Remember how I said that we'd have a competition? Well we're endorsing this one. The top prize is a forums upgrade of YOUR CHOOSING! Avatar, platinum, archives, no ads, pick one and you got it.

The worst prize is THE AVATAR OF SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME (TM). Note, if you've already toxxed your avatar on the results of the NHL playoffs, you're immune! So if you have the worst bracket, and you bet your avatar elsewhere, it'll go to the 2nd worst one!

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!

Yeah well your boy is sort of killing it in round one and I don't need some prick blowing it the rest of the time only to nail the SCF and taking those prizes.

Max points available in round 2: 40 (4 series, 10 points each)

You also can lose up to 8 points each round.

Next year I'll just use a random number generator and I'll be likely to get better results than right now.

You see all those BroBot entries?

That's exactly that.
