NHL.com has a point system that has 10 for first round, 25 for second, 50 for third, 100 for finals, and then bonus points for getting the number of games right. Another bracket pool I'm in is doing number of total goals in finals as tie breaker, or if there's ties could just have multiple prizes for tied bests/worsts. :shrug:

quote:

Basic Scoring: An Entrant must correctly guess the winner of a Series in order to be awarded Basic Scoring Points. Basic Scoring Points per correct prediction/selection per Series in a given Round are shown below:

1st Round: Earn 10 points for each correctly-predicted Series winner.

2nd Round: Earn 25 points for each correctly-predicted Series winner.

3rd Round - Conference Finals: Earn 50 points for each correctly-predicted Series winner.

4th Round - Stanley Cup® Final: Earn 100 points for correctly predicting the winner of the Stanley Cup® Final Series matchup (i.e., the 2017 Stanley Cup® Champion)

In the event a Series does not occur as scheduled (e.g., due to cancellation, postponement, etc.) no points will be awarded in respect of that Series.

Bonus Points: For each Series in the 1st Round, there will be one (1) bonus question. The bonus question for each Series in the 1st Round is as follows: the Entrant must predict how many games will be played in that particular Series. If the Entrant correctly answers the bonus question for a given Series, such Entrant shall be awarded three (3) Bonus Points so long as such Entrant also correctly predicted the winner of that Series. By way of example, since there are eight (8) Playoff Series in the 1st Round, there are eight (8) bonus questions to be answered (one per Series). Thus, an Entrant has the opportunity to earn as much as twenty-four (24) Bonus Points in the 1st Round (by correctly answering each bonus question and correctly predicting each Series winner). If an Entrant does not correctly predict the winner of a given Series but correctly answers the bonus question for that Series, then the Entrant will not receive any Bonus Points for that Series. Entrants must answer the bonus question for each 1st Round Series when completing and saving the Bracket prior to the Picks Period Closing Date. An Entrant may change his/her answers to bonus questions before the Picks Period Closing Date, by making any appropriate changes and again re-saving the respective Bracket, but once the Picks Period Closing Date occurs, all answers will lock and may not be changed again.

seems ok to me but i might keep the bonus points up for each rouch (doubled, so round 2 is 6, ecf/wcf is 12, scf is 24)

I think everybody who submitted a bracket is in the upgrade-or-avatar Toxx pool, which I'm assuming means I win as long as Toronto upsets Washington because I'd be shocked if I'm not the only one that picked that.

So, here is the point system we're going to use to rate your ability to pick a winner.

  • If you pick the winning team of a series, you get two points.
  • If you pick the correct number of games, you get three additional points
  • If your amount of games is off by one, you get two bonus points.
  • If you are off by two in games needed, you get one bonus point.
  • If you are off by three, you get nothing.
  • If you pick the wrong winner, you lose a point.

The amount of points will double each round, so the max points per series in the first round is 5 (2 + 3), and the max for the cup is 40 (16 + 24).

Accuracy counts!

to be clear, point values for round 1:
