we have survived the group play stages with the support of our friends LL Cool J and The Roots and now it is time to determine who becomes the first champion of the Cool-niverse. here is where we stand after group play:



and while the NBA is crowning their champion, we here on the forums can crown a prediction champion. punch some predictions into this handy google form to enter into the quest to determine the Ballstradamus of Something Awful. here's how we are gonna score this:

-if you predict the correct winner of a single game, you earn a point
-if you predict the correct winner for every game in a round, you earn an additional point
-the final round will have two additional predictions (specifics TBD) for use in the case of a points tie so that we can determine an ultimate champion

let's go have fun!!

you can still submit for round 2 and the finals, if everyone else does terribly your ability to earn (2 + 1) + (1 + 1) points can still put you in contention

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I am sorry I forgot I meant to do it this afternoon. For fun:



I'll say

Lakers vs Kings
Pacers vs Bucks


--> Kings vs Pacers final

Pacers win.

if I run it again next year it'll probably just be a single bracket to make entering easier

Yeah, when I do the playoffs I have to open it up before series are done and keep it open through a couple games. Obv not possible with this. I do kinda like new questions every "round" vs a bracket but a bracket might be better for this format.
