Scoring:

In the first round, you get 10 points for picking the series winner, with an additional 5 point bonus for getting the number of games correct. This doubles in each round all the way through the NBA Finals. (80 points for winner, 40 point bonus)

Tiebreaker:

In the event of a tied score, the tie breaker rules will go into effect which decide the winner based on series accuracy in reverse chronological order (Finals back to first round). I.E I will check the score accumulated in the Conference Finals and whoever had the higher point total will be the winner. If the score was tied in the Conference Finals I will go back to the Semi Finals, and so on.

Prizes:

There will be a prize this year, as has been the case in years past. and being that there is a prize please only make one bracket. This went really well last year and I didnt see one duplicate and would hate to see it spoiled cause its a fun thing to do every year.

Will circle back around once registration opens but wanted to put it out there early.

Registration will close upon the start of the first playoff game and there will be NO LATE ENTRIES

I feel like most are too internet savvy to need this nowadays but I was thinking the prize should be a year of League Pass

That's not a bad idea for those who don't indulge. I was thinking there could be 2-3 options with LP being one and maybe another idea could be a pair of tickets to a game

Of course beggars can't be choosers :smile: so any prize would be appreciated
 
I thought about tickets before as well it would definitely need to be a backup option for our non NBA city people. I like it. To a certain price cap of course
 
I cannot stress it enough, one entry per person please. Haven't seen this not respected in the past which I appreciate, but felt like I should just say it as I expect more entries than every this year.
