May be just 8-10 people joining, most of the NBA peoples are at Euro Hoop.....that's okay, easier to win for DJ!!!!
 
You have to be on your game to get your picks in on time.....gonna be challenging.
 
@Vita The pick just straight up winner or off the spread?

The plan is by the spread, however it may be difficult to keep up.

Either way it will be the same for all games in the same week.

FYI- For each round if there are a lot of sweeps we will consolidate Round 1 / Week 5 with Round 1 / Week 6

Also if there are a lot of Game 6 & 7's, we may divide Round 1 / Week 6 into 2 separate Weeks. (Which is highly unlikely, but worth still mentioning)
 
@Vita I just noticed the "score of each team" field. I'm confused. Is this the combined score or what?
No, not combined we need the final score of each team.

Example:

Week: Round 1 / Game 3
Tiebreaker 1:
Score of Each Team for 76ers @ Wizards

Week: Round 1 / Game 3
Tiebreaker 2 :
Score of Each Team for Nets @ Celtics

Keep in mind, predict the final score for each team.

Tiebreaker 1 Prediction:
76ers 100 / Wizards 101

Tiebreaker 2 Prediction:
Nets 100 / Celtics 101

The pickem was suppose to be set as a spread pickem for 8-16 game weeks but locked as a straight up pickem in error.

So multiple predictions are necessary to break all the ties we are bound to see in the 8+ game weeks.

I figured 4 tiebreaker predictions would sort out the ties well enough.

As always, I only use Tiebreaker 2 to break the tie of two or more who are still tied after Tiebreaker 1.

These details were posted in the Pickem thread comment section.
