How do we do this?

 

[PP34]

I've been bombarded with three assessments on my return to school. Is anyone else willing to add up correct picks?

Haven't really thought of one as of yet. Has anyone had experience in running these type of things? Any advice on scoring?

20 points for correct series winner. 10 extra points for correct series games on/lost outcome. 1 bonus point per round, you pick the highest scorer in one idividual game used as a sort of tie breaker?

Found the one from a forum where I participated previously.

Scoring:
Here's how the scoring will work. You will get points for every correct pick you make. As the playoff rounds increase, you will get higher point values for a correct series match up pick. Additionally, their will be BONUS points awarded for those who pick the correct team and pick the correct number of games that team wins the best of 7 series in.

Scoring Guide
Round Scoring
Round 1 Correct Pick=2pts.
Round 2 Correct Pick=4pts.
Round 3 (Confernce Finals) Correct Pick=8 pts.
Round 4 (The Finals) Correct Pick=16 pts.

BONUS Point Scoring(Correctly Pick the Number of Games the series is won in)
Round 1 Correct Games= +1pt.
Round 2 Correct Games= +2pts.
Round 3 (Conference Finals) Correct Games= +4pts.
Round 4 (The Finals) Correct Games= +8pts.

Example of Scoring:
Chicago plays Philadelphia in the 1st Round. Your pick is "Philadelphia(5)" for that 1st round match up. Philly wins the series in 5 games. For that particular pick you get 2 pts. for picking the correct team and you get an additional +1 Bonus point for correctly picking the number of games they won the series in. So for that pick you get 3pts.(2+1 bonus pt.). You will do that for each match up all the way to the Finals winner, until your bracket is complete.

Max Points Calculation:
1st Round= 3pts.(2+1 bonus) x 8 Series= 24pts.
2nd Round= 6pts.(4+2 bonus) x 4 Series= 24pts.
3rd Round= 12pts.(8+4 bonus) x 2 Series= 24pts.
Finals= 24 pts.(16+8 bonus) x 1 Series= 24 pts.
Total Possible Max Points= 96 pts

Do we do it one round at a time or all at once?

If I'm taking over, It's NCAA style. This is nbaman1 baby. He decides. My opinions is let's see who has the nuts to go all the way picking it from the get go. Which I actually thing is the point of this thread

 

[nufan]

That being said nbaman1 you will need to determine a tie breaker rule just in case.
