Clearly there is an issue with the tool I am using. I will check it when I get home later tonight. For now, I would appreciate if EVERYONE put in picks for the 2nd round. I will re-run the numbers properly and load the picks in for people who should be moving forward.
My apologies for the confusion. |

Hi again,
This is Guest6071, AKA Guest6089. I thought I had my username issue solved but it seemed my last post was also as a Guest.
Second time's a charm - I hope 
So again, my picks for the 2nd round are:
EAST
(1) Philly in 6
(2) Washington in 6
WEST
(1) Vancouver in 6
(2) Detroit in 7
I apologize for the confusion. |

No worries, Beans . . . we do appreciate the extra time and effort put into keeping track of this stuff.
I did have a couple of questions for you though . . . in regards to the total number of games off we are at predicting series length:
1) Do you count the wrong predictions as well?
IMHO, this would be bad form, as if I predicted Phoenix in4 games, and instead, Detroit wins in 4 . . . that's not only wrong, it's at the other end of the spectrum - and yet, if counted along with the correct predictions, it would be perfect.
2) I hope you are not counting +1 if over a game, and -1 if under a game.
This would also wildly skew the real value of being off by one or two games in series length. For instance, if doing it this way, a guy picked Washington in 6and Detroit in 5, he'd be at 0, and another guy who picked Washington in 5 and Detroit in 6 would be at +2. Even though in total, they were both off by 2 games, one guy looks like he was perfect, in essence.
My thought is , we should just be counting series wins for the length; and counting total number of deviation, regardless of whether it's too short or long.
Just my two cents.

No worries dude, and thanks for running this again. I looked over the results 5 times before posting my comment last night just to be sure i was right!! Kept saying to myself, Philly really did win, right? TBay did just win a couple hours ago, right? Etc....
Then i thought maybe you were not giving credit for the Vancouver win, just because.
Although i prob still don't qualify with 5, i'll throw my picks out there anyway.
Washington in 6
Boston in 7
Vancouver in 5
San Jose in 7 |

Alrighty. The Ducks have seemingly ruined my chances in my playoff pool but I still have a chance for bragging rights here.
The second round is an intriguing one to say the least.
Can the Caps get past round two for once? Personally I think we see Stamkos light it up a lot more in this series. What is the injury status of Semin, Wideman, and Green? Ovie can't do it all. How is the Boston VS Philly re-match going to turn out...goaltending will surely be a factor. Although we seen very little offence from the Bruins I like this match up better than the Habs as the Bruins might be able to keep up to the Flyers. Lucic will be better...he has to be.
In the west, can the Wings continue to do what they seem to always do...win? I usually never bet against this team and if Zetterberg is back he will be a major contributor, also I usually never bet on the Sharks, no explanation needed. Is Nashville going to turn out to be that dark horse team this year? After all, they do have a great d-man tandem and all world goalie. The twins will need to be a lot better if they are to make it to the final, they looked a little afraid against the Hawks.
Hmmmm....
Well here it goes....
East:
Washington VS Tampa Bay - Tampa Bay in 7
Philadelphia VS Boston - Boston in 6
West:
San Jose VS Detroit - Detroit in 7
Vancouver VS Nashville - Vancouver in 6
Good Luck Everyone!!!

I assumed that Beans put up that leaderboard before the final series was completed when there couldn't be any changes to the eliminated vs. the uneliminated in our own game. I assumed that there couldn't be any changes to those 'on the bubble' due to same picks or something.. |

Slozo, I appreciate your 2 cents and I will be sure to take this into account in future season. However, the rules are what they are, they have been set, and I do not have the time nor the interest to change them now.
Remeber this before next year and we can make some changes. |

| Don't worry about being late. One day turn around is pretty tight. I will load all the information in the next day or two as I am pretty busy at work. That being said, anything that has a edit done after today will be forfieted. I mean, this is really serious stuff. |

I have everything loaded that I have received to this point. I have not gotten anything from
Sashis34, Umeteman, Utemin, and Guest4915.
If you want in, I think you can put in your picks before the end of the first game today. I think if we let it go any longer, it gives the late picks an unfair advantage.
Here is the breakdown of picks to this point. The number if brackets is the number of people who picked that team to win.
Vancouver (14) vs Nashville (0)
San Jose(4) vs Detroit(10)
Philadelphia(6) vs Boston(8)
Washington(11) vs Tampa Bay (3) |

Just had a quick look and . . . looks like no one got it perfect, but there were a few 3/4s. I got 2/4 myself, so hopefully I advance!

The list below should be complete. Please double check it and let me know if there are any issues.
Those in bold go on(top 1/2 and ties). For the 3rd round, a third tie-breaker will be total goals scored(both teams combined) in each series.
Put your picks in as soon as possible.

Looks like I just barely made it . . . oooohh, and you cut off FatElvis? That is a tough cut, the only guy with 2 correct picks to not make it to the third round?
My vote is to include him the third round, but that is just me.
Actually, I don't get it . . . why is the cut-off where it is, Beans? Why at the 9th person (myself in this case)? Seems totally arbitrary.
My Picks:
Vancouver vs San Jose - Canucks in 6 (31 total goals)
The Sharks are a deep team and will give a tough fight, but they haven't met a defence the equal of Vancouver, and eventually their scoring will dry right up.
Boston vs Tampa Bay - Lightning in 6 (27 total goals)
No Bergeron to me means that Boston wins two games because of Thomas, and the Lightning stars become too much for the Boston D to handle.

Arbitrary???
1/2 of entries plus ties move on. 17 people
9 people made it through with the last 2 people tied with picks and games.
How is that arbitrary???
If FER puts in an entry, I will take it.
I am calling this out right now, I am not doing this again next year. Someone else can put it on and deal with Slozo and his '2 cents' after every round. I committed to this year so I will finish it but my time is worth something and when people bring up crap about how things are done, how ties are decided, who is in and who is out, my time becomes more valuable doing something else. |

there is nothing arbitrary, beans made the rules pretty clear at the beginning - the rest is just math. Looks like Slozo and I squeaked into the next round by a single game differential over FER.
My picks:
SJ/VAN: VAN in 6, 25 goals
BOS/TB: BOS in 6, 30 goals |

You listed 15 people, beans.
You kept the top 9.
That is why it seemed arbitrary to me. Nuxfan, count it up, mathman. What kind of math is a 9/15 split? What is with the fur up and the hackles raised just because I ask a question?
I have no problem running it next year, btw. I like to do things fairly, as much as possible, and don't mind if someone is politely wondering why something is done a certain way or is suggesting a more fair way to figure things out.

Yeah, there are 9 out of 15, but the bottom 2 are tied. So, the top 8 positions went through, which ends up being 9 people. If you and I were not tied, only one of us would have gone through, making it 8 out of 15. FER didn't make it because he was not tied with us.
In the very first post of this thread, read rule 3: "After each playoff round, the top 1/2 of the entries (plus ties) will move on to the next round". Note the plus ties portion. |

Hey Smart guy, two people made it to the 2nd round and didn't put teams in. 15 who put in teams and 2 who did not make up 17 for the 2nd round. What is 1/2 of 17 plus ties??? Me thinks it's 9, but correct me if I am wrong.
And politely wondering?? You knew the rules when we started and you agreed to them with your entry. You said nothing until AFTER the 1st round. Then you spew about what's fair and not fair on the number of games. Then, you don't like the split of the number of people going on to the 3rd round, even though that was also very clear in the rules.
