NBA Predict The Playoffs
Rules

HOW IT'S PLAYED
What You Do: There are 4 rounds of the NBA Playoffs:
1.) Round 1 (8 matchups)
2.) Conference Semi-Finals (4 matchups)
3.) Conference Finals (2 matchup)
4.) NBA Final (1 matchup)

For each series of the NBA playoffs and prior to each round, you will choose who you think will win each of the 15 playoff series that comprise the NBA playoffs.

Each correct selection earns you points based on the points distribution chart in the next two sections.

Bonus Points are also awarded for each low seed selection that upsets a higher seed.

Any incorrect selection scores zero points

See "Points Distribution Section" below for how much the point values are for each round
Points Distribution: Each round is assigned a different point value awarded for each correct selection made. Below is the breakdown of each round

ROUND 1: 5 points for each correct selection in this round

CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS: 10 points for each correct selection in this round

CONFERENCE FINALS: 15 points for each correct selection in this round:

NBA FINALS: 20 points for choosing the NBA champion correctly

NOTE: Maximum number of points you can earn in the entire pool is 130 points
Bonus Points (Seed Differential): There are 16 team eligible for the postseason. Each team will be ranked 1 through 8 in their respective conference.

Each entry that selects a team to advance who is a lower seed will receive the seed differential of those 2 teams

EXAMPLE: #8 seed Charlotte defeats #1 seed Cleveland. If you choose Charlotte to win this series, you are awarded 7 bonus points for this series. (8-1=7)

Each series in this pool will follow the same format for awarding bonus points.

If in the NBA Finals, the 2 teams are ranked the same, no bonus points will be awarded for this round.
Winners: The entry that accumulates the most points after the NBA champion is crowned will be declared the winner.

Tiebreaker: Before the NBA Finals start, when making your selections, you will need to choose the total number of points scored in the final NBA Finals game. The entry that is closest, high or low, wins the tiebreaker and is declared the winner

If there is still a tie after the tiebreaker, the payout will be split among those entries still tied.
SUBMITTING SHEETS
Multiple Sheets: To increase your chances of winning, you may play as many times as you wish. Each entry will be scored separately.

If you would like to play a 2nd or 3rd sheet, please contact the league commissioner at info@fantasysportzgames.com at signup.
Weekly Picks: You have several options in which to submit your picks each week:

1.) Go to our homepage at www.fantasysportzgames.com and click on "Selections" in the "Active Leagues" section.

If there is another way you would like to submit your picks each week, please let the commish know and he will try to accommodate

Picks for all entries will be posted before each round begins
Submission Deadline: All picks for each round need to be submitted before the tipoff of Game 1 of the first series, whenever that may be. If a series has started and an entry has not submitted picks, no points will be awarded that entry for that series. Selections for the remaining series in that round may be accepted if they are received before tipoff of Game 1 of their respective series.
