I've set up my playoff picks for this year at http://www.schreibdog.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Lots of LGP'ers have joined in the past and I hope you all come back again this year.
How the Playoff Pool works:
Create an account at http://www.schreibdog.com/join.php (all accounts from last year are removed so you'll need to sign up again if you joined last year) and then log into the playoff system and make your round 1 predictions (Since the NHL reseeds all of the teams after round one, I can't have an easy system to make your picks through the entire playoffs at once).
Feel free to invite friends you know that may be interested and tell them to go to http://www.schreibdog.com/join.php and sign up.
It's totally free (you can join the money pool if you want), and the more the merrier, I say...I had 50 people in this last season, and I'd like even more this year.
The homepage (http://www.schreibdog.com) will show the results once the first round begins.
YOU CAN LOGIN AND CHANGE YOUR PICKS UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING at 6:30PM ET! After that, the round is closed.
Scoring:
1 point is rewarded for correct round 1 selections, 2 points for round 2, 3 for round 3, and 4 for the Stanley Cup finals.
Once the following round match-ups are defined, you'll be sent a note to log back into http://www.schreibdog.com/playoffs.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and make your selections.
PM me or just reply to this thread if you have any questions.
Let the madness begin...
Pens all the way!

), it does not make much sense to reward later-round picks with more points. It DOES make sense to do that in March Madness, where you pick all brackets at T=0, and the chances of your team advancing always decline by 50% (on average) with every round. Consequently, you should reward correct picks for Sweet 16, Elite 8,... by more points. However, in your game, by design, every round you pick the same 50/50 "coin flip" - so it would make more sense to reward the winner of any one series (regardless which round it happens) by the same one point.
