PLAYOFF CHALLENGE: 1st Round * Picks to be locked Monday 5/24 before first game
#1
Alright, gonna start this in the main forum and move it to the contests and challenges board after.

Rules:
  • Give the winner of each 1st round matchup
  • Give the number of games it will take to secure the win (number of games can give a point regardless of series winner)
Scoring:
  • 1 point for each correct prediction 
  • 2 points for every Mavs correct prediction 
Example:

Mavs vs LaC
  • Mavs win
  • 6 games
Your points for this round will be moved to the next round. There will be a final winner at the end.

Award:
Big Brain 2021 Playoffs title

* Picks will be locked with a time stamped post by me. Any edits to posts after the timestamp nullifies the entry.
