Q: What are the rules for the playoff bracket?
A: This format is simple enough for the novice, yet challenging enough for the most serious basketball fans:
Members try to pick the winner of each NBA Playoff series
For each series, they also pick how many games they think the series will go (4, 5, 6 or 7 games)
Points are awarded for each winning pick, with bonus points for how close they come to the correct series length
Points values increase as the tournament progresses (points per round are configurable by the Pool Commissioner)
The winning entry is the team with the most points at the end of Playoffs.
Q: How can I change my entry name that appears in the reports?
A: Entry names can be changed on your entries page within the pool. Click on the appropriate pool membership on your Pool Memberships page. Once in the pool, navigate to the 'Your Picks' tab and click the 'rename' link next to the entry you would like to change.
Q: When are the standings (and other reports) updated?
A: Most updates will occur within minutes of the conclusion of each game, however due to the nature of the internet, we make no guarantee about the exact time an update will take place.
Q: Can I add a member's pick for them after the pick deadline?
A: Yes. To do so, follow these steps:
1. If they did not join yet, click the 'Add a Member' link under Commissioner Console --> Member Management.
2. Click the 'Member Pick Maintenance' link in the Commissioner Console.
3. Follow the instructions on screen.
Q: Can I customize the scoring?
A: Yes, set the number of points members get for picking the correct series winners. Players can be given different points for picking the correct series length (in games), being one game off, etc.
