Also, I fail to see where I once "defended myself" other than saying the rules were set from the start. I never once said if the system was right or wrong. Did anyone else read through the the thread that Slozo posted? Did anyone else notice that Slozo didn't bring anything up until April 28th, after the first round was complete?
Thanks for posting a thread that proves absolutely nothing. And on a final note, if you do read through the thread from last year you will see that Slozo completely disagreed with the system. Would you agree that criticizing the system last year and then, in your words, using the exact same system and defending it as fair this year make you a hypocrite?

Hopefully all the posters DO, in fact, read through the thread, and hopefully they all have better reading comprehension skills than you, Beans.
My tie breaker is set up much differently. And it was the tie-breaker I had an issue with, as I felt it was unfair. Now that I am running it this year, I changed it, to become the most equitable system I thought could be implemented.
How, exactly, is that hypocritical?

You conflate things as usual.
There are two parts to the prediction involved: series winner, and length.
In your game, series winner RE-SET each new round.
In your game, the series length tie-breaker RE-SET each new round.
In my game, series winner ALSO re-sets each round (same).
In my game, series length is both calculated differently, and also CARRIES OVER each round AS A TIE-BREAKER (different).
Now,
You were contending that the UNFAIR PART of my game was that the SERIES WINNER picks are not cumulative (carried over). Funny enough, THAT PART of the game (which you are complaining about) is EXACTLY THE SAME as THAT PART of the game YOU ran last year.
Hopefully you can't somehow twist and turn that around in attempting to backpedal and defend yourself now? I know you'll give it a good shot!

I have not revisited the link from the 4 pages of last years pool nor do i want to spend the time doing so. Having said that, i prob will later today when i'm bored at work and actually have more time  .
Regardless, Slozo, please explain to me why one player is rewarded with picking a four game sweep when the wrong team sweeps???
Again, it's your game and your rules and i'm okay playing along with it as the rules are the same for everyone. IIRC, i agreed with some of the stuff you said last year (to be clarified later) and all i'm trying to do, and assume it was your goal last year with Beans, is make the game as fair, fun, etc as possible. Why not listen to suggestions that might make it more fair for everyone? Maybe my suggestion is completely off base and useless. If it is, feel free to let me know, but at least aknowledge it.  |

As I believe that people are smart enough to figure stuff out on their own. My point has not changed once. Simply put:
1 - I will follow the rules as they are presented.
2- If the intention is to reward picking winner, this system is flawed. I am not saying it is right or wrong or better or worse than my game last year. All I am saying is that rewarding points for picking the losing team but the correct number of gamesand carrying those 'points' forward into other rounds a direct contridiction of 'rewarding' those who pick winning teams.
No one wants to read this bickering. I am done.

Unlike other people who may bend the rules from time to time, if it's one thing I learned while being management it's this:
Uniquivical and across the board-no exceptions style fairness is always, IN THE END, appreciated by all. It gets you a lot farther than bending the rules for one person, and pissing off half a dozen others.
Being truly fair takes no exceptions, and never takes a day off. Even if you're a hot chick! (although I'd need a picture for you to prove this . . . )

Well, my time in management tells me that doing the right thing is always the right thing to do. There is a huge difference between treating things equally and treating things equitably. I don't think anyone would raise a stink about an entry that came in before the 1st game of each series has even happened.
But, it's not my game, so I'll shut up.

Not sure i'm reading this correctly? When you say "before the first game of each series has even happened", you do realize that 3 of the 8 "game 1's" have already been played when this entry was submitted? You do also realize that Tox has picked all 3 game 1 winners to be victorious in those series? Now, i'm not saying he wouldn't have picked them that way as i have no proof of that, however, 2 of 3 are considered underdogs (albeit not huge underdogs). Is this not just a little bit suspect? Could be totally legit. As a Boston fan, regardless of what he'd do if there were actually money on the line, i don't doubt for a second that he'd pick against the Canucks, but who knows? Bottom line is, he was past the dealine. My deal would be this, and sorry Slozo, i'm not trying to take over whatsoever, the Van/La, Pit/Phi and Nsh/Det series are 0's for Tox. IF he nails his other 5 and it's enough to qualify him for the next round, he's in.

Slozo.....apologies, i thought i had made a suggestion on how to deal with the tie breakers more fairly, but i think i had most of it typed out at work and never got around to sending it. I just reread this thread and expected to see it, but i have to assume i never sent it. Here goes, and sorry, it's not exactly the easiest suggestion......
Tie breaker only:
1. # of series lengths picked correctly (must have correct winning team).
2. minus 1 point for every game off correct total (eg. if series ends in 5 and guess was 7, it'd be -2) BUT, only counts in series' which winners are guessed correctly (see tie break #1)
3. total goals for entire series
A little more in depth, and prob too late for this season, but something to consider for the future. Slozo, like i said, my only issue is a guy getting rewarded for a sweep when the sweep went the other way! So far from the correct prediction, yet still rewarded!
Regardless, thanks for organizing! |

Alex,
Ok, thanks for the suggestion.
I have thought of all of these points in depth already however, and the reasoning for getting rid of the point system for being off one or two from the actual series length is, it's mathematically silly to even guess 4, 5 or 7 games - odds are the series will be 6 games, and if not, odds are extremely strong that this guess of 6 is off only by one (only way it couldn't be is if it is a sweep - rare these years).
I pointed this out with Beans years ago, and although I used my own personal honour system not to just do the mathematically appropriate guess of 6 games across the board, it left itself open for this.
To actually only reward a correct guess, in my humble opinion, is the only true way to reward that number.
That being said, it may seem contradictory that I included rewarding the correct number for incorrect winner . . . but I felt that without it, there might be too few actual correct guesses with the correct team, so I weighted it 3 to 1 (correct team to incorrect team). I will concede wholeheartedly that this is sort of the "rewarding good luck" portion of the game, but as I said, I wanted to give more of a chance at not having many contestants still being tied with guesses and tie-breakers.
As to the # of total goals for the series,
I always did like that one, but will do that only for the final round. Unnecessary before that, I think, as I don't need any more tie-breakers until that point in the game.
Sound fair enough?

One who criticizes spelling should be conscious of their own errors. Unless "whinging" is a word. What's that comment about people who live glasss houses?
I wonder why my suggest was met with aggression but a similar suggestion from Alex gets a clear, respectful, and smart answer??? Actually, I don't really care but it does make me laugh.
Surprising start to most of the game 1's. I would say that the consensus favorite lost in 5 of the 7 games so far. It could make the game interesting.

I stand corrected. As I read the statement, I perceived the word intended to be used was 'whining' . I didn't expect a cheifly British word to be used in a post with all other words being in the statement being basically layman's terms.
Thank you for the education, and that is not intended sarcastically. I did learn a new word today. Touche.

I have finally completed my task of inputting all first round entries. Whew! 22 entries in total, so about 11 (perhaps + 1 or two depending on ties) or so will move on to the next round.
Hmm. Working out the numbers, may have to go with something like the top 2/3 actually, so something closer to a range of14-17 people. Then that would get chopped down to 7-8 people for the third round, then about 4 people for the final round.
I will do my best to keep to this outline, at any rate.
Here's a breakdown of how many picked what team to move on:
NYR - 18 / OTT - 4 (about what I figured it would be)
BOS - 18 / WAS - 4 (almost thought there'd be more for the Caps)
FLA - 3 / NJD - 19 (biggest vote ever for a #6 seed . . . ever!)
PIT - 18 / PHA - 4 (really thought this would be more for Philly)
VAN - 17 / LAK - 5 (seems about what I thought - despite the #1 seed vs. 8 thing, LA really is solid team)
STL - 15 / SJS - 7 (seems to be abut what I thought, San Jose will be a very tough team to beat)
PHO - 3 / CHI - 19 (see FLA/NJD comment. And despite voting for Chicago myself . . . thought there'd be mor love for Phoenix here)
NAS - 12 / DET - 10 (apparently the most debated series / hardest to pick. I admit, it is a coin flip to some degree)

Can i edit my Vancouver and Pittsburgh picks? 
It's amazing that everything i read and watched on tv leading up to the start of the playoffs had approx 75-80% of people (mostly the hockey experts, media, etc) picking a Pitts / Vancouver final! Both teams find themselves now heading out on the road down 2-0! Crazy! |

I have a pretty good chance at going o-fer. Oh how that will make some people so happy.
The West is a complete shock to me. I didn't expect to get all four right, but Vancouver and Chicago were both big shocks.
Quite the changing of the guard. Defense wins the West

Beans- I don't think your alone in being surprised by the outcomes. I think the very best I can do is 5/8. That could easily end up being 2/8 if things don't fall how I want this week

That is an impressive 0 for 5 so far, Beans . . . but you are not alone in missed predictions, Guest 5052 is also 0 fer . . ..
Amazingly, of the 5 finished series . . . NO ONE even has 4 out of 5 correct! The best we have are a bunch of people at 3 out of 5 . . . including yours truly, of course! Here is a quick update on the best so far:
mandree888 - 3/5 (4)
Alex116 - 3/5 (4)
Guest 8875 - 3/5 (4)
Open Ice - 3/5 (3)
Foolpittier - 3/5 (3)
slozo - 3/5 (3)
Pushrod - 3/5 (0)
Interesting, were the few who picked at least two of the "popular upsets" - especially picking both LA and Philly - and yet, after that, not being able to stay away from Chicago or Detroit picks. I shudder to think of what the standings will be like if both Florida and Ottawa win, never mind Washington! Yikes! Could have a 4 out of 8 score as the lowest ever "high score" of the first round . . .

I also have another question reading the point system (Correct series length, correct winning team: 3 pts) Does this mean you pick a winner but the series goes 1 game short and you get no points? Seems unlikely for no points to be awarded should you pick all winners but not length of series. I agree with Beans (dont tell nobody) picking a winning team seems more worth a tie breaker than series length. I will give you that picking a series length and getting point sounds ok too.

Don't worry about the rules for now. You have LA, STL and PHI right now and could add FLA, WASH and NYR to that if those 3 win. Win 2 or 3 of those, you'll be through to round 2. Win even 1 and you might advance as well! |

Alex - it's almost a guarantee that at least one of the "upsets" happens in the 3 eastern conference game 7s. So if one of Florida, Washington or heaven forbid Ottawa win . . . it's likely that the best anyone does is 5 out of 8 correct.
I am thinking that getting 50% might be a pass this year, lol!

I have you as having guessed Philly in 6 (correct, and correct) and Nashville in 6 (correct, and incorrect - it was in 5).
No worries - in this case you remembered incorrectly, but in other cases, it is possible for me to have made an error, so please do check guys. Just . . . actually check what you really did pick versus what actually happened please, to save me time.

Got to admit, I was pretty lucky to go 3 for 3 on those last 3 game 7's . . . certainly, that Washington and Jersey decision could have gone either way, and the Rangers game was pretty tight as well! Exciting stuff.
Everyone who made the cut (above the cut-off line), please submit your picks ASAP!!!

BTW,
Gametime tonight for Nashville/Phoenix is 9pm EST . . . and although no one will probably be actually watching it, everyone should have their picks in by then.

Beans....
How dare you nail those last two game 7's to put a stop to a truly miraculous run?
What a year, you'd think with all the craziness that there'd be a bunch of upsets picked for this next round, however, i think you'll see the tiebreakers come into play in a big way here.
NYR vs WAS - Rangers in 6
PHA vs NJD - Flyers in 7
STL vs LAK - Blues in 5
PHO vs NAS - Preds in 6

I think this year sucks!!!
I was actually hoping to go 0-8. I would have taken solice in the fact that statistically is as difficult to go 0-8 than it is to go 8-0.
Good luck to all you. Even Slozo, who I think cheated somehow to win. Does that guy ever lose a bet???
