.

Feel free to submit your lineups now either here or through PM.

Not picking Preds this round!

 

[jumb0]

I’m in. Will PM my lineup Monday/Tuesday

 

[King Weber]

Count me in. Will post the lineup later as well.

 

[PredsV82]

Im in. We can post our roster anytime before the start of the first game, right?

 

[Legionnaire11]

In of course, but expecting another early exit after a strong regular season

 

[WartracePred]

I'm in. My first time so I need clarification. Do we only choose Preds players? Or do we choose any player in the playoffs? If we choose any player in the playoffs, when is the round officially over? For example, what if 2 teams begin round 2 while 2 other teams are still in round 1?

 

[NoNecksCurse]

I will have my picks by Tuesday!

 

[BigFatCat999]

I'm in, if I qualify

 

[Adz]

I'm in. My first time so I need clarification. Do we only choose Preds players? Or do we choose any player in the playoffs? If we choose any player in the playoffs, when is the round officially over? For example, what if 2 teams begin round 2 while 2 other teams are still in round 1?

You can pick from the entire pool of players in that round. You can't pick anyone twice (except in the event the two goalies you picked to start play each other). Part of the strategy is determining who is going to still be around next round for others to pick and try to outguess others or prepare for end game--and of course YOU have to still be around to pick them. The round is officially over when every series has a winner. Sometimes it does get a little tough to pick when rounds are still going on but it's up to you to keep up with all that!


Also, I'm in.
